    Yes and if you go into pile mode then try to have some kind of storage boxes so once you hit the wall, you can put the piles into boxes to get back to. That’s what I try to do now because having the piles laying around just attracted more piles, mixes up in piles and just visual overload!

    I hated cleaning my room as a kid and my folks would get so so mad at me that I would start cleaning and just get so overwhelmed that I threw everything out. I hate thinking about all the stories, poetry I had as a kid/teenager I just didn’t know how to organize so I threw it all out ☹️ so much creativity I threw away in those clean ups.

      Yeah, that’s why step one is to begin organizing things. Putting things in even a semblance of order reduces the visual overstimulation.

      And the good news is that you can always create again! Losing your old work doesn’t have to be the last of your creative efforts.
