I tried that once with my mother's kitchen counter. It was completely cluttered, not an inch of open space. So I organized, put things away, opened up space. When I returned the next day, ALL the cluttered had returned. Love my Mom!

I once worked for a company where I had a clear table so that I could use it when I needed to pull boxed off shelves to sort through the contents. It was like a magnet for anyone who walked by - they always placed something in my open space. Is there a name for such behavior? People who can't stand open spaces?
