If keeping your place non-messy seems hard it’s probably because there are items that don’t have explicit home locations. This means both that they accrue in any spare spaces, and also that you avoid cleaning up because it induces decision fatigue since you have to think about where things go. One can also make the mistake of setting home locations that make ‘logical sense’ in terms of one sort of grouping, but don’t reflect patterns of actual usage of objects. Common example: clothes that have been worn once but you’ll wear again before laundering.
