Another great way to organize all of your storage belongings is to itemize them on index cards in correlation with the boxes you have them stored in.

For example Box A1 books, list all the titles on the index card so that when you are searching you don’t have to go through 10 different boxes to find one book. Start another card for ornaments Box B2 list all the ornaments you can do the same for your dishes, miscellaneous items etc. by itemizing, it takes time but it will save a lot of time later, when you need to search for some thing.

I couldn’t agree more with this article. I just met with a professional organizer named Justin Klosky and he told me so many of the same things from this list. I have to say that everything he did for us was on this list, he of course took it a step beyond, but I would never of had the time or patience to start these systems myself. I would suggest using someone to help get you started and then take over from there. Check out his site http://www.ocdexperience.com as its worth 2 minutes of your time.

To Mike,
I would have your son visit a psychologist, they help enormously with emotional aspects and can perscribe a medication. If you do take this path, be warned your son probably will have to try several diffent meds before he finds one that suits him.

I take 40mg of Lexipro (after trying 4 other meds), its helped me alot and reduced my compulsions ten fold.

He will probably feel uncomfortable about the first visit, and will probably get deffensive (I did) but after a while it really increases quality of life.
