First, things in disorder become like "invisible": we can not find the right thing, or even forget that we have it. As a result, we again buy the same things! It is also dangerous to have a mess in the papers: receipts for utility bills, warranty coupons and other important documents must be stored in separate boxes or folders with mandatory sorting by date.
