Maybe you have tried to use an organizing system, read the book, bought all the containers and set it all up only to have it fail. The books on organizing are under piles here and there in your home. Tried and abandoned.
You have a stack of colored folders, a brand new file cabinet, a dozen working categories, but your papers never make it into a file folder, not to mention, the cabinet.
You figure you're an impossible case yet are not quite willing to accept discomfort and chaos as the way things are going to be forever.
