how do i get my husband to be organized?

we rent our spare bedrooms and part of the basement to other people and he just doesn't see the point of putting stuff away in a timely manner or putting anything back in its place most of the time. he would rather throw all the junk in a box, put it downstairs and forget about it. Out of sight, out of mind -

These boxes have since accumulated and iiiiiiii am the one cleaning them out now.... there's prob 70 boxes of papers, junk and stuff that doesn't even BELONG in a box (like old takeout food??? ) i've tried talking about it but he just gets defensive....

You have two choices
The carrot or the stick

The stick:
Set a timer for 24 hours and then get a flame 馃敟 thrower and torch

The carrot:
Bury the TV 馃摵 remote in one of the obscure boxes 馃摝

If he hasn't used it in a while, then it's probably best you dispose of it. Ask him if he wants it... If he says yes, then tell him to help himself. Give him 3 days... After that just throw away the remaining stuff. That ways you won't feel guilty.

im just worried it will keep happening .... even when this junk is gone
Boy! Magazines is one thing even I have a difficult time throwing away! Esp. Ones like Readers Digest... I can imagine it must be quite a task for him.
I get ya! Why don't you buy one of those garden cupboards and keep them in the garage. And give him racks to keep this things. That ways when he wants to add to his pile, it will be neat and organized next time! :)
@HumblleJumblle: it will

It won't happen by preaching for sure. Might some blackmailing work!

example?
Simply tell him his boxes looked like trash and you took them to the dump

i would do that except i have no real idea what's in them - i have found some of my own stuff in them too like my bills or paperwork i need but didn't tell him to throw in there. might be shooting myself in the foot too.
