Wanted: Organization skills

I know in my head how its supposed to be. Neat and orderly and filed so that you can find things again. But for some reason I seem completely incapable of making it so. I went in to work this afternoon for the sole purpose of neatening my office. And I did put a dent in it. Got all the stuff under my desk sorted out and put, or thrown, away. And it looks better than it has since we moved in 3 years ago. The top of the desk still needs help. I know I have too much paper. I'm drowning in piles of it. But I must have some gene left over from the Great Depression or something because I just have a hard time throwing things away. And then there's the "little notes"- On my monitor, my overhead bin, the side of my computer, paperclipped to my calendar, in my mug, in my pockets...
Intellectually I know what I have to do. I'm just having a hard time getting there. But at least I've taken the first step today. If only I had some organization skills. I guess I should right now put a hold on "Organizing for Dummies". It can't hurt. And it just might help.
