However, he discusses the issue that this might in fact be a genetic condition and not just a case of laziness or messiness. I’m not going to give a whole summary here because really, it speaks for itself. So without further ado,

Hi! Becca told me about your blog, super cool! I can use some organizing:) And the intersection between scrapbooking and organizing--lots to say there! Becca mentioned you scrapbook, too?
