4. Clean your bedroom. That means vacuum and dust!

 

Let's take these one at a time...

1. Create a cleaning schedule to clean and organize your bedroom every week. 

There really is no way around this one. You need to clean and organize your room every week. If you skip a week, the clutter gets so out of control it is really hard to get it done without being overwhelmed. 

Pick a specific day and time for organizing your room and ask your parents to help you schedule it on your family calendar. You can pick ANY day and time, but I find Saturday morning tends to be the best for most girls, unless they are in a competitive sport.

At first, it may take you 2-4 hours to clean and organize your room. But after you go through all 5 of these posts, it will get quicker and easier. Eventually, you should be able to get your whole room clean and organized in an hour or less.

2. Do these TOP 3 bedroom cleaning tasks.

Clean up trash and food, take out all the dirty laundry, and clean up your floor.
