House clutter. It’s everywhere, within hours of a major room cleaning/straightening. A truth bubbled up in my mind as I pondered the clutter on my coffee table today which was not there two days ago; it was a clean empty surface.

The truth is, I do not put stuff away because I am afraid I will not remember where I put it, forget that I have it even. Things remain scattered throughout the house because I am incapable of imagining a suitable place to put them. So they are left in sight. I did not always have this handicap.
