I'm trying to figure out how paper keeps accumulating in my office.
At the moment, I have a pile on my desk to my right. I have no clue what that is.
To my left, I have a bunched up mess that is actually a timeline/scene list for a book I've written. Not sure I need it anymore or not, but I'm leaning toward tossing it because it got mangled when I pushed my laptop over.
Underneath the laptop is more papers. Have no clue what those are either and I'm kind of scared to lift the computer and look at them.
On top of my black and white printer, I have two separate stacks of unidentified papers.
Under my window, I have a cart with two levels and multiple drawers. I know what's on the top. Mostly. But that second tier? It's a disaster.
Then there are the stacking bins over my desk, the plastic bins I bought to organize myself, but just dumped more papers in, the stack on top of my drawer that used to be where I kept my planner. And oh, yeah, the stacks on top of the filing cabinets.
This is where someone without ADHD would say, you just start and work through it. Unfortunately, I take one look at all this, get overwhelmed and find something else to do. My executive function just checks out when it sees this mess.
Sigh. The paper overwhelm is real.
