Hello, fellow steppers,
I'm new here--this looks like a wonderful place. I am 54, married with an adult child, and a messie all my life. I am looking for that magic solution that will help change my procrastination and bad attitude to one of keeping our living space nice. I look forward to reading and being influenced to step out of my squalor. Thanks in advance!

Hi Maysmom, I have my adult daughter living with me whilst she gets her degree. If there was a magic solution, we'd have bottled it and marketed it to millions already, but we do have a few good ideas; listzilla, working in threes, challenging in chat. And amazingly, for a totally demand resistant person such as myself, I find these do actually work. Some sort of Jedi mind trick , I suspect, !

Welcome, maysmom !
The only magic we can offer is to encourage each other, share ideas, remind each other that the battle can be won. It seems to work.

Welcome, Maysmom! One magic trick that I learned is to hire help. Who woulda thunk it, that it helps a messie to have a regular housekeeper? ! My lady comes every two weeks, and it helps to keep me accountable.
Bit by bit, keep reading and posting, and you will find the encouragement that you need to make gread progress.
