In my experience, neat and organized people can't help themselves any more than sloppy people can change their DNA. I have been working for two guys who DO HAVE ADHD with hording and have been "helping" for about 12 years now. No amount of "coaching" on Earth can help them. I have even informed them that if I slip on the stairs inside the building because they leave tools, mail, magazines, empty lunch containers, motorcycle parts, whatever on the damn stairs - I will sue them. Still, EVERY DAY they leave stuff on the stairway.

I do not know you or what kind of person you are, but I do have a ton of experience with hiring/firing people in large and small businesses. I am one extreme for sure. If you leave a tool on your workbench overnight, it will be the paperweight for your pink slip next morning. However, I can't fire the owner and manager in this case. In my experience, organized people are continually figuring out better ways to do things (which is why I didn't contaminate your thinking with MY way to pack a suitcase) and slobs can not change. Which is why I have to simply replace them as soon as they reveal themselves. I know better than to give sloppy people advice.

If you are an organized person, you will easily figure this out. If you are a slob, you never will.
