Every table in the living room becomes a drop point. The coffee table, the end tables, every shelf on the entertainment center.... keys, toys, books, newspapers, misc junk, cd players, cd's, anything and everything ends up there. I HATE it. Its the room you walk into thru the front door so its the first impression -- and I cant stand when its messy.

In our house it sees to be shoes.... With 5 of us there is always a pile by the front and side doors. I sometimes try to put them away in the closet, but withing no time they are out again with all of the in and outs of the day. I wish I had a mud roo where we could just take off all our shoes and close the door!!!

especially laundry. We have a six month old and a three year old. So one still spits up on everything, and the other one, new to potty training, pees on everything (we're working on aim. lol).

Did anyone catch Oprah yesterday? Peter Walsh the organizing guru was on there? Very interesting. He talked about a myriad of things, but the one thing that struck me is he said if you have to think about an item you are trying to declutter. You don't need it. I am sure you can catch more on Oprah.com I thought I would share

Paper of any kind is my monster. Between regular stuff (mail, newspapers, catalogs, etc) and my college coursework (AWFUL!) and my non-profit secretarial stuff, I just can't keep up. I am comforted however, that my paper mess is much less than my mother's. She is a "clipper" and has clippings from magazines, newspapers, newsletters, etc everywhere. I eliminated that by using the evernote program -- free to download and absolutely wonderful.

I also have a lot of trouble with the nightstand in my bedroom. It always has spare change, magazines, books, to-do lists, pens, receipts, homework, eyedrops, and lotion on it!
