Three suggestions: 1) Get rid of anything that you haven't used for years or that you don't feel an emotional connection with 2) Have a designated place for each belonging you possess 3) Cultivate the habit of putting things away immediately after you're done before doing the next activity.

No the OP, but this works for me: say you're on your living room and going to the kitchen. If you see something that should be on the kitchen grab it and place it there. Just one small thing at a time moved to the right place will eventually sort most of your mess.

Put two things away for every one thing you bring out, basically. Prioritize moving the disorganization out of sight, then organize your shelves/closet later.

That's not a system at all.

Isn't that the typical "garbage collection" strategy? Let it build up and only clear it in bulk?
