Answer 1

Think of when somebody like a friend comes over.
You want them to feel comfortable right,
so like having a clean room can contribute
A LOT of comfort to someone who is over.

Plus it just makes you feel better. A sense of accomplishment feels great.

Sometimes when I look at a big job I find it very overwhelming, so overwhelming that I don't even feel like starting it and I just put it off instead. That doesn't really work as a way to avoid worrying about the big task, though, because I still worry about how I haven't done it. Here are some strategies I know about that might help:

1. Ask yourself, "What's the smallest part of this task that I could do right now?" and then do that. Sometimes just getting started makes you feel like continuing. If you don't feel like doing any more, you can stop.

2. Tell yourself, "I'll do 10 things each day whether I feel like it or not." I learned this strategy from an article about a woman who was ill and sometimes didn't feel well enough to weed her garden. She would always pull 15 weeds a day. It was little enough that she could do it even when she wasn't feeling well, and on a good day 15 weeds wouldn't wear her out and make her feel ill. Using the 15 weeds a day strategy she weeded her garden twice in one summer. So maybe setting a number of items in your room you will pick up each day could help.

3. Ask yourself, "What will happen if?" For example, "What would happen if I cleaned my room?" "It might be hard." "Is that so bad?" Have a dialogue with yourself to try to find out the reasons you don't want to do these things. Then you might find out that what you are afraid of isn't such a big deal after all.

4. Consider the idea that you might have a psychological disorder that is unnecessarily making your life harder. For example, some people with anxiety disorders or depression find it hard to do everyday tasks like cleaning their rooms sometimes. Perhaps you should ask your parents to take you to a psychiatrist or psychologist for a psychological evaluation.

I wish you happiness and success!

Pick up a little at a time. For example make your bed, go practice your soccer, then come back inside and vacum. Or, pick stuff up off the floor, go practice soccer, then clean your closet when you get back inside! As soon as you wake up in the morning, make your bed. Think of how happy your mom would be if she went into your room and saw how clean it was! And, when people come over, they would think " Wow! She really cares about her stuff and wants to take good care of it!" Also, you don't get sick as often if you clean your room. Dust it every day. It only takes a minute, and it keeps things looking new, and keeps you from getting sick so easily!
You will really feel better every time you walk into your room and it looks really good! If you keep it clean, you won't have to clean it so much! Every time you leave something out, pick it up right after so things don't go EVERYWHERE in your room. Keep it organized! You'll know where everything is, and it looks good! Do all of these things, and your room should be clean in no time!

Also, use something to help you clean your room faster! Such as turning on music, turning the TV on with a low volume, ect.

You'll be really glad you cleaned your room!

I'd set aside time in your schedule to clean each day. I've found that if you take 15 minutes to clean each day, it can be effective. If you need more time, you can always do a big 'binge cleaning' session and clear it all out in a day or so, then set aside a 15 minute pick-up each day to keep it under control. Putting on some good music can also help while cleaning.

Answer 5

We are on the same page with this matter. Just do a little of the room at a time. It will be fine and you won't be taxing yourself to pieces. I am presently working on this project and am doing well with it. I have even found some pictures and "other valuables" that I thought were lost. Think of the cleaning process as a "treasure hunt" and it will be fun for you. I wish you well. Peace, Love and God Bless.

1. Start with "21 pickup." Set a timer for 5 minutes and clean for just five minutes and pick up and put away twenty-one things. You will get so much done in five minutes that it will surprise you. :) It also won't feel overwhelming. (You can do it twice a day if you want to make twice as much progress.)

2. Invite some friends over for a party on a day two weeks from now.

Inviting people over to your house will motivate you to make sure it gets done. :)

Answer 7

put on some loud music and just get to it. Try to do it as fast as you can.. think of it as a kind of cardio work out.. all that bending and lift dirty clothes and what not can get tiring lol.

Get off the computer and just clean already!

Answer 8

Just clean it up. It's not that hard.
