As a mathematician, one reason I find it hard to keep my house tidy is that tidying up involves categorising things. Some of these decisions are easy - books belong on shelves, non fiction organised by theme, fiction alphabetically by author. But some decisions are hard, and this is why traditionally most houses have drawers for 'bits and bobs' - stuff that isn't easily categorised. Most of my house is currently bits and bobs 🙁
