Answer 1

Here's a way that just might work for you:  Go to your room and "pack" a box of ONLY what it takes to get you through the next 3 days.  Be sure you have the clothes (and undies!) you'll need.  Then have lots of boxes and pack up EVERYTHING else.  Next, finish painting. It's going to be lots easier since you've basically "moved out".  Next, get your floor in pristine condition.  Then start unpacking all those boxes.

Organize as you unpack.  After only 3 days, you'll be amazed at the things you really can live without!  Have plenty of trash bags, and large boxes or tubs for give-aways/donations.  As you go, give every item a "home".  If you need more storage or organizing tools, this is the time to decide.

I know you said you're off tomorrow. . . but in reality, if the room is that bad, you'll need more time to complete it properly.  So carve out more time however you can.  Just make the commitment to have it gorgeous in ?? days.  And having everything packed should keep you motivated (if you ever want to see your stuff again!  [:) )  

Answer 2

I would start with organizing the room. Find a place for everything and put it there. Keep telling yourself "there is a place for everything". Then once you've done that cover everything with sheets then paint the room.

It's really not that hard to be organized once you have realized that there is a place for everything. I think with most messy people their trouble is where to put things. Get things like bins, hampers, totes, organizer carts, etc.  

Answer 3

Well, id start by putting anything that is blocking the floor (books, paper,etc) in a pile

Then get a trashcan in your room and put every single trash away. Trust me.

Put your CD's or DVD's in a CD case and put your game or video cases in a drawer.

Get something to drink and call your friend and listen to music for a little break.

By this point, depending on the size of the mess, you should be able to see the floor, so hang your clothes up and turn your TV on for motivation. It stimulates me in a way.

Do the last minute details and call the pizza guy and get some pizza for your reward.
