I would never know where anything was. I had this problem with asthma inhalers. I probably had 6, and when I had an attack, I couldn't find any of them. Now they are in special places--purse, kitchen drawer, desk, etc. It works a lot better

Earmarking is a recovery tool in Clutterers Anonymous. We have to have a comfortable place and space for everything before bringing it into the house. We have to have earmarked space in order to avoid clutter. When we are through with using an item, we return it to that space. Using the tool of earmarking helps me too, when I do it. A comfortable place for everything and everything in its comfortable place. Learning to accept our limitations is the main part of the battle. When we do not have the comfortable space, energy, time, finances or ability to comfortably have a thing we must let it go if we want to be at peace.
