How to get, and keep your room organised
Why does my room keep getting this messy?!? We have some answers for you! Plus a few tips to enable you to keep your room tidy and organised at all times!
Since the beginning of time, people have wondered how to create such skills in which they are able to keep things in place, or a least a little tidy. This is a tough challenge, but one which pays off over time. So? Do you think you would like to be challenged? Because the daily results are worth it. Here you have a few tips, on how to get, and keep your room organised!
1. When tidying up, make piles
Yes, I admit, it sounds a bit weird, but this will actually help you get a clear overview of the stuff that you have in your room. Say, you need to clean your room and it somehow looks a bit like the picture above, making piles of books, clothes and random paper could indicate where in your room you need the piles to be and what objects belong with each other.
2. Assign fixed spots for your stuff
Especially if you tend to dislocate much of your stuff, giving them fixed places will help you not overseeing them next time. Put those keys in a bowl somewhere, and those coins might have a better chance at not being robbed by mean little siblings elsewhere! Get in the habit of storing all of your stuff where it belongs!
3. Put unwanted items somewhere else
If something is unflattering and unessential to your room, why keep it in there? It could leave your room looking cluttered, and you might even make someone else happy with it. Your sibling might need something you don't, or the hallway could use that little touch of you...
4. Put some items in other containers
Specifically when you have many small items such as pens and earphones, it might be handy to put them somewhere they can fall out of, or suddenly get lost. Put your writing tools in a basket or bowl, and try to put those earphones somewhere they can't tangle, again!
5. Manage. Your. Laundry.
The impossible. But it has been done before, so here goes. What probably makes your room messy is laundry or just clothes lying here and lying there. The most time-sparing fix? Every time you know something is laundry, or when you don't bother to pick up that fallen t-shirt throw it in a corner if you don't have time, but as soon as you find yourself with free time, or just doing nothing, make yourself sort out what you can still wear, and what is laundry. Toss the laundry to the laundry room and fold the clothing you're still going to wear.
