We are pushing 80. My husband has A.D.D. and I am what they call anal.  The clutter makes me nuts.  Now my husband has vascular dementia and the disorder has overtaken my life.  Plus I take care of him, the house, an acre, and all the chores he used to do.  Shingle the roof, repair the fence, replace the washing machine parts the rodents ate, etc. Can't afford to have it all done. I pray for a few quiet moments when I can do some needle work.  Dr. Gabor Mate's book "Scattered" helped me understand my husband.  Wonderful book.  Decluttering gives me a feeling of accomplishment and is done in the spirit of a gift for my son when God calls me home.Ms. Brooks' first step was an eye opener for me.  Figuring out why things are where they are!  Wow. Thank you for a very helpful article.
