How do you stay organized?

My apartment got way worse while I was away... It's cluttered with returns dad needs to send out. :'D

People think i'm a little over the top at keeping organised but honestly I don't really notice i'm doing it. I get a lot of stick for it!

I don't even like a coaster being slightly out of place. I can't relax until everything is put away tidy, I've always been this way and actually drives me insane!

I hate messy desktops too.

What motivates you to keep it so tidy? Like, what emotion?

Unfortunately I'm one of the worst clutterbugs there are. That has forced me to try to organize everything, because if I don't have a perfect and detail-oriented system I'll be doomed: missing every appointment and deadline. So now I have all of my files neatly organized in folders on my computer, I've got to sort out my inbox every day so that it's empty, and I have digital to-do lists on everything, including every small or minor step on the way to reaching a goal. And yes, that includes showering, eating and drinking water.

I guess you could argue that that makes me the opposite of a clutterbug, but the thing is that if I just one day forget or neglect to follow up my to-do list or clean my inbox, I'm lost. Everything gets messy.

I'm pretty unorganized but I try to be as organized as possible with certain things like my games or if something seems valuable to me. If there's any item that seems like it's valuable then I will definitely be more organized with it. That's only if the item is worth money though. Things like my clothes I have to admit I'm a bit of a slouch. My room is always a mess but it isn't terribly messy. I just keep my clothes in a pile. The rest is clean.
