Yes, the process of taking back control has begun and just a small victory so far in consolidating a load of electrical bits and throwing stuff out. It is a little victory but it is also a start and it gets things moving slowly and steadily. Of course, I found the fuses I was looking for last week and had to reorder! So I now have hundreds of small glass fuses! Oh well, at least the car adaptors are working once again.
All the lamps are now together in one box which starts to help and the fuses are in two locations with the electrical tools and the small tool box with all the hobby tools in it. So now, I can start to do one or two things a day and get organised and also start to make a little room. It's no use doing it all at once as that would be a little depressing and a lot of hard work and the task is monumental. Little steps, little victories, gradual reorganisation and results will come.
I feel a lot better, no booze despite the temptation to have some and now the next stages gradually come together as I tackle a little at a time. I think the overall thing is daunting but if you can just tackle small areas at a time it can get resolved. I now need to also start throwing stuff away which will make room and giving stuff away too. It's sat here for months if not years just in case...
"Slowly, Slowly, Catchy Monkey" or sometimes "Softly, Softly, Catchee Monkey" comes to mind. An old phrase you used to hear a lot but not so much these days. We will get there and if I only do 10 minutes a day - it will be progress.
