Well that was a waste of time....

i think it's easier to clean from total chaos which is why i say it get worse before it gets better. when you're trying to tidy an untidy pile of stuff, you're picking things out slow, one at a time.

Dump it on the floor and clear the space you're trying to tidy, then as you go thru the debris, bin what you don't need and put back what you do.

the dvd's were a nightmare.. 300 odd, most of which weren't in boxes.. so, boxes go ina pile on the floor, spread em out, then it's much easier to see the right box when you pic a dvd out the other pile.

or alternatively, end your life of materialistic obsession and burn it all. I would say give it away, but i'd still have to tidy it all if i did that.

I've got, probably, nearly 10 times that many  :oops: ..... so sorting them out is a bit of a problem.

I never leave discs out of boxes though, at least I haven't got that to deal with.  :lol:

I have a similar amount I suspect. I once decided to try and put them in some sort of order. I got to 'B' before I abandoned that stupid idea. They currently languish in, on top of and around 5 bookcases. I have a rough idea where most things are... I still have to reshuffle every now and then to create more space.

My Daughter (8 years old) is always leaving discs out of boxes or putting a disc in the wrong case. Sometimes the 'wrong case' scenario can involve up to 10 discs in the wrong cases, kind of like a treasure hunt. It drives me nuts.

Exactly like me!  Everything's totally disorganised (although I do half-heartedly try to lump Criterions together, or films by particular directors, if there's space...), but I do know roughly where everything is.   :lol:

my sister does that (and she doesn't have the excuse that she's 8, either :lol: ). Very annoying :lol:
