  • Answer:

    Group your stuff together in categories. All music goes in one area, for example. Put things where you use them. If you always use something every night at your bedside table, just store it there; don't fight it and try to make it belong across the room on a shelf. You may find it helpful to get a labeler and label certain areas, so you remember what goes where. Some people like see-through containers so they can remember what's in them; some people like decorative containers that hide their contents; it's a matter of preference. Which do you think will work best for you? Get rid of stuff you no longer use. Make room for all the new and good things to flow into your life. Just because an object is perfectly good doesn't mean it's good FOR YOU; feel free to release items to new homes where they will be used and appreciated. You are more important than your stuff. Write down what cleaning should be done and schedule when you plan to do it. Maybe you'd prefer to do a little every day, or maybe you'd rather get it over with all at once. Just remember to do it! Pick up on a daily basis. Get in the habit of putting things away as soon as you're done with them, and make sure every item has a home--a place where it consistently belongs. If it doesn't, invent one! You can always change it later if you decide that storage location isn't working. The important thing is to get in the habit of designating a home for each item, and returning it there when you're finished with it. If you have cable t.v., you might also get ideas from shows like "Mission: Organization," "Neat," "Clean Sweep," and "Clean House."

My room is a mess, but the best ways to hide the mess is closets. I can hide some of the mess. The best way to clean the room is by listening to music. Any music will do if it doesn't have a slow tempo! :}

One you must find an organizing system that works for you. check out books on how to organize with your library or bookstore. Department stores Like Target have ideas, or check with local hardware store like Lowes or Home Depot if your parents can help you out on that end. Find your creative style or what you like that will help you clean up and get organized. You need to make time to clean it and organizing in a way that helps you find it all helps out.

Just go through everything at once . Clean everything up, and then once thats all done whenever you take something out or use something, instead of leaving it out, put it away. Its the simplest way to keep things clean, and the easiest way in the long run.

hey joeeeee!!! well i found over the years you have to do one section at a time whether you clean in a whole day or divided in sections of the day but usually a busy teen like you would probably depending if you have activities or not. I recommend doing it in sections like for instance if you would like to clean your closet first, then under or around your bed put everything on top of your bed then when its clean around your section that you have started then put away everything where you want it and the rest put it away. YOu can find pretty box organizers sometimes a thrift store would have great deals or walmart kmart or where you like to shop but this usually works to clean a room--good luck!! heheh-linda

Well, I know 1 way that I try to keep my room clean is by buying storage bins. If you have a crawlspace you could put all of the stuff that you have in your room in the storage bins and then put them down in the crawlspace. I have about 6 storage bins for many of my collections that I've accumulated over the years. Don't worry...nothing will happen to the things in the bins. As long as there are no holes at the bottom of the bins all of your possessions will be safe. You can usually find them at Menards, Target, Walmart, Home Depot, Office Max.
