When people are given assistance to organize, the organizer helps them categorize like-items together. Conferring with the client, they come up with a spot to store those items. What I find is that people who struggle with being organized don't allow those spots to stay purely assigned to, say, collar stays for men's shirts. A small box on a dresser is designated for all those little tabs that keep collars stiff, but then some receipts get thrown in, filling it up. As a result, the person can't find the stays in the little box and he begins laying them all over the dresser again.
Don't let yourself mix stuff into other stuff's designated spot. I've seen it happen over and over again. If too much resides in a storage place, you won't be able to find what you initially wanted in there.
Keep the storage bins, drawers, and boxes pure…don't let rogue clutter seep into your organizational system.
