This will keep your room tidy

To keep a room tidy over the long term, two things are important:

  • First, every object must have a place where it belongs. It doesn't have to be fixed by the inch, but knowing what's on the shelf and what's in the closet makes tidying up a lot easier.
  • Second, you need to be continuous. That is, whenever you use something, put it back in its place afterwards. Whenever you see something lying around, pick it up in passing. So you can live in your room for weeks without ever having to seriously tidy up.
  • However, this kind of attention must first be trained. Perhaps you start by searching the entire room for items at a specific time each night. You probably have to save two or three times and your duty for the day is done and the next day begins in a tidy room.

  • Put a rubbish bin in your room where you can dispose of any type of waste immediately. If there are different types of garbage in the room, use several small buckets to separate the garbage. So nothing remains that you have to take care of later.
  • Do not store anything on the floor, otherwise the dust will collect in it and it will be much more difficult to vacuum or sweep through. With a free floor, it only takes a few minutes to vacuum a room once.
