Trash accumulating somewhere? That spot needs a trash can.
Clothes? That spot needs a hamper/basket.
Spot in the yard keeps getting messed up due to walking or cars going off the driveway there? Put down some stone.
Behavior modification (for some sorts of things, anyway) should be a last resort because it probably won't work, and requires ongoing effort. Fix the environment, and it's done.
