You are stressed out because your room is in a mess and you can't find the research you did for school. You always miss your school job before delivery and your parents keep telling you to clean your room. It seems impossible to get organized, but this wikiHow article will show you how!
Steps
Part 1 of 3: Organizing your room
Step 1. Turn on the radio or iPod
Music will energize you and provide you with pleasant company as you clean and tidy up!
Step 2. If your room is really bad and the thought of tidying up makes you panic because you think you can't make it, remember this rule:
do something for fifteen minutes. Work for fifteen minutes, then take a break and see what you managed to do. If necessary, rest for a few minutes (but a few minutes does not mean doing nothing more). If you divide what you need to do into short sessions, you will tire less.
Step 3. Now get two laundry containers, a trash can, and a box
If you don't have a large box, use another laundry container. One of the containers is for dirty laundry, the other for items that shouldn't be in your room but elsewhere in the house. The box is for the things you want to give away, and the garbage can, of course, is for the trash.
Step 4. Start from one corner of the room
The bed is a good place to start. Make the bed and arrange the pillows. Here, part of your room is already in order, and it probably only took you a minute or two!
Step 5. Now remove the things that got under the bed
Don't be scared if there's a lot of stuff, just take things one at a time and decide where they need to go. If it is something that has to be in your room, put it in its place, otherwise put it in one of the containers or in the trash can.
Step 6. Move along a wall until you have collected everything, then continue to the next corner
Step 7. Don't forget the wardrobe
Sure, you'll be tempted to ignore that black hole swallowing your clothes and shoes, and who knows what else, but you have to resist the temptation. If you neglect the closet the chaos will reclaim your room and your efforts will have been in vain.
Step 8. After taking care of the perimeter and the closet you can move on to the center of the room
Step 9. Then take the vacuum cleaner and clean the floor thoroughly
Part 2 of 3: Organize schoolwork
Step 1. If you want, you can also listen to music for this part and apply the fifteen minute rule
Step 2. First, go through your backpack and binders
Remove all the homework and notes you don't need right now: keep them in a binder if you need to study them for verification or put them in the paper for recycling (this can be done easily at the end of the term or term, but can be done at any time).
Step 3. Now take a binder with various pockets (buy it or use one you already have)
Step 4. Put lined and squared paper in the last pocket
Write "homework" in the pocket label.
Step 5. Devote one or two binder dividers to each subject, based on how many assignments each teacher usually gives
Write the matter in the first tab.
Step 6. Take a look at the homework and papers you removed from your backpack and put them in the right place
Part 3 of 3: Keeping things tidy and organized
Step 1. Great job
Now your room and homework and school supplies are in order. That was the hard part, and now you have to make sure everything stays in order so that the chaos and stress don't disrupt your life. To do this, we will show you how to make an Anti Chaos Journal.
Step 2. Get a 10x15cm photo album, something beautiful that you will love to use
Must have plastic pockets for at least 20 photos.
Step 3. Get 10x15cm cards and a pen
You will also need a computer with a color printer. You may also need some scissors.
Step 4. Open a Microsoft Word document and insert a rectangular frame measuring 10x15
You can add a background you like. Now add the text, which will be the title of your diary (choose the title you want, it is your private diary).
Step 5. Create another 10x15 frame and name it Morning Routine
The first thing to write after you wake up is to make the bed. The rest will be all the things you need to do in the morning to get ready. Put them in the order you prefer and don't leave anything out. If you want you can also put pictures.
Step 6. Create another frame and name it Afternoon Routine
List everything you need to do when you get home from school, and don't forget your homework.
Step 7. Create one last frame, the Evening Routine, or Before Going to Sleep
List everything you need to do. One of the things should be to take at least five minutes to tidy up your room. This way the room will be tidy when you get up in the morning, and the first thing you will see is a quiet and clean place, the best way to start the day!
Step 8. Print the frames, cut them out and put them in the album
Step 9. Now take seven cards and a pen
- On one of the cards write "Things to do". Write down all the various things you need to remember to do throughout the day. Put the card in the pocket after the Evening Routine pocket.
- On the other 6 cards write "Homework for …". Make one for each school day (Monday to Saturday, if you also go on Saturday) and put them in order in the album. Every weekend, take a few minutes to prepare the cards for the following week. When a teacher assigns homework, you write it on the right card.
Step 10. Add any other information or tasks and research you want to always have with you
Step 11. Your Anti Chaos Journal is finished
All you have to do is read it every day until you know the routine by heart. Don't forget to put it in your backpack.
