How to ACTUALLY Clean Your Room - Step By Step

[@Simon1985_]

Being overwhelmed about where to start is usually the thing that keeps most people from tidying up.

[@milesmansfield115]

Correct. I walk in circles, throw out a bit of trash, and then sit down and distract myself. I'm going to follow this right now and update how it went. ✨️

[@Leafygreens48]

@@milesmansfield115 how did it go

[@milesmansfield115]

@Leafygreens48 LMAO of course I forgot to update. It actually worked! Ended up cleaning out my closet as well and donated some clothes that haven't fit in ages 😝 10/10 recommend this method.

[@ZeroBudgetGuide]

@@milesmansfield115 the best way to stop this is to work in layers. By this I mean tasks I usually start with garbage first, then I do clothes, then organize, then clean floors and sheets. Works all the time so you’re never overwhelmed. Ignore *EVERYTHING* else and work in layers

I go through waves of depression and just plain out laziness. Thank you for helping us that are finding it difficult to be motivated.

[@Bald-American-Idiot]

Start with ONE NON NEGOTIABLE, and make it this. Gaze at the sunrise. Once you begin doing that everyday your energy will bloom

When you have depression, your inability to executively function is surely due to depression and not laziness.

3 hours???!! damn my guests are coming in an hour

[@TheOfficialKiwiCult]

I was amazed by the results of following the tips from this video. My room looked like a mess before, but now it is neat and organized. I learned how to declutter, sort, and store my belongings in a way that makes sense and saves space. I feel more relaxed and productive in my clean environment. This video was very helpful and informative.

[@xAdypt]

For anyone feeling slightly disparaged because they had to look this up, just know that looking into how to do something you were never actually taught does not make you "bad" - It shows growth and a drive to be better. Clean your room! Then feel good about it 👍 you earned it

[@dylandreisbach1986]

As someone who kept a tortilla and a chip in a photo binder as a kid because I liked the shapes, I really struggle throwing away anything. Improving slightly but man it will take a lot of work to get use to getting rid of stuff.

[@Widdekuu91]

It helped me to find a place for items that I feel need recognition and need to be loved. I donated materials to a craftingplace and I traded a lot. That helped me as well, since I gathered a box full of items I no longer wanted and got (for example) a nice pair of jeans in return from someone.

[@SajanRawal]

[@chrispewkreme]

Using your bed to organize is a huge tip. Also, I like to use boxes to categorize things. I have a bunch of random camera things or dirt bike parts. My tip is to use a small box and fill it with like items. Once it’s full, you can get a bigger box and put everything in it or get another box. You can then set the box aside with a label and stack them as needed. You can eventually figure out where to put them or organize later on. But this at least gets it out of the way and stacking the box will make lots of room to continue cleaning.

[@joygoncalves4917]

I LOVE this idea.

[@just_ise4418]

It's the quiet desperation for me... And it really reminds me that it's all more effective if you get excited and tie the accountability into something else that major, but not life shattering. We're witnessing strategy. Great example.

[@alexcalderon7650]

It’s been at least one month since I’ve seen this video. I’m watching it again sitting in my clean room and I have come to the conclusion that for the first time in my life I have almost all the steps done already and I have stayed consistent throughout the month. I barely have to do any of the steps now and I’ve improved so much. This helped me a lot. Thank you.

Groovy dude. 1.) Everyone has something they can offer the world. You'd think maintain a room or house would be easy, but life is disorganized at times. 2. And 3.) You helped me not feel so inept as it's part of the human condition (general maintenance..lacking may be part of the depression loop.) 3.) Having accountability partners. That's one to practice caution with, some will make you default, projecting doubts. 4.) You got this dude! Thanks for the help, gonna wash some clothes now lol.

@@turttell2736 Yeah brother it does. “Time heals all wounds” is legit. BUT, you can speed the process up exponentially if you: Find gratitude for the good things you got out of the marriage. Own your part in its dysfunction. For give yourself for your shortcomings. And FORGIVE HER and wish her the best-even if you don’t tell her-wish it for her anyway. That last part was VERY difficult. It helps to think of all the good things she did for you: no matter how small, they are the reflection of the good in her. And, here’s the shocker: all that shit causes things like disorganization and clutter/hoarding. Indirectly but it certainly is a product of it. Good luck bro. 🤛🏻

[@SkaterBlades]

I was looking at how to keep my room tidy. I have a total of 9 days off from work, every day was a specific area. Day 1 was my bedside table which was a complete mess, it's now not super tidy but i don't have a pile of stuff on it, i.e nothing is stacked on it. Day 2 was my windowsill, it's right by my bed which makes it a go to for putting stuff. That's been cleared and wiped down. Day 3 is the biggest day so far, took my clothes that i wear regularly and put them in the wash. Everything else went in a bag to be thrown away if it was really old or in a basket to be washed and donated. Paper and boxes tossed out, there was a pile the size of me building up that's mostly gone. Got a few boxes of old school stuff i thought I'd need but never did to get rid of. It's now a case of chipping at it day by day until it's clear. It's the monday (day 3 now), i plan to be done on Saturday or day 8 and that should be setting up a bin, and a basket for my washing. My family does have one but i do all my own clothes washing and a basket would help

For those who are still super lazy, I’ll give another tip. Take 6 big bags and fill all items in that bag. 1. put all garbage in one bag 2. Rest all put in other bags 3. Now your room is clean but with 6 bags or more lined up. After that throw away the garbage bag Then take one bag arrange it to the shelf. Take a break Then do the next… so on. Good luck

[@rasmachris94]

Some tips for my depressed homies as a depressed homie; Breaking things down into smaller tasks like this is worse for us because of how our brains work. We already dont clean our room because we view it exactly as it's depicted here in all the minor steps and that gets overwhelming. I'd suggest instead is breaking the room down into segments. You dont have to do a full clean as long as you do different parts each day. A room cleaned in parts over 4 days is better than a room you plan to do in one that you keep putting off. Pick a spot in the room to cleanly section at random; This might be your desk/coffee table/floor/bed/shelves etc. Two bags; one for recycling, one for trash. Sort out the rubbish/cups/plates. Put things you need regularly in ease of access locations and things you rarely need away. There you go, you've cleaned 1/4th or 1/5th of your room. Tomorrow pick another spot at random and do the same so on and so fourth. The idea is to keep the scale small so you dont get overwhelmed. If need be you can fragment this into simpler steps such as sorting out only the washing, or trash, or cups/plates. We're going for doable here. If it appears overwhelming to do ALL The cups and plates, or ALL of one section, then focus on doing only the cups and plates in one section.

This is the best clean up breakdown i've seen. Thank you! I just subbed.

[@TyDie1]

Cleaning is super therapeutic for me as I’ve gotten older. When I was younger I was an absolute SLOB. Dirty dishes, trash and clothes laying all over the room. Now I love cleaning and I clean my room every weekend. I typically start with the floor, and break it down into separate items like trash, clothes. And work my way up. I also start in one corner of the room and work my way to the other ones. I guess it’s just how it works for that individual person but I’m so glad I’ve gotten into cleaning weekly. Not only is it less work but just having a clean room overall is a great and relaxing feeling. I also thing I have a touch of OCD so a clean room scratches that itch! 😂

As a father, I find it therapeutic to clean my kids’ room at times. I would tackle the simplest thing first, quick wins to build momentum. 1st Picking up toys on floor and put them back on the shelves (quick win) 2nd Trash unwanted stuff eg crumped papers, empty toy boxes (if in doubt, don’t throw pls) 3rd By then, room is about 40-50% done 4th Focus on specific areas in the room eg study table, 5th Wipe down surfaces, mirrors 6th Mop the floor Voila! 🎉 Hope this is helpful for you ;)

While there's really no wrong way to sort your room out, I'd recommend a few suggestions. Get everything off of the floor first. Save the sorting for last because that will take the most time and consideration Consider using a File Brief Case instead of a File Cabinet for your paper work storage

[@Frankenstein786]

I really think the hardest thing is “putting things away properly.” Like where do I put all this 💩 is usually where I start getting overwhelmed. What does properly mean exactly?

[@zoeadkins9095]

I imagine this is a more subjective matter. Though there are better ways to store certain types of clothes, for example, it's ultimately dependent on what storage space you have and where you want them to go. If you can't figure it out on the spot, just put them somewhere and see if it calls out to you as something that bothers you, or not.
