Clean Room?

Question

I am doing a HUGE summer cleaning. I started today and knowing me I probably won't finish by tomorrow. I went to dollar shop and got some storage bins I already put to use and I also dusted and cleaned all my wood furniture. Now there are gigantic piles in my room and I don't know where to start! PLEASE HELP!!!! All answers are greatly appriciated! Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Get rid of all things that you are absolutely without a doubt aren't going to use again and that aren't sentimental first thing.  After that you will probably won't be overwhelmed.

Answer 2

When I do MAJOR housecleaning I always start with teh rooms nobody sees first. If I start in the others I don;t finish. This way, even if I'm running out of steam I still have to finish.

Answer 3

I always start with the hardest room first. Use a spot in the house to dump all the rubbish and that way you are able to move around the house freely.   I usually dump my rubbish near the door so that i can get rid of it ASAP. If you do the hard room first you will end up cleaning the whole house because after cleaning the hardest room ( you are so proud of yourself )  the others are pretty easy to clean.  Good luck!

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.
