stop throwing clothes on the floor

Whew! So I managed to find some time between smooches after all to clean my room and indeed the rest of the flat. You know, I think it’s good to let your room get messy occasionally – you need the satisfaction you get after cleaning it to make you feel good about yourself! A bit like the satisfaction I get from washing up, and yes I know that IS a weird thing to enjoy…

And i was doing so well! I blame the fact that one of my other goals – go on a date – recently became achieved, as I’m now seeing this guy and all my cleaning time is diverted to kissing him! Well, I’m sure I can get him to have a breather while I find the carpet again and pop the hoover round…

... is slow but steady. it’s been 4 days since I unpacked my suitcase and cleaned my room, and so far there’s only yesterday’s clothes on the floor, which after writing this entry am I now inclined to go home and put them away!
This goal is a great lesson in being strict with myself, which I think is actually the real goal here.

It’s the same old story – I tidy up, think “Well, now it’s tidy I won’t ruin it by throwing my clothes everywhere.” Then I go to bed, throw my socks in the corner. No problem. I can put them in the washing bin in the morning…

24 hours later it’s like I’ve been burgled. Oh well. Guess I’d better tidy up again…

I think I need to find a way of storing clothes that suits the way I use them. I like nomdeplume’s idea, maybe I can have my clothes in piles on the floor… and use the wardrobe/chest of drawers for general storage…
