I was thinking what is my big hold up on getting everything clean.. then it came to me.. it is safety.
It's not a mess it's a theft deterrent system. See if anyone were to try to break into my home.. they would first have issue with opening the door with the shoes piled behind it trip over a box get their foot snagged in the laundry fall flat on their face on some lego's. This all of course would wake everyone up in the house enough to be calling the police.. So yeah that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. (of course makes walking at night difficult but I'm almost used to it)
