How To Be Organized…?
I recently cleaned my room, and I want to get rid of many of my things so I can keep it organized, but I’m so attached to everything I have. It makes it so hard to throw anything away. Everything I have has something meaningful behind it. I either got it for my birthday, or I found it, or I just really like it. I have so much junk I just have nowhere to put it, and it ends up in boxes all over my parents’ house. Any tips on how to let my stuff go an get rid of it? Also, anyone have any tips to get my bedroom organized so I’m not looking everywhere trying to find something??

I had this same problem but I got so sick of moving things just to find what I was really looking for. Put things that you know you don’t need, wear or want anymore in a box and list it on freecycle in your area. Someone will come to your house to get it and it will be out of your way. You may think how can I get rid of this….I really like it…once it’s gone trust me you will forget about it. And you will have more room to display things you really do love. You can keep one box of things that you just aren’t ready to let go…just make sure you choose a box size that you have somewhere to keep it, like say under the bed or in the back of the closet. Hope this helps.
i really wish i knew! im sitting in my room right now covered in junk cos i started ‘organising’ lol. the desk is covering half the door so you have to breath in to get in/out. i feel your pain! all i can think of is getting some pretty boxes, throw out all school stuff you dont need, and as my nan alwasy says when she trys to help me- ‘throw it’ haha. good luuuuuckkkk!!!
You could ask your parents if you could have a curio cabinet–it’s like a small china closet where you can display some of your more precious things.
Another idea is to keep them in the boxes and put them in the attic (if you have one) or under your bed. (There’s nothing wrong with storing things neatly under there.) Then forget about them. When you’re ready to move out, you’ll know better then if you want to keep them.
3 boxes
1, I love it so I shall keep it.
2 I like it a lot ,but really it has no value and is of no use to anyone else, So throw it away.
3. No point in hanging on to this , as I will never wear/ use it, But it might be of use to someone else, maybe a small child who has no toys , or nice clothes to wear, Yes I will give this to my local church , This way I will have done a good deed . Good Idea ? Don´t you think? PS. I think that once you have a few things out of your way , you will than have more space to work with . and 15 min´s of your time every day will have your room nice and tidy as well as organized
If a box of stuff sits long enough you will forget whats in it… put it out for goodwill or something or have a garage sale and be strong!! Think of a goal item to use the money from the garage sale profits!
