One other thought: the least efficient closets are those with one shelf and one hanging bar. It has taken most of my adult life (because 3 different houses) to banish that system and methodically install closet systems with multilevel hanging and multiple smaller shelves. Game changer every time.
What I have learned is horizontal surfaces have a “crap factor” that is heavier than normal gravity. The more items that land there and the longer they remain, the stronger the crap factor. Eventually it seems too heavy to reverse. You have found the secret, Kate! Handle once. We have our paper recycling bins in our garage, right where we enter with incoming mail. The decision gets made before we enter the house: junk is immediately mailbox to dumpster. You are beating the crap factor and helping others do the same ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Right now I've just put cube-shelves into the closet, but maybe it's time to give it the Roughhousing treatment...
