you can try rearranging the stuff that's already there
Yes! Categorizing + sorting by surface friction.

My house is a bit of a tip, but no old food or anything like that. I'm just a compulsive hoarder for electronics and turbine parts.
My limit is when I physically can't get into the office/my desk.
We have two dogs, so never-ending hair.
Two cats here. I'm amazed they have any fur left. Hair production must be why they eat so much cat food.

There is "MY" computer and "THEIR" computer. Keeps it nice and simple.
Anything that is shared like the media box has a Linux install with XBMC on it, so people won't know how to fuck with it. I am however the IT support. The Media box is an old Fedora with XBMC with a ton of python scripts sitting in the home directory. It hasn't been updated in years.

It's something that I had already done before.
I assumed. There are, nonetheless, endless variations. Grab a pile of relatively important papers and put them in her car, or hide them in a closet or something. For bonus points, when she asks where they are, tell her you took care of them or--and this is advanced--you put them where they belonged.

I'm guessing that you're single.

Married 24 years, actually. Being smart, I know how to push my wife's buttons lightly enough not to piss her off.

Ahhh, you married a pushover.

No, since I'm not an idiot, I tuned my behavior, with practice.
I think women probably feel like they need to be angry with their husbands from time to time. I figure I'm keeping the need from building up too much. Think of it as trying to produce [this response][1][0] instead of a more painful-to-me one.
[0]Dammit. I know there's a clip of a woman saying that, not a VO announcer, but I can't find it.

Headed that way. I was hoping to keep the number of "screens" in the house down so that some non-IT play would occur. But...
- That has failed. #screens > #n(family)
- The schools are pushing online content, so the need for at least one working PC is greater
Maybe I'll get my HW guy to upgrade an old case with tons of RAM and an SSD, but duct-tape the case together... ;)

Between tablets, TVs, and monitors, my wife and I have 7 screens...

For my family, we have 7
- 2 TVs
- 2 desktop monitors
- 2 tablets
- 1 laptop

I've bought my father and my mother an iPad because while it isn't trouble free ... it pretty much manages itself.
For younger relatives (my step siblings or my actual brother and sister) I tell them exactly what to do and exactly what free alternatives they should use if they are using Windows. I don't want them to suffer Linux.
