More PASes
What else in your home has a messy PUT AWAY STYLE (PAS) for you?
Socks and underwear?
Then use a drawer or container big enough that you can simply cram your undies and socks in anyway, unfolded and unmatched. Who cares?
The garden hose?
Then get a big outdoor pot and toss it in there in a wad. (Or do what I do and buy one on a spool that you can retract by turning the handle.)
Spices?
Then get them off that messy, visible spice rack and toss them into a bin instead, one that hides inside a nearby kitchen cabinet.
Art supplies?
Again, get a bin that's big enough to scoop them into a give that bin a place in a nearby closet or cabinet. ( I still wish I could get back the hours I spent when my kids were little separating crayons from markers-like it mattered!)
What else has a messy PAS in your world? Think about it, then create a system that accomodates it rather than one which is incompatible with it. You'll soon find that things are staying cleaner simply because you anticpated your messy PAS and created a system that accomodated it.

My favorite PAS so far has to be in my bedroom. I used to have a ton of makeup/toiletries on my dresser that I would use each day. I like to use them in my bedroom rather than the bathroom and no matter how well I tried to organize my stuff on the dresser, it always appeared cluttered. Then one day when I was working on cleaning out that zone, I realized that I could get rid of enough stuff in my dresser that I could free up an entire drawer. Now I use that drawer to toss all of my makeup and stuff in and not have to worry about it being organized. All I have to do is shut the drawer and the mess is gone!!
And that's EXACTLY what I'm talking about! Awesome. Thanks for sharing!
