Clean place makes happy space.

Growing up you probably were told many times to clean your room, and now at the age of 21 almost 22 I finally get it. Ever since I moved out of my parents bedroom and into the room I shared with my older sister, keeping it clean and organized was top priority.  And until now I have been absolutely horrible with this. Maybe it's the new year but I've finally understand what the big deal is.

I've been dealing with Strep throat for a while now and have recently developed sinus pains. Being sick in my family is an easy ticket to get out of doing chores. And I have been enjoying my free time.

But after a few days of not really doing anything productive I decided to clean my room and actually keep it clean.  And boy has it made a difference.  I feel so much happier and relaxed knowing that I don't have to stress about all the clutter around me. Now I have more time to do other things. 

Some tips I have learned are
1. Clean
Use actual cleaning products, wipe down furniture and vacuum if you have carpet
2. De clutter your floor and furniture first.
This is helpful because a) now you have a pathway and b) it already makes your room seem organized.
3. Do everything in small projects.
Now that you have put everything away, organize that space. This includes drawers, bookshelves, bins, closets. Any place you store your belongings organize it.
4. Maintain the clean space
Put things away were they belong after you use them. This might get hard but it makes all the difference.

A clean and organized place has brought me and kept me in a nice happy mental space.
