How to Tidy up One’s Bedroom

    “Oh, why is your room always in a mess? ” This is a common question asked by many parents to their children. Many of my friends share the same experience in their childhoods, however, I myself have never met such a problem. Luckily to say, I have passion and my own ways to keep my room always in tidy since I was still a kindergartner. That is to say, how to tidy up our bedroom is not as hard as we think, and it also does us good after going through all these processes.

​    First of all, we should look around the room we live in and check if there is anything we do not really need or even should not exist in our room, such as, some package of yesterday’s breakfast or the pen which has run out of ink. The reason why many people’s bedrooms are totally a mess is that they cannot tell the difference between the things they need and they want. Through this step, we will find that lots of things in our bedroom are too old to be used or meaningless. 

    Secondly, we could remove everything from the desk, the bookcases, the wardrobes, etc, to the ground, so that we can double check and throw away the things we do not really need them at all. Also, the importance of this step is that we can know how many places in our room can be well-used to store things, and we can group these personal belongings into several groups, such as putting lotion in the cosmetic area and paper clips in the office stationary area, which we can find things easily after tidying up our messy room.

    Throw away things which we have decided to say farewell, wipe out all the dust and kill some book-louses, and put things back to the places they should be after making sure that all the places in our room have been dry. Besides, as for those things that are still fine but we will not use them again, we can package them up and contribute them to some specific associations which need these supplies, in order to create a win-win situation to both the associations and the cleaning of our room without wasting any of them.

    With these three easy steps, not only can we avoid the blame from our parents, but we can also make our life quality increased. After all, people will be more likely to stay in a bright and clean hotel-like room than a messy one. In a nutshell, with countless advantages of tidying up our room, I think it will be more attractive to those who don’t really want to move themselves an inch in their messy room, and they can find some interests through the process.
