How do you tidy a very messy bedroom and keep it tidy?
Step one: The bed
Step two: The Laundry
Step three: The nightstand
Step four: Random stuff
Step five: Dressers and closets
Step six: Bookshelves
Step seven: computer desks
Step eight: The floor
This is a great plan for an organized room. Once you finish the
bed, remove any items and add them to your laundry pile, or your
dek to tidy later. The room will automatically look much tidier.
Sort your laundry into two piles: dirty, and clean. Put the dirty
clothes in the laundry basket and fold the clean clothes up to put
in your drawers. Don't organize your drawers yet, though. Clutter
tends to gather up on the nightstands. Organize these
things...where were they before? Throw as much out as possible.
Then, pick up random things from the floor and put them in they're
usual places. Dressers and clsets can be neatly organized, but make
sure everything is properly folded for the drawers. Make sure they
can close. Take random papers and other things from your
bbokshelves, and arrange the books by size, because it looks a lot
neater. My desk is the hardest part of my room. Papers, binders,
pens, and other random stuff seem to find there way to my desk. I
spand oodles of money on containers, organizers, binders, ect. and
they only add to the mess on my desk. I take all items off that
shouldn't be there. Then I sort through all binders and papers,
stacking them neatly up onto the desk. I make sure all paper is
either put in a binder or organizer. I collect all pens and put
them all in one container, making sure that they are all usable.
For the floor, roll up any carpet and pick up any clothes, pillows,
ect, that could be lying there. Sweep the whole floor, put down the
rug, and vaccuum that too. At the end, I pass everything over withe
a vacuum cleaner, or a duster, and wipe any surfaces with a cloth
to remove dust. Perfect!
