How Do You Clean Your Room?

I remember back in the day when my Mother would ask me to clean my room. It was as if it was the worst thing that could have possibly happened. The feeling of "being an adult" yet being told to clean my room was insulting. Looking back, I wish I would have known then what I know now - being organized is the s**t! Here are five easy steps you can take towards a clutter-free room:

  1.  The first thing that I do before I get ready for the day is make my bed. There are two reasons that I do this. One, it will immediately create a sense of calm in your room and two, if you accomplish nothing else that day, at least you made your bed. Either way, you're going to feel great after doing it!
  2.  Remove anything and everything that should not be in your room. For example, tableware, toilet paper, and your pizza from the night before should not be in your bedroom. Just keep in mind if there is something that normally belongs in another room you should probably return it.
  3. Is it laundry day? No, well too bad! Pick up and put dirty clothes where they belong. Fold and put away clean clothes. 
  4. Now that you have made your bed, removed everything that didn't belong and cleaned your clothes, you can straighten up. Put everything that belongs in your room in its proper place.
  5. Lastly, use a cleaner of your choice to wipe down all surfaces.
