The School Thing: I am so freaking thankful I have no choice in it, because I know I would go totally insane with choices. It was so relieving to just go into 14th st and say "here ya go! 1 kid, ready for Kindergarten!" and be DONE.
The bedroom thing -- have you read "the Happiness Project" by Gretchen Rubin? I am reading it (well, my overdrive loan expired in chapter 8 and I am waiting for it to be available again to finish) but she started with a closet organization and keeps going back to how much energy it gave her, and it was really really inspiring. I kind of hate that I am loving a book with such a treacle-y title and objective, but then another of her recurring mantras through the book is "Be Gretchen," so it really speaks to me no matter how Pollyanna it is. Literally! ANyway, the book touches on both organization AND the maximizer vs satisficer dilemma, and so does this post, so I thought you might enjoy it.
