MOVE OUT! Your home isn't a show home -- so stop expecting it to look like one. As I often say, there's a balance to everything. So even though you can't expect your home to be perfect 24/7, it also shouldn't look like a tornado came through either. There are some very simple things you can do to keep your home neater, more organized and less cluttered on a daily basis.
One of the best ways to stay organized is to evaluate your storage systems. Above all else, your systems should be EASY. If it's not easy and convenient to RETRIEVE AND PUT AWAY the items you use frequently, chances are you'll get items out (you do NEED it, after all) but then you'll skip the all-important step of putting it away, or you'll put it away in the wrong spot, creating clutter and disorganization.
It only takes a day or two of pulling items out and neglecting to put them away, for your house to be in a relative shambles. If you let that habit take hold, by the end of a week or two you'll be facing a clutterstorm of Biblical proportion. The solution is to identify the things you use all the time and store them in places and in ways that makes it easy for you to maintain and you'll find it's much easier to stay organized day to day.
