How to keep my apartment tidy!!!!
It made me
happy 
"I am so glad I finally figured out an easy way for me to do this!"
How I did it: Every time I get up to do one thing, I put away a few other nearby things. It keeps the number of untidy objects to a manageable amount, and having a tidier place is definitely an incentive to keep it that way.
Lessons & tips: Just do a little every time you get up. Unless you have messy kids, spouse and/or a lot of stuff, it should work.

4 rooms down....1 to go
6 months ago
My living room is officially clean, along with my bathroom, kitchen & entry area.
I have filed away all my business paperwork junk, dusted everything (including the baseboards), and vacuumed every last inch of carpet.
I also got a chair for my desk, so I can work at my desk in my living room instead of carrying office mess onto the kitchen counter.
Last room to go: my bedroom & the sea of clothes….

I cleaned my kitchen & bathroom yesterday
7 months ago
I even cleaned my fridge out. I vow not to let them sink into the utter filth they had sunken to ever again! :P
Now I just need to tackle my living room (which has turned into my office) and the sea of clothes on my bedroom floor.
When did I become such a slob? I used to be sooo clean. I hate dirt!

Ikea - tick
2 years ago
I’ve finally made up all the Ikea furniture and have started tidying up the front room and bedroom. The place actually looks pretty good today. More work to be done though.

Eventually got both chest of drawers swapped this week. Made up one and halfway through the other. It will be tidier very very soon.

The instructions finally arrived yesterday so early this morning I started constructing the chest of drawers. I didn’t get very far until I realised that I was missing several pieces and had doubles of the others. Google “Ikea sucks”. There are more hits than you could imagine. I might be adding another to that tally.

I hassled Ikea so much yesterday that they finally emailed me the 32 page instructions for the sideboard which is going to tidy up the front room, and tomorrow they swap the damaged piece of the other chest of drawers. It’s going to be a fun weekend in this household.
Back to my Ikea experience

So yesterday the bolts arrived for the huge chest of drawers sitting in pieces in my living room. Guess what – no instructions! I tried unsuccessfully to figure out what goes where but I think I’ll wait until the instructions come through. There are almost a hundred pieces of wood and double that number of screws and things.
Very disappointed in my ikea experience.
Still don’t have the cracked piece for the other MASSIVE chest of drawers.
The apartment looks like a bomb has hit now with wood everywhere.
Ikea - not the best idea I've ever had
2 years ago
For a start, lots of screaming kids (it’s also how the boy felt), queues for lifts and everything. Bought too much to fit in the car. And then by the time we navigated the lifts again and got it all home (and a hundred or so pieces of wood – no instructions, screws or handles. Hmmmm. We went out for hot chocolate in the hope that kitten would put it all together for us but he couldn’t make sense of it either. Now we’re left with wood everywhere for the next “5 working days” (I’ll let you know how that pans out) before we get the extra bits.
