Time it!
My apartment has always looked like a disaster after an atomic bombing. I blamed it on the lack of time and tiredness. But it's enought! Can't stand spending 10 minutes in the morning looking for keys or serching a sylabys in the pile of papers for a half an hour. So i went through one of those "how to organize your life" books and found one very old and good advise to spend 5 minutes a day organizing mess in the apartment. I know, it is a very old one and everybody knows it, but for some reasond I've never never been trained to do so and became a very messy person. The experiment revealed that 5 munutes are not enought, so now i set my timer up on 10 munutes and run around the apartment like a chicken with it's head cut off. )
