When I was still living at home, I was a slob. I had clothes and other random stuff everywhere. When I went to college and moved into the dorms, I realized that I was living in a room that was 3/4 the size of my bedroom at home and I had to share it with another person.
I started organizing EVERYTHING. I think the key is to put things in some sort of order so that it's easier to find. My CDs are in alphabetical order. My clothing is in color order. Obsessive compulsive? Maybe. But, it has helped keep my room clutter-free for the last 4 years. If I'm looking for my red halter top, I immediately go to the section of my closet where I keep my reds. This way, I won't be going through my closet and throwing clothes on the floor in attempts to find this one shirt. During attempts to find a shirt, I would throw my clothes on the floor and not pick them up again until my next laundry day (if even then). They'd get all dirty and wrinkled and I'd just have to wash them again. Now everything in my closet is easy to find.
I also have a wooden filing cabinet in my room to keep papers organized so they're not all over my floor.
My friends call me a neat freak but it took YEARS to get this way.
