clean my room

I need to do an extremely thorough job of this.

It’s out of control right now.

My room is a complete mess and I have no time to clean it. Well, I guess I do have time to tidy up a little but I haven’t had the motivation to get started. This goal is long overdue.

my room is small. and i mean, SMALL. often refered to as a “box room,” it’s where i horde all my belongings. it’s about 6’x8’. yeah, it’s tiny. most of my stuff ends up under my bed, which has “lots” of space underneath it.

every now and then – since my room is significantly smaller than a prison cell – things start getting lost and everything gets pretty messy. so, every year or so, i have a cleanout and tidy my room up. but i haven’t done this for about 2 years, and it’s starting to get messy again.

(still awake? good.)

but since there’s so little space in my room (oh, the irony. who dubbed it a “room” anyway? there IS no room!) it takes about 2 or 3 days before i tidy it all up nicely. it’s just an awful lot of hassle. i hope to get round to it one day though.

Well, first of all I didn’t quite hit my goal for the stuff beside the bed, although I did get a good bit of it cleaned.

Now I’m moving out of this place in November, and my landlord/roommate would like to show the place off to new prospective tenants. So I need to get my room clean.

This sounds trivial and pathetic—I mean, am I 12 or something? But ADHD makes it very hard to focus on a task that frankly isn’t interesting enough to hold my attention, although it needs to be done.

I’m trying to sort out this mess of papers in my floor while playing a couple of online poker tournaments. So far so good—tournaments have enough downtime between folding hands for me to think about how I’m going to handle the next bit of cleaning.

Out of desperation, I think I’ll buy some boxes and label them “MISC IMPORTANT”, “MISC UNIMPORTANT”, and other topical sorting categories.

So far just cleaning out the “no brainer” trash.

Clothes are everywhere. I need to do laundry. I also need to get rid of all fast food containers/cups…and put everything where it belongs. MUCH easier said than done :(

Over Fall Break 2009 I made progress in doing this.

I actually started this a few months ago and then uni went back for second semester and the cleaning stopped. Thankfully things have stayed close to how they were when I stopped cleaning rather than reverting to what they were before that but uni is finished for the Summer (I’m Australian so we’re heading for Summer here) and I have until March to get my room tidy. And, seriously, that’s the limit because I’m getting married in June and therefore moving out of this house and in with my husband so it must be done before uni so that I don’t have to do it when moving.
... I hate mess!...

summer is over. it is october. and i haven’t cleaned my room. it’s a mess and i hate it this way but i dont have the time, motivation or energy to tidy it.

i need to clear out all my old childhood toys, clothes that dont fit or i dont wear and just all the random cluter i keep.

=[ im not giving up….

....just procrastinating some more…..

I put all of my school stuff away and picked up my belts. I also folded my clothes, but I haven’t put thm away yet. 4 of my belts I put in a bag to give to my friend, August. I gotta go buy some cleaning supplies. Bye.

all my crap from wv is unpacked… got rid of 75% of the stuff that was taking up so much room. cleared out the closet. vaccuumed. cleaned the littler boxes.

still need to
*go through all my books
*clean all my laundry
