The time has come to clean my room again.

Turn music on. Grab a trash bag and fill it with stuff to throw away. Once all the throw-awayable stuff is gone, then organize the rest.

Could be....

The pieces start falling into place.....
 
just think of all the stuff u will find which has been lost for years and years and years. ok... maybe weeks.

EDIT - btw... pics?!
 
Ok, I'll give some suggestions on this...I should be a pro at it considering all I have been doing for the last week is cleaning kids rooms. First--go into the room armed with a box/roll of heavy duty trash bags. Put them on top of the first thing you are going to clean so you can find them when you need them.

Start at the highest level in the room. Like what's on top of the bookshelf. Take everything off there. Wipe off the shelf, replace the important/good/unbroken crap up there. Do this for every level in the room. Dump the junk in the drawers onto the floor. You should be a good 3 feet deep in sh!t at this point. Retrieve the trash bags. If it is broken, full of holes, unknown object, or obvious trash, put it in a trash bag. If it is still useable but doesn't fit/isn't needed/reminds you of your much hated ex, put it in a trash bag for donating to charity. Get new bags as needed. Take 30 minute breaks every hour or two if you need to...if you're like me, once you have all that crap on the floor you won't be able to take a break because the dor to the room is blocked. This technique works. Really. You just have to be SURE that all the stuff in the charity bags gets to the charity ASAP after cleaning...otherwise you have second thoughts about the junk in the bags.

Excellent advice. Reminds me that I need to get around to cleaning my room, too. :Q

Oh, yea, we want PICS. Before and after, of course! 😀

Good advice. And once you get it clean, it really doesn't take that much effort to keep it clean. Put dirty clothes where they belong, throw away trash, and put other things away when you're done using them. I know it sounds like something you'd tell a little kid, but really, with just a little effort, you can keep it clean once you get it clean. Trust me (my room before we moved used to be nasty, now my room is one of the cleaner rooms in the house)

Bad idea. Cleaning your room would have given you exercise (pushing the vacuum) while accomplishing something else useful at the same time. 🙂
 
I usually just pile everything on top of my bed - clean my furniture/vacuum - then separate everything into piles on the floor - then I organize everything 😛
