I find clearing up so boring. Someone suggested the approach of putting two things away everytime you go into the room - and I mean everytime - but this lasted for a day or two and I reverted to the usual - more things taken out than put away and piles of stuff everywhere.

I must admit that I kind of enjoy the chaotic state to a degree (and in my case it isn't unusual for this to include the floor as well as tables/desks/etc.). Still, there are few things more satisfying than beginning fresh, with a nice tidy work space...
