If you are prone to drop, lay down, or toss items into the same location day in and day out, then you should probably just set up a system to work within your own tendencies by placing a “clutter collector” in this location.
Clutter collectors can be things such as: bowls for key or coins, hooks for purses or jackets, a charging station for your electronic devices, baskets to collect your incoming mail or magazines, or hampers for your dirty clothing.
The next time you find yourself just setting something down or tossing it across the room, stop and ask yourself if you should instead be placing a “clutter collector” in or near this area.
