"I'm sure there are people out there who manage to keep all of the chores done and the house clean while on deadline, but it's a trick I've never managed."
These people are phantoms. They don't exist. They are the people that our mothers/fathers/teachers used as examples for our trying to keep our bedrooms/dens/desks in order.
I personally have not reached the "half way" to done and clean. In fact I'm happy if when I clear off the counters before the monthly cleaning people visit, I'm happy if everything fits in a single plastic bag. [And I bring the bag back out, and dump it back after the cleaning people leave.]
I spent several days last month printing up Tax forms, and looking up capital gains. This as prep work for actually doing my taxes. These are currently missing. Hopefully they will turn up in the den, or I will need to start all over.
