Cleaning room?

Question

I really wanna clean my room but i can't cause I always get distracted and my room has been messy since June 3rd

Answer 1

Take one day to clean your entire room so it won't get so out of hand. Therefore in the future cleaning it won't be so bad.

Answer 2

Use a timer.  Mentally divide your room up into sections and set a timer for only 5 minutes per section.  Do as much as you can in that five minutes.  Move on to the next section, don't get stuck, just rotate until you are satisfied with the results.

Answer 3

Try starting early in the morning.  Start in one area and work your way through the whole room.  Play music to entertain yourself while you work.

Answer 4

Try a section at a time, so you don't feel trapped.  For instance straighten the desk for a half hour or put the cds in order.  Play your favorite music and relax.  After you do a task, reward yourself with something.

Answer 5

Cleaning is one of those chores that's easy to continuously put off. Unfortunately, if you put it off too long, you may find little creatures have begun to inhabit the room. If a personal house cleaner isn't an option, use these tips to get motivated to clean your room.

Step1

Make a plan for cleaning your room, writing down everything that needs cleaning and include things that you put off for years. Pretend that you will give these detailed instructions to a cleaning service.

Step2

Break the plan up into sections that work with your schedule. Often one of the toughest obstacles to overcome in cleaning is feeling overwhelmed by the amount of work there is. Looking at the project in sections makes the task seem more doable and helps you feel motivated taking on one project at a time.

Step3

Schedule several appointments for yourself, just like you schedule a dental appointment. These non-negotiable appointments require your time and attention and are just as important as any other appointment on your calendar.

Step4

Turn on some upbeat music, turn off the ringer to your phone and keep away from any distractions like television or visitors. Try using headphones with your MP3 player, which helps block out any distractions.

Step5

Set a timer for 20 minutes and tackle the first project. Although the project may take several hours like cleaning out a closet, 20 minutes of straight working is great. Reward yourself with a five-minute break, and then set your timer again for another 20 minutes of work.

Step6

Tackle clutter and overstuffed closets with the three-pile rule. One pile is things to toss out, one is to give away to charity and the final one is what you keep. Enlist the help of a trusted friend and try on all of your clothes, asking their opinion on how it makes you look. If you are unsure, always put it in the give away pile and keep only things that make you feel fabulous.

Step7

Look at your progress in terms of the sections you complete. Although it may take a weekend or two to finish the entire project, seeing a list of what you accomplish is a great way to feel motivated and keep going.

GOOD LUCK !

Answer 6

I had something like this and I also asked on Yahoo!Xtra well, and this is what I did:

FIRST plan a whole day just for cleaning. Then on that day start with ONE part of your room, like ur desk.Take everything out and put them in piles like:

-Important Stuff

-Throw away stuff

-Maybe gonna use stuff

or more. then after you are done organizing the stuff into piles. Put the important stuff on your desk and the other stuff, example: in your ckupboard

Sometimes you can get distracted so before you clean, lock the door into your room so noone can come in, maybe turn on some music if it will help. After your done cleaning the room, everytime before going to sleep, take about 10 to 15 minutes to clean your room so it looks nice. THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING NOW!!! It will help! GOOD LUCK! HOPE I HELPED A BIT!

Hi Cellochic,

You've got some good advice here, but much of it projects the cleaning into the future somewhere, after a planning process.  Why not get off the computer right now and make a start.  In three hours, it could look fantastic.
