DePressMe,
Sorry if you thought you were alone on this one. I'm just happy that I USUALLY put my keys in the same general area. I've tried withholding things (no computer or Sims until x is done).
I've tried seeing how long it was before "I just couldn't take the chaos" anymore."
The only time that everything is where it belongs is when I'm manic, and that was not happening very often. It was almost worth the depression to have my house SPARKLE, cupboards organized, papers filed properly, not a piece of laundry in sight (clean or dirty).
If you figure out a way to get organized on a full time basis, to make it so that the pop can makes it that extra four inches to the trash can, the keys are hung up and you can find both shoes, jacket, and purse (well I'm sure you don't use a purse, but a wallet is easier to lose), SELL THE FORMULA. You'll be a rich man and you can pay someone to come in and do those things for you.
