organize my room

well i don’t no but i am going to try it out and let us see how it works out.

Apparently I don’t have time for the simplest things anymore. Or I don’t have the energy perhaps. Time is slipping away out of my hands and I end up at night feeling guilty for not taking a stronger grasp of it. Meanwhile things keep accumulating, one on top of the other and they refuse to take their place until I place them there.

As everything else, there’s no magical way to make it all ok, so it needs to be one step at a time. Sighs

This weekend. Really.

I did this yersterday but am not 100% completed yet.

I secretly hate coming home because the room I rent is a disaster! It really is the worst/messiest room I’ve ever had in my entire life. Most likely due to the following reasons:

A. I’m lazy- never put away my clothes/papers/books/make up, leave everything in heaps/scattered on every flat surface (bed/desk/ floor/bed)
B. The room is really SMALL! I have a twin size bed on one side, a full size desk on the other side and there isn’t even enough space between them to do the splits. so sad =(

I really want to move into a bigger place but I still need to clean up this place first! Can’t show it if it’s a great big jumble of my belongings.

So TODAY I am CLEANING MY ROOM!
A. Laundry- washing everything (clothes/bed linen/towels) since I don’t know what’s clean and what’s not since everything is in a huge heap on the floor. Putting my fresh clothes/linens in their proper place- my closet!
B. Vacuuming the carpet
C. Dusting my desk/shelves/blinds- yay for lavender scented swifter cloths! If I get really ambitious I may even wipe down my walls…
D. Throwing out all the junk/trash/old stuff
E. Moving my toiletries to their proper homes in the bathroom!
F. Going through all my school work/supplies/etc

I’m off from work today so this is going to get done! I refuse to leave the house before this is complete. I’m already excited to finish this and begin enjoying a super clean/fresh smelling/slightly more spacious room =)

It was very hard to start with but it got easier. first you have to scoop up all the stuff on the floor onto your bed. then vacum. Once you’ve done that put away in their proper places all the stuff that you put onto the bed. Then make the bed. pick up all the stray CDS and put them in a draw. Any art stuff put in with the CDS. Just quickly sweep all the trash in a trash can. See? it doesn’t sound too hard but its quite tiring!

So here’s the deal: I moved into my apartment April 1st 2008. It was mid-semester, and hubby and I are busy people. To make a long story short, over the past year we’ve slowly gotten everything together in this house except for the bedroom, which has become just a place for sleeping and storing boxes and other crap that we can’t figure out what to do with.

Today was the first day that I’ve really done any work on it. I took out several bags of trash, made a bag of stuff for goodwill, and unpacked the last of the moving stuff (only 1 year later! I suck).

On my next cleaning days I want to accomplish the following:
- give more stuff to goodwill
- make room in my closet for blankets and pillows
- clear off my headboard
- organize my bookshelf and my instruments
- start hanging things on the walls!

I ‘ve been doing a lot of progress on this goal. I still need to have a files system to defeat the paper monster in my room.

this will be done at the beginning of next week in march actually when i move, cant wait

My room is so small! Its impossible. Its like the size of a cubicle i swear, and has a double bed, double wardrobe and a guinea pig cage in it.

I just would like to be able to go in there to listen to music, watch TV, play on xbox etc rather than just storing crap in it and sleeping.

So, it really needs organising.
