Top 3 struggles
Paper clutter would have to be top of the list.I have to recycle any junk mail immediately and throw out unnecessary receipts on my way out of a store.Important ones go straight into an envelope.Using one small spiralbound notepad cuts down on loose paper all over the place.(If I don't, my pocketbook,tabletops and dresser are overflowing before I realize it). An armoire works better ,for me,than a dresser.Everything is easily accessible and it's tough to clutter the top of an armoire.
Second would be time management. I've learned to be a clock watcher and to cut down my daily to do list (allowing a "cushion of time" between errands and appointments to help reduce lateness and stress).
Third is sticking with mindnumbingly mundane tasks until they are completed. Once I recognized that uncomfortable feeling ( of being "imprisoned") while trying to sustain focus, I've been able to work around it. Music makes even dishwashing bearable. A short break can refresh my brain and give me a "second wind". Sometimes just visualizing myself relaxing after the "drudgery" can help me push through it.
I call it my "light at the end of the tunnel".
