Thanks for the link to the article, Elisabeth.

I know my clutter and disorganization is learned behavior from my mom. I think that is why I have done so well with Flylady's programing.

I have found it very difficult to transfer those same new skills to the workplace. I still find myself with mountains of paperwork.

M clutter problem is a learned behavior also. My dad learned it from my grandparents. My grandparents were notorious packrats. I think it was a habit they developed from growing up poor. When they died, they had five buildings full of stuff, not including yard clutter.

It's hard to pare down mountains of paperwork. I've also found that some people go the opposite extreme and get rid of things they shouldn't have. Files that are currently active shouldn't be missing major pieces of information.
