Having your own bedroom means that you can enjoy some privacy, sleep well and relax after working long hours. But it also means that you have an added responsibility in your life—cleaning your bedroom space as often as possible.
Cleaning can be quite challenging especially if it is not your cup of tea. Part of growing up means that you should step up and be responsible for doing simple chores. Here are some essential tips on how to keep your room clean and organized.
Motivate yourself to start cleaning
Let us face the reality that cleaning is not fun, especially if your room is full of mess. For you to accomplish something, you should find ways to motivate yourself to clean your room.

Also, think of rewarding yourself with good food or a relaxing day with your friends after completing the entire task.
Create a checklist
If you do not know where to begin, it is advisable to write a to-do list to keep you focused. For example, you can start with making your bed, throwing out the trash and folding your clothes. Look around your bedroom and assess the things that need to be done as soon as possible. Learning to prioritise your tasks by using a checklist will help you accomplish more chores, rather doing things in no particular order.
Invest in storage spaces
No matter how often you clean your bedroom, your surroundings will always look disorganized, especially if you own lots of things.
