Oh Dana! I do know how you feel. I am overwhelmed by my mother's alarming deterioration and I've been ignoring a huge and constantly growing pile of stuff-to-do for weeks now. Today I grabbed both of the 12" high piles of paper and dealt with each bit of paper that I could deal with immediately (loads and loads of file or bin, a few phone calls and cheques to write). When I'm this desperate I don't prioritise or sort, I just traipse back and forward with each bit of paper, putting it away and then looking at the next one, which often has to be filed in the same damn place. Inefficient? yes. But otherwise I just end up shuffling the papers again (
and again and again).
Start in one corner - the nearest spot. Or I'll come and help you!!!!
