    You could try using a system like "Getting Things Done" or "GTD". GTD helps you organizing yourself. You can find short Intros to GTD at the following two web pages:

    When you are done using anything, put it away. This includes dishes, newspapers, clothes ( hang them up or put them in the laundry), mail
    etc. (This does not included spouses or children) If everone in the household would be responible for themselves, there would be very little clutter left. tingirl

    Simplify things -- just use three sets of clothes , things like that ...so if you organize your wardrobe once it will not be disturbed except for the times when you have a party etc.

    In the kitchen fix "A place for everyting" and put back "everything in its place"

    I took five different time-management seminars, and they didn't help me as much as one simple procedure and another simple principle for handling paperwork.

    The principle is FIFO, first-in, first-out. Everything that comes in goes to an inbox and when my desk is clear, I dump the inbox upside down on the desk and work through things in the order they came in on. Why it works: I look at it on its way in and my subconscious mind works on it while it's working its way through the inbox and by the time it comes to the top I don't have to think about it, it's almost automatic.

    Second is that--when I had a large home office, with things going back and forth to the house for my wife's signature, or to get tossed on the workbench to get fixed or whatever, I once was preparing to quit my position. I had the idea of concentrating on the end-points, the points at which documents actually left my hands. Those spots in the office were kept absolutely clean, and I kept going back up the pipeline. In six weeks, for the first time in fifteen years, I ran out of things to do--both in the office and around the house. I call this the end-point principle.
