It’s a mesmerizing experience.

Something amazing happened yesterday. We cleaned out our garage. I use the “we” in the royal sense, because all I did was sit there in front of the door and tell people they were doing things wrong. “No! Don’t throw that roll of fabric away! It was only slightly nibbled by rats.”

I bought color-coded bins to hold holiday decorations. Black-and-orange for Halloween. Red-and-green for Christmas. But apparently those were considered merely a suggestion by the rest of my family, because the random piles in the garage include all the Christmas ornaments and plastic skulls that once resided in those bins.

Would you like to guess how many of these items were in their proper place when we started cleaning yesterday? If you answered “None,” you would be correct. Because they were in the Everest-sized piles on the floor, for reasons I cannot fathom. Except that none of the kids putting things away could be bothered to spend the extra 1.1 nanoseconds to put them on the shelf rather than just chucking them onto the floor.

Anyway, none of this clutter could be put in the garage because — as you have surmised — it was already full. So, cleaning out the garage was the first step in taking back my house from the demons of mess.
