How to keep my room clean
It made me
Relieved 
"Much Better..."
How I did it: I took an entire day and dedicated it to cleaning my room. I know a whole day seems like a lot, but for me (I'm easily distracted...), it takes that long. I organized my stuff, got rid of some stuff, packed stuff I won't need 'til I move, dusted and vacuumed. After that was (finally) complete, immediately the cloud of stress involved in my messy room vanished. I've been keeping my room and closet up; that includes dusting, vacuuming, hangin up clothes, doing laundry, putting away a dvd right after watching it, making my bed... all that stuff. I'm proud that after 17 years of messy rooms, mine is finally clean. ^_^
AND, I don't have to worry that my room might not be clean when someone comes over.
Lessons & tips:
-If you have a problem with leaving dishes in your room, don't eat in there.
-If you have a problem with dirty laundry build-up, make a laundry day and stick to it.
-If you have a problem with clean laundry build-up, fold and put away IMMEDIATELY. This goes along with your laundry day: make sure you choose a day you won't be too busy to put away clothes.
-Throw trash INTO the garbage, NOT ON THE FLOOR.
-Making your bed in the morning helps a lot. It gives you a clean sense, making you want to keep everything else clean.
-Candles. Making your room smell awesome makes you want to keep it clean to... at least for me :P
