Hate the mess? Having children does not necessarily mean a messy home. Making organization fun for them will also return your sanity as well.

Use colorful bins and LABEL!
I know it seems like another task to label but your kids will follow more if you teach them and label their bins. It will give them a sense of ownership.

Set up hooks and a bench at the entry of your home or at the entry of your child's room.

I never realized how important this is but having a command center is something I think everyone should have, kids or no kids. After all, we have letters, bills, shoes and other paraphernalia that will accumulate and create a mess if we don't have a space for it. Add bins at the bottom of the bench and label with each child's name.
Use a desk organizer, cork board/blackboard/whiteboard for their study.
Well, you're not the only one who needs this! Your kids do as well. They'll be studying for at least 16 years after all! For those with asthma, use a whiteboard. For older kids, a cork board and a blackboard is fun!
Place a bin near their bed.
I honestly don't know why my son has so much things near his bed. I solved the problem by adding a bin. It relegates his mess to one container! Sorry, son, you star in this role!!
