Newfs:

have no problems with clutter, never have. If anything I have always had the opposite problem

I also have a daughter like this.  She is super-neat. 

I have sooo many what-nots and deco and books , that when cleaning time comes, i think  where do i start.  But if i think about getting rid of something, it has some kind of meaning to me,  so I clean and put it back.  I don't have anything stored  that i don't use ,  it's all out there.   I guess when I cant reach the top shelf, something will have to go PROBABLY ME!!!

Every so often I get into this mode where I have to get rid of the excess in my life. I get rid of what I'm not using and reorganize what I decide to keep. Then one day I realize that all that stuff I kept and reorganized hasn't been used either. The older I get, the less important some things become. But there's always that "in between stage" of asking "Will I miss it if I get rid of it?"

I really WISH I was superneat, that I couldn't stop myself from cleaning!  I have a couple friends like this and I wish very much that some of it would rub off on me.  OK, maybe not to the OCD extreme, but a little bit would be helpful!

I try really hard to keep up with everything but I get very overwhelmed.  The kids stuff mainly, just gets everywhere no matter how often I put it back together or have them help with clean up.  The kitchen seems to invite everyone's stuff when the come in the house.  Laundry seems to build up once it's clean, a pile to iron, a pile to fold, a pile to put away.  Never mind the actually cleaning.

The closets and drawers are full, there is too much stuff here!  Don't know where to put it but lots is stuff we use or need to keep.  I need better systems obviously.

I have been working hard to declutter and reorganize with the new baby coming in August.  Want things to be easier to use and get to, better for the kids to play and such.  It's hard to get it going!

One problem in this house is that there is not a lot of storage space like shelving, cabinets, closets, etc.  There are closets in the bedrooms that are good sized and they end up holding everything from what's supposed to be there to what fits there!  There is a small cabinet in the upstairs hall.  And that's it besides the pantry.  There are lots of places that will be perfect to have built in shelving and cabinetry done some day, but that costs a lot and won't be happening any time soon!  Even purchased storage containers and units can add up quick-but that is what we are starting with and doing little by little to get things organized.

Also there is a lot we need to purge.  My goal for the summer was to get the whole house cleaned and purged, I don't think I'm going to get it done before the baby-I only have 5 weeks left (if I'm lucky) and too much to do before then.  Oh well, by the end of the year maybe.

So yes, I can relate!  I try to take it bit by bit but sometimes it's just overwhelming!!
