Take a look at how I have helped a busy family get the toys under control in this article from
"The Washington Post©" -
So Many Toys, So Little Order (2009). One tip:
"Evaluate the piles and give away or store else where things the kids don't play
with anymore. Then each remaining pile goes into its own labeled bin or box, and those go on shelves, or if there is space, on the
floor along the edges of the room."

I'm also the most frequently mentioned expert and most quoted Organizer in Jeff Bredenberg's popular
How to Cheat at Cleaning (2007). One example:
"Each person in the house should have a personal staging area or 'launch pad' where purse, briefcase, cell
phone, PDA, and keys for each family member are stored visibly, ready to be taken out the door. "Kids need launch
pads, too" for book bags and shoes.” (p. 34)
