C brought up the importance of delegation. Can't repeat this enough. Delegate to your partner, your kids, and to paid help if need be. Swap organizing "services" with a friend. You do NOT need to do this alone, nor should you.

Jedi to-do list trick: You WILL be interrupted throughout your day. So add rough time estimates to your to-do items (5 mins, 15 mins, 1 hour, etc.). That way, when your kid throws up and your three hours of writing time gets reduced to 15 minutes, you can plug something into that open slot.

Keyword from Christine and Meagan: RUTHLESS. Ha! But remember, too, that getting rid of stuff means making decisions, and that can be hard. Be gentle with yourself! You don't have to organize your entire life in one week!

Absolute necessity as you undertake getting organized: a calendar and a to-do list. Whatever format works for you...use it and keep it with you every day. There's NO way to keep everything in your head.

I'm hearing lots of frustration with how to manage paper without getting overwhelmed. The key (which I have yet to successfully pull off) is to chip away at the piles AND the inflow a little each day.
