How to clean my room by _GreenLantern_

"Spent a few hours dumping out everything from my drawers, organizing, and throwing out what I no longer needed for a cleaner room."

How I did it: I'm a messy person, but I've always thought of myself as an organized kind of messy. Sure it may have looked like a tornado specifically targeted my room to the untrained eye, but I knew exactly where everything was. However, it got really bad at one point. I could no longer see the floor and it was difficult to sleep in my bed because I had thrown things on there as well.

I was getting tired of it so one day, when I had nothing to do, I threw everything on the floor, including clothes and things in the drawers. I put everything into organized piles. It took a few hours, but after that I placed all the organized piles into the drawers, closets, and other areas I wanted them to be. Everything else went to the trash, was recycled, or donated to charity.

Lessons & tips:

  • Putting things into organized piles help.
  • Cleaning and organizing is actually semi-entertaining if you are suffering from utter boredom.

Me too

I also suffer from a sort of organized chaos in my room, my car and my purse. I keep telling myself one day I’ll clean them all out… and as far as the purse goes, I usually do about once a month. The car and the room however… well… I can still see the floor (in both) but other than that…. Perhaps I should take a day out to spend cleaning out the masses of mountains that have risen in my room and the tangled mess that lives in the my car’s backseat.

Christin3 stressed but having a good time!

I've found a kindred spirit!!

I don’t really care how messy it gets during the schoolyear, as long as I know where everything is…but really, it’s pretty rediculous now! Yay for you! Now I’ll go do my best :)

Quizman1967 is feeling very silly for almost giving up his voluntary job at Oxfam.

Now it's my turn!

After reading how you managed to clean your room I will give myself a bit of “me time” to get my whole HOUSE tidied!
