Day 10: Clean up your bedroom

August 3, 2009

in Home Organisation

Welcome back!

Same supplies, same rules, different room.

Today we are going to be cleaning your bedroom.  This will fulfill three purposes:

  1. Your mum we be happy
  2. You will be organized
  3. You will be happy

Did you notice I think it is more important for your mom to be happy before you?  The key to a successful teenage life is to keep your parents happy.  Trust me, I’m a mum too.

Anyway, back to the cleaning.

Supply list

  • 3 boxes / shoe boxes / crates / laundry basket – anything to help sort your stuff
  • 2 garbage bags
  • Pen and paper
  • Cleaning equipment – dust rag

Clean Up Rules

  1. Follow a pattern – start from one side of the room, and go around the room, start from top drawer and go down
  2. Make a decision about everything you touch
  3. Sorting boxes:  Box 1 – to keep in this room, Box 2 – belongs in another room, Box 3 – I don’t even know what to do with it
  4. Rubbish Bags – for broken pens, old papers etc
  5. Pen and Paper – Mind Dump as you clean, you may think of things you need to do or buy

Common Places to clean

  • Bed – change sheets, under bed
  • Cupboards – pull out one drawer at a time,
  • Bed side table – this is the danger area, common place to put anything and everything.

Enjoy!
