sorta the best way to do it as i have decided, being a teenager and having to do chores is that there gets a point where u just realiz its better to clean up at the moment than wait till later, dont always do it but im workin on it.
try to get everyone to simply clean as things go along. while you wait for something to download, clean up around you. while commercials are on throw stuff away. it's like lazy cleaning. instead of just doing nothing while there is nothing else going on, clean up. it sounds silly but it sorta works. better than nothing. also when i cant sleep i clean my room, i get tired of cleaning and go back to bed
EDIT: YOU CAN ONLY DRINK BEER WHEN EVERYTHING IS CLEANED UP! lol i bet that'll work
i also agree with lafemmefatale's ideas, doesnt hurt to try em
