Help!! I think I need to set some controlled fires!

I'm overwhelmed with the stuff in my home. I have several areas that are on my list for "going through and purging". The problem is that I can't seem to find the time to get through them. If I start something I invariably end up running out of time and then have to leave it half done. Then my priorities shift and/or I get distracted by another area of higher concern.

I know that I want to reduce a lot of the stuff, but I just can't seem to let it all go without having one more look to make sure there is nothing there that I could still need at some point in time.

I keep dropping hints about people nominating my house for a Clean Sweep program or something, but it just isn't happening [;-)]. I wish I had the money to hire someone to come in and help me out. I have found that even having someone there just to keep me focussed and on task helps greatly.

I should add that we have a busy home with 5 year old twins, a dog, we both work full time and have other activities outside the home. My ideal home would be something a lot more simple that would take a lot less time to keep tidy given our busy lifestyle.

Thanks for reading my little vent!
