Making putting things away easier
I will never win the "there is a place for everything - and everything is in its place" award.
However - I have found a few things that help me
1) Drawers work better than boxes (things with lids) for the things I use frequently. Drawers that are between 1 and 3 feet from the floor are my prime real estate for easy access.
2) Shelving works better than stacking. If I have to move ten things to get to the thing I want - I tend to leave the ten things wherever they ended up. Not a good plan - but it is what happens. It's also helpful to not need a stool or ladder to reach things.
3) Try to keep a few horizontal spaces bare. It's a good thing my washing machine is a top loader so I have to keep it bare!
4) Too much of anything can become a burden instead of a blessing. If I knew then what I know now - maybe I would have done things differently.
What do other "clutterers" do when things become overwhelming?
