Prioritise:
Take a step back and reaallly look at your room. Think of what you REALLY need and REALLY don't.
•
Get Ride Of Major Offenders First:
If it's clothes and shoes all over the floor, run and get the laundry basket, pile everything. Start with the big things and then work your way down to the smaller things.
•
Open Curtains And Windows:
Open all your curtains or blinds to let a lot of natural light in. Consider opening the windows to give yourself some fresh air. Letting lots of light into your room will keep your spirits up and give you energy.
•
Plan It Out:
Plan out everything you want to get cleaned, everything you want to donate, sell...
•
Make Your Bed:
Making your bed will give you the sensational feeling of having accomplished something already. It will also give you a flat surface to fold clothes and take breaks on. Think of your bed as you island of clean in your ocean of mess.
•
Put Objects In The Rightful Place:
Put everything that's on the floor away first. That way, you'll be able to get around your room without tripping over. The objects you put away don't have to be neat—simply put them where they belong. Start with the bigger things, like books and pillows, the move onto smaller things, like pencils and other stationary.
•
Clean Out Things From Under Your Bed:
Pull everything out from under your bed. You may be surprised to find just how much junk has accumulated there, much of which is probably stuff you thought you'd lost or may have forgotten about. Separate it into piles: trash, stuff to giveaway to charities, things to tell to second hand stores, stuff to give to your siblings (if you have any), or friends, stuff that belongs elsewhere, and stuff that stays in your room.
