I CONSTANTLY battle with clutter. I am not a dirty person - I keep my fridge, oven, toilet, tub, floors very clean indeed but it's EVERY freaking table top or counter space - it just fills up. I have taken to making rules like they must be cleared before I go to sleep. But I am constantly putting stuff away. I don't seem to realize I am doing this cluttering. I often wonder if it is a reflection of my mind, cluttered with too many thoughts at the same time.

I too procrastinate but oddly enough, I have never had a problem with laundry - folding laundry while watching TV just seems natural to me.
