I would drive myself crazy if I tried to keep up with the little bits every single day. That's why I think it is important for people to realize that striving for that perfect space might not happen. But being able to pick up and have everything in place in 5 minutes is close enough! I know what you mean. I would drive myself crazy if I tried to keep up with the little bits every single day.

I call it clutter because spending 5, maybe 10 minutes clears it off. I have a basket on the table meant to house our camera & video camera (we are always reaching for one or the other) but that basket seems to collect a variety of other items too. A random piece from a toy, some mail that didn't make it to the office right away...all those little bits and pieces that a person doesn't know what to do or are perceived as to small to deal with right at that moment so they go in the basket. I like to call it "lazy clutter" because the bits & pieces are so random, there's really no system to put into place. It's just a matter of taking two minutes to clean it all up.

Small pockets of things being held onto for emotional reasons becomes chaos if left untended. It's so easy for things to get out of control.

I have piles and piles everywhere. Yes I have a filing cabinet but sitting down to sort and file seems so overwhelming. When I do sort I just sort the piles into like piles. Piles of bills, piles of notices from the kids' school, piles of you name it. I've tried baskets but it's the same thing as the piles. Once something is in a pile or basket there is no routine or system in place for acting on the piles or baskets. So frustrating. My desk. I have piles and piles everywhere.
