1. Throw away trash

Trash can be all over the place, and it can get lost in unclean rooms. Even if you have extra papers laying around, throw them away! Trash is the easy way to start cleaning up your room, but make sure when you’re throwing away trash, that it’s nothing important!

2. Clean up clothes

Cleaning your clothes can be an exhausting process, and when you put it off it can add up to the mess in your room. Luckily, clothes are an easy thing to clean, all you have to do is sort the clothes into dirty and clean. Put the dirty clothes in your laundry basket and fold the clean clothes then put them where they belong. 

3. School/Work Stuff

School and work stuff can be very important, and you definitely need to keep it in a safe place, so you don’t accidentally damage important papers. All you need to do is put them in a pile, then put them neatly in a folder, backpack, briefcase, wherever you keep your work/school items. One important thing to remember is NEVER stuff it in your transportation for it, keep it in a nice place to prevent it from crumbling in there.

4. Toys/Collections

Toys can be all over a room, and it can be hard to clean them all up, but don’t lose hope just yet. You don’t even have to really clean them up, just organize them. You could do this in a small spot in your room, and make a neat pile of these. Now, some toys that could be in your room are useless. You like them, but don’t play with them. If this is happening, throw them away! Trust me you won’t miss them, but if that is too much for you, give them to a sibling or a friend.

5. Anything else

If there is too much stuff, break it into categories, like the ones above. This might seem like a lot, but it isn’t, all you have to do is pick up an item, then find where it belongs. Some of these items could be missing items that you were supposed to clean, and those are easy, because you already know where those items belong.
