Make Shared Spaces Easy for the Messiest Person to Maintain

If shared spaces only stay clean when the tidiest person maintains them, the system is fragile. Design for the lowest effort level: fewer items on counters, clear labels, obvious storage spots, trash cans in the right places. A system that works for the messiest person works for everyone. Instead of nagging someone to change their habits, change the environment so the easy thing to do is also the right thing to do.
