I was wondering if there's a difference in the way Te users clean & organize things compared to Ti users (ex. cleaning their house). What do you guys think? Real life examples are welcome.

Ti cleaning style?
My cleaning style begins with a trash can. I like simple and clean. I don't like cleaning so I keep very little to make a mess.

Yeah... This seems to make a ton of sense, strategically placed containers. New plan in motion
One thing you may want to do (not that trashing things is a bad idea) is taking a laundry basket and putting eveything that needs to go elsewhere in it. Room to room and when you've finished you have relative clean and the things to put away in one place.

I have 4 tape.measures because I can't seem to keep track of them. So the more I have the easier to find one
I grew up in a very tidy house. My Mom used to vacuum twice a day. Dusted all the time. Laundry ... the machine never seemed to stop running. We could take a glass out of the cupboard, set it on the kitchen counter, turn around to get milk out of the fridge to pour some to drink and then wonder where the glass went. She had already put it in the dishwasher.
Sooooo, having grown up like that, I have a high guilt conscience for messiness. I can personally tolerate a lot, as I am just not wired to be neat - but imagining unexpected company seeing my house a mess does stress me out. So, I clean usually on Thursdays or Fridays and do a LOT in a whirlwind lasting about 3 - 4 hours. Trying to do a little bit each day? Too much to figure out and prioritize, aside from doing the dishes and general tidying of LR / kitchen in case someone pops over. So, the rest all gets done in a big burst, the house is tidy over the times it seems most important to be tidy, and everyone is relatively happy about that.
My technique is "pick up a thing, deal with the thing / see mess in one spot, clean up the one spot" - it means I'm not as efficient as I could be, but no strategy is needed, conserving my brain power for more important tasks.
Ha! I should add, if I am hosting dinner or having company for the holidays - it's like I have new eyes or something, I want the house to be perfect and alllll of a sudden, I can see every teeeny tiny thing that needs to get done! I'll definitely overdo it at those times, and tire myself out too!
