My life would flow with greater ease if I could wrap my mind around the little decisions that need to be made every day.

For example, I have a hard time making quick and on-the-go decisions about where to put what. A good example is my cluttered work desk at home. Rather than throw out a few papers, file some others and leave the rest as they are (i.e, doing some decluttering), I simply do nothing.
The hardest part of decluttering for me, is finding the right home for each piece of paper.

The pile grows, and though I know I can take care of some of it right now and get partial relief from the mess, I feel so overwhelmed that I take no action at all.

I would feel a little more radiant if I could let go of my dream of the perfectly tidy desk - which never materializes - and start taking small steps a few times a week to throw out/put away those papers that do have a home (on my shelves, in my drawers, etc.)

Generally speaking, I am very good about maintenance......my home is quite tidy.
But the pile on my work desk is a different story......I feel I need to be able to decide about ALL of it before I can start taking action.

Any comments?
