how to organize your room and keep it that way

a lot of people think of their rooms as just a place to dump stuff, but that's not the case! so here are a few tips on how to keep your room clean. it's not just for super organized people either; these are things anyone can do.

-have a dump bin

have a place to throw things like clothes/extra items you have/anything you want to put away in the moment but will put away later. this keeps stuff off of your floor.

-sleep on top of your covers

put a blanket at the bottom of your bed instead and use that. this is so you don't have to make your bed every single morning to keep it looking decent.

-have a place to put all your papers

have a spot to put school notes, receipts, volunteer forms, coupons, anything you want to keep in a safe spot. it's hard to organize papers if you don't have a place to put them! you can get some cute dividers from staples/walmart/target, wherever. hanging folders also help keep things tidy.

-have garbage/recycling bins

kind of an uncommon tip, but yeah. bigger ones work better because they can hold more before you have to empty them. not huge but big enough so that you don't have to empty them all the time. set a time to empty the bins so it doesn't just accumulate and it looks nicer.

-use under-bed storage

this one is super important! have a bunch of bins/bags under your bed if you can to hold things you want to keep but don't know where to put. like extra bags/makeup etc.

-group "like" items

if you have drawers/bins, have a different category for each drawer/bin. plastic bins with different compartments like from walmart or ikea work really well for this.

-use hangers

this helps you avoid just throwing clothes on your floor or bed. you just hang whatever it is up and deal with it later (more on that in a sec). this works for bags too!

-purge regularly

dedicate some time each week to cleaning out your dump bin and putting stuff on your hangers away. set a reminder on your phone or put it in your planner to remember.

Absolutely no one asked, but I have something to say

I have seen so many posts on this website about how it’s hard, impossible even, to keep a clean room/house, so I have 3 hopefully helpful tips to offer from a fellow mentally ill person!

Number one: tackle it in sections. Instead of thinking about it as one large space that seems endless, tidy your desk. make your bed. put your shoes away. do the smallest tasks, take a break in between, don’t beat yourself up for not being able to organize an entire room in one go. anything is better than nothing <3

Number two: condense your area! when you get to a disaster zone, put it all in one giant pile in the middle of your space. this helps me for two reasons, one is that you can see everything you need to do so its less likely you will find things shoved in nooks and crannies later on. the second reason is that it motivates (at least me lol) to get it over with because at a certain point it becomes obnoxious to look at/step over

Number three: get rid of things you dont use!!! this one has definitely been preached from the rooftops by everyone on the internet and their grandmother, but it really does help. i like to have a consistent goodwill/give away bag where I put stuff i realize i dont use anymore.

obviously there is no one-size-fits-all template for everyone, but these are the tips that help me and I hope they can help you too. Do as much or as little as you can manage, have a good night loves

I’m just a girl YOU DONT UNDERSTAND !!!

When the depressive episodes starts to fade >

[littleladykae]

I'm finally rested and recovered from covid and can proudly say after 4½ years I have my room back! While it was originally mine, while I was gone it was being used by a family friend in need for some time until they found their new home. It makes me so happy to have my own space that I can make my own and fill with lots of new memories!

Alright I finished cleaning my room (no pics, cause I have a lot of stuff that has my real name on the walls (awards) and pictures of me and my niece)

I’ll do the clothes tmrw when I get home from school, before I make another frog

is your room clean?

she asks, “did you make your bed?”  and i don’t know what to say   when the sheets are pulled tight  but i still taste tears from last night. 

she asks, “did you shower?”  and i don’t know what to say  when i scrubbed the soap to a sliver  but his touch stays beyond the its reach. 

she asks, “did you brush your teeth?”  and i don’t know what to say   when i brushed until i bled  but my mouth still tastes sour. 

she asks, “did you wash your face?”  and i don’t know what to say   when my acne’s disappeared,  but the tear tracks are red. 

she asks, “is your room clean?”  and i don’t know what to say  when my clothes are off the floor,  and my sink’s not clogged with hair,  but there are cobwebs in the corner  from senior prom last year. 

so i say  “yes”  and i say  “but”  and i ask  “do you think a girl with a messy room is still lovable?”

︵‿︵‿୨ a guide to cleaning your room ୧‿︵‿︵

start by gathering your supplies. you'll need a trash bag or bin for garbage, a laundry basket for dirty clothes, and any cleaning products or tools you prefer to use.

declutter surfaces. begin by clearing off any clutter from your surfaces, such as desks, dressers, and nightstands. put away items that belong elsewhere and discard any trash or items you no longer need.

make your bed. straightening your bed instantly makes the room look tidier and can help set a productive tone for the rest of your cleaning session.

tackle the floors. gather up any dirty laundry and place it in your laundry basket. then, use a vacuum or broom to clean the floors, paying special attention to corners and under furniture.

dust surfaces. use a microfiber cloth or duster to wipe down surfaces, including furniture, shelves, and baseboards. don't forget to dust any decorations or knick-knacks as well.

organize belongings. take a few moments to organize your belongings and put them back in their designated places. this can include folding clothes, arranging books, and sorting through miscellaneous items.

freshen up. if desired, spray a room freshener or light a scented candle to add a pleasant fragrance to your space.

admire your work. take a step back and admire your clean and tidy room. appreciate the effort you've put in to create a peaceful and organized space for yourself.

remember, cleaning your room doesn't have to be perfect—just do what you can and celebrate your progress. by breaking the task down into smaller steps and tackling them one at a time, you can make cleaning your room feel more manageable and even enjoyable.

I have to tidy up my room, which means we're busting out the big guns™

(the big guns are Monster Energy[mango loco this time], my favourite fragrance in my entire arsenal of smells[coconut], and m u s i c)

(and the promise of a usable desk but that's less compelling)
