QUESTION

I've been divorced for many years. I always had the majority of my life organized however during the marriage & then with small kids & single mom, everything has become chaotic. I know, and want, to change the situation. I'm burying myself deeper & deeper. There are papers, mess everywhere but I don't want to throw away as I may need it & anyway everything must be sorted as their may be important items within any pile /box of items. I also know exactly want I need to do - I have brilliant ideas for being organized. But I have been short of hours each day for past 15 yrs or more hence chaos reigns. Once I get going I quite enjoy it as am an organized thinker /person but I can't cope. The problem is to start & where. I have made a list because everything is top priority. The list is about 2 pages long & I "know" I won't complete what I want to do. I'm a perfectionist at heart hence as been told "all or nothing". I HAVE to make a change, if for no one else my girls. This is not the type of mother I want to be. It's a desperate of shortage of time. I have time now as I'm alone due to girls away, so should be able to do something but can't start. Do I start with office work or home work? Which room should I start with in the home since they're all is as important as each other? HELP. I'm real angry with myself & desperate. My life has been on hold for so many years I'm running out of years hence MUST make a change so to be able to start living!
