Path through the domestic clutter

How do you go about clearing a path through the rubbles? Ok, so I am exaggerating the chaos but the question ‘where do I start kept niggling me.’
I kept reminding myself to stay calm and that my babu was my priority. Since I was breast feeding him, I atleast didn’t have to worry about making and storing baby foods.
Flylady keeps reminding us that the place did not clutter in a day so it will take time to clear. I started following the newsletter again and working a bit on the zones. The zone that was on when I started was kitchen which worked just fine for me. I had to order groceries , veggies etc. So I did wiping and cleaning as I went about storing them. So within a week the kitchen was, if not its old self, at least civilised.
As I kept up going bravely with one bag at a time, one drawer at a time; Soon tabletops began to appear. Floor space resurfaced. Of course my loving DH helped me and supported me along the way.
 With the de-cluttering slowly my mind de-cluttered. Believe me an untidy surrounding can really clog the thoughts. There are still a lot of things that need work. Slow and steady is how I plan to go. Everything from my wardrobe , clothes , kitchen stuff, hobby stuff, THE PROJECTS will all get sorted in due course of time.
This is also when the thoughts of doing something to express myself and returning back to the blog came to me. Here I am, Miles to go before I rest.
