I hear ya on that 6 hours thing – I spent something like 6 hours on a memorabilia-sorting project yesterday. Which, in the grand scheme of things, isn’t nearly as essential as getting your kitchen into shape! Kitchens can be sneaky because, as you point out, a lot of non-kitchen stuff finds its way in there, and so a kitchen clean-up usually has me visiting several other rooms in the house!
I’m proud to say that I actually finished the memorabilia project, aided in no small part by re-defining what “finished” meant. When I started I had boxes in several different rooms, all labeled “scrapbook stuff.” I ditched the whole scrapbook notion. Now “finished” means I have 4 clearly labeled boxes, sorted into general chronological order (1 box high school, 1 box college, etc), all with lids I can easily open and close, all on the basement shelves, all on the same shelf! Finished!
