How I did it: Finally, the last day of the three day long 1st of May holiday weekend, I kicked my self in the butt and organized my messy bedroom. Started with putting all strewn around clothes in to the closet. Continued with what felt like a hundred paper and plastic bags filled with various content after weekends away, and a sad break up (break?). Tidied up the dogs' baskets. Wiped off all surfaces (dusty!) and, last, but oh so not least, vacuumed!! Now my bedroom really is a room of peacce and quiet, and not complete angst.

Lessons & tips:

• start with putting all clothes away, it's usually mostly clothes that make a bedroom messy
• always put away things in their "final destination", don't stuff them in a drawer thinking you'll organize it later. You won't. Or maybe you will, but it will twice as long as if you did it at once.
• listen to the radio. A station with people talking, preferrably about current events. You're not just tidying, you might learn something too.
