Keep my bedroom clean and organized

one day i got really depressed and decided that i would stay in my room all week. I did what i said i would do but while i was in there i cleaned my room. Ever since i cleaned my room i realized all the many great things that are easier and more fun to do in my room that werent quite as possible before i cleaned my room. First of all under my bed… the best place to daydream, write, plan, or to hide from people who think your to big to be under the bed. Ha Ha on them. You can also have more friends over more often and boys. you can have boys over without freaking out about what they might see in your messy room and what they’ll think about it. You can also have parties and many more wild things. It’s not that hard to accomplish either. All that’s necessary is that you clean up the major messes you make A.S.A.P and all the little messes you deal with along the way to the big messes. so little by little the job gets done. i even danced while i cleaned.

I’ve managed to clean it in a few hours. Mostly just laundry scattered around. I can already feel a difference in my attitude and motivation. On the downside when I went out to the bars for New Year’s Eve my housemates threw a kegger and I’ve never seen the house this destroyed. At least I can hang out in my space and breathe!

Now to keep my environment uncluttered.

The real challenge begins.

Well, I still haven’t made a concerted effort to clean my room… I’m just feeling pretty depressed and am indifferent about most things. It’ll happen soon enough, but I think I’d like to go out and drink with my buddies instead of clean it tonight… I’ll have all weekend to anyhow.

A lot happens in my bedroom! I frequently use it to sleep, entertain, listen to music and even study. However I do notice a vast difference in my attitude when it is clean.

I feel more relaxed and comfortable with less stress when it is clean. If I’m entertaining the ladies, they sure notice a clean and cozy room. When I’m studying I notice that less clutter helps me maintain my focus on the task at hand. Knowing all of this, why do I let it go consistently?

Habit.

Time to start breaking it.

Now let’s see how long can I keep it before I consider it done!

Last weekend I got the walls of my bedroom painted and took advantage of it being empty for cleaning it.

The desk and the bedside table are organized, as well as the books and the DVDs. Now I have to organize the inside of the closet. Still some work to do before I consider it finished.

Next Wednesday I’ll take two weeks off from work. This is when I intend on organizing everything to start keeping it like that for the rest of my life!
