Please could you explain this a little more? I’m the sort of person who lets the mess build up to a critical mass, and I’d love to have a better system.
- Walkman 8y agoThat's not a system at all.
- acastroe 8y agoIsn't that the typical "garbage collection" strategy? Let it build up and only clear it in bulk?
- slig 8y agoNo the OP, but this works for me: say you're on your living room and going to the kitchen. If you see something that should be on the kitchen grab it and place it there. Just one small thing at a time moved to the right place will eventually sort most of your mess.
- SamReidHughes 8y agoPut two things away for every one thing you bring out, basically. Prioritize moving the disorganization out of sight, then organize your shelves/closet later.
- krzjn 8y agoThree suggestions: 1) Get rid of anything that you haven't used for years or that you don't feel an emotional connection with 2) Have a designated place for each belonging you possess 3) Cultivate the habit of putting things away immediately after you're done before doing the next activity.
