If you’ve noticed your room is turning from neat to out of control and you’re not sure what’s going on, you may be following a surprisingly toxic schedule. These messy room habits will sneak up on you without warning, but identifying them is the first step to a glorious recovery.

Watch out for, and totally eliminate, these bad habits:

Right out of the shower, you may be tempted to throw your towel on your bed, seemingly temporarily, while you get ready. What ends up happening is that you get ready, rush out the door and let your towel soak onto your comforter. Yuck.

We bet you $100 that you will totally forget to put that jacket away once you put your pajamas on the chair, too, and then your workout clothes that you will also forget about for approximately two weeks.

6. You Keep Your Documents In Some Folder In Some Bin
