How to Keep Your Room Clean Even when You’re So Busy

from wikiHow – The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Are you really busy all the time? And just don’t have time to throw that pair of socks in the laundry hamper? Well, there is a simple, easy way to do this, WITHOUT a maid!

Steps

Start off by making some notes to stick on doors. These will help you remember until it becomes part of your routine! They should say something like “Remember your room” or “Clean up” or simply “room”. place these in places you look at often, wether its your Shower, Front door, or even your computer, this should remind you to clean your room (once this becomes a habit you should take them down!) I suggest putting one on your bedroom door, on the inside, so before you leave you will see it.
Wake up earlier. This way you have time to pick up your room, if you’re like most people, you have a busy schedule and you barely have time to eat breakfast let alone clean up your room! Now, if you prefer to clean your room at night time, waking up earlier can help still, get up five minutes earlier, go to work five minutes earlier, go to the business dinner 5 minutes earlier, brush your teeth five minutes earlier, and the extra five minutes, clean your room. Now, if you prefer to clean in the morning, wake up and GET READY FIRST! Because, most likely you will make a mess while you’re doing your hair or finding the right shirt. Afterwards clean up, and after you’re gone all day, you can go straight to bed!
Now, We will show you WHAT to do when you clean up! Start with picking up everything on the floor and putting it on your bed (this shouldn’t be much) take one thing and put it away, then come back for another, keep doing this until there is nothing left. That took 2 minutes, now do the same on any other surfaces (desk, bookshelves, vanity, dresser, couch etc) until that is done, that took 1 minute. Now, make your bed, pull up the sheets and blanket until its nice and straight, then put you pillows and any other stuffed animals or eye-masks up so that they look nice and neat, That took 1 minute. Now, clean up anything else in your room and spray with a good deodorizer. That took 1 minute, altogether that took 5 minutes.
Keep it up! There are no excuses!
After a while this should be part of your routine. After you start remembering on your own without those papers, and when you’re used to getting up a little earlier, you won’t feel nervous to invite a guest into your room, and you won’t feel like you need to hire a maid!

Tips

take down the notes after its in you routine or its a habit

Things You’ll Need
