Superb Spring Cleaning Tips

It’s spring cleaning time and getting organized is on everyone’s mind. But, sometimes it can feel almost impossible to get things in a neat order. Most people don’t look forward to it, thinking it’s boring or tiring. It doesn’t have to be that way though! Organization can be fun and quick and make you feel good! Here are ten tips to help you enjoy being more organized:

1. When you are organizing, play music or listen to a podcast or book on tape:

This makes the task of cleaning or organizing much more fun and distracts you from the fact that you’re really just doing chores.

2. Storage bins are your friends!:

Whether you’re organizing your entire room or just your desk, having a place for everything is key. Storage bins and organizers are perfect for this task.

3. Take your time:

This sounds really cheesy but it works. If you hate cleaning, do fifteen or twenty minutes a day for two weeks and you’ll see significant improvement.

4. Make small improvements:

Make your bed, pick up twenty things off of the floor, fold your laundry; these tasks are easy to do if your not in the mood to do a deep cleaning.

5. Make piles:

If your trying to clean out your bedroom and get rid of things make piles. For example you could have a keep pile, a garbage pile, and a donate pile.

6. Get rid of old habits:

If you want to keep your space clean, it is essential to shake old habits. Don’t throw your laundry on the floor, throw away your trash etc.

7. Motivate yourself:

If you really want a clean room, you can have one. It’s easy to be lazy and say your going to clean your room, but never actually do it.

8. Give yourself incentives:

If you are having trouble getting motivated to clean your room, incentives can help. For example, if you clean your room for twenty minutes, you can watch that show you’re binging for twenty minutes as a reward.

9. Get rid of trash:

Most of the clutter in your room is trash so throwing things away is key. Think, Do I really need this panera receipt?

10. Only get what’s necessary:

To keep your room clear only take what you need. You don’t need every little thing.

I hope you try out some of these tips during your Spring cleaning! They can really help motivate you to stay organized. And having a tidy space helps you be more productive throughout your day. So, this Spring, turn over a new leaf and get organized!
