About the mess in the room

Now what can you do about the mess in your room? Maybe you need to buy new drawers, bag holders, folders, boxes or pencil holders. The first step in organizing your room is cleaning it first. Your cluttered stuff should be kept in a box first. Then do your cleaning. Throw away things you won’t need (if you can, recycle them). Put displaced stuff where they belong. If you got lots of paper, sort them by their use. Then, according to the level of their importance, put them in separate folders or envelopes. Small stuff like buttons, batteries, paper clips and others can be tucked away in small boxes (keep same things together). Label them so that you can find what you are looking for fast. You can do the same for other items.

Once you have organized your room, make it a habit. Always put things you used where you got them. Then, be consistent on being organized!
