How can you think that if it is clean you won't be able to find anything? Seriously? That's just because you don't know, right off the top of your head, that all of the blue socks go in the right hand front corner of the second drawer, while the white ones are the entire left side. Meanwhile, all clothes are in the closet, facing the same way, organized first by type/purpose, then by color. Front bar is current season, back bar is opposing season (that's long vs. short sleeves for some of you.) If everything has an EXACT place, then nothing is ever hard to find. I can lay my hands on anything at all in my house, in the dark, in about 5 seconds flat. Unless my kids have been in that room in the last day, or my husband was looking for something.

OK, so my house is messy, but in my HEAD it is clean, and my side of my room is clean. Don't knock OCD kids. Besides, my way you trip less.
