help staying organized

Ok so as you can guess from the title I need help staying organized. So recently over the past year i’ve had trouble with staying organized. So basically I can be organized for a few days but then I just leave everything everywhere. I don’t know why but I just can’t be organized. I can’t really put my stuff anywhere because then my mom starts complaining about how I cant put it there or how I don’t need things or that some of the stuff I have is trash but I have them for a reason. She’s always moving my stuff and she always says “Well if you were more organized I would t have to move your stuff.” and I’m like well its my stuff so I don’t understand why you are moving it then she usually says “I don’t understand why I have to tell you and pick up things for you. You’re like a tornado, everywhere you go you leave a mess.” And like I said it’s my stuff so she doesn’t have to pick it up for me. Ive told her I’m sorry and stuff and that I don’t understand why I can’t be organized and she says well it sounds like it’s your problem. And I genuinely want to be organized cause I don’t like it when I have a mess and then I get overwhelmed with stuff like school and other things which makes me not want to clean up. So yeah. If you have any ideas on how I could be more organized please let me know.

I have the same problem maybe start with just like 10-20mins a day just pick up random things, you can start with like your desk and then your floor or chairs (idk how your room looks so just options) but I know how hard it is, you also may just be someone that needs more containers to hold stuff in?

cause honestly I do think I need more containers but then my mom is gonna complain that I have too many containers and stuff that I don’t need but then if I complaint to her about having a mess she gets all defensive and stuff. So apparently it’s wrong if I do something but if she does it its ok because shes and adult and shes my mom and I have to respect her.
