Some ideas:
1. Set aside 5 or 10 min to pick things up every day at the same time each day. When you wake up, before you go to sleep, as a break when your 1/2 way through your homework, or whatever.
2. Keep a trash can in your room with an open top. Try to make baskets with your trash.
3. I love star charts. If your room is clean when you go to bed, give yourself a star. Set a goal - clean 3 times a week, all but 3 days in a month - something that you'll have to work a little bit to get, but that's not that hard. When your reaching your goal consistently, make it harder. :)
4. If it's mostly one thing - papers from school, laundry, art supplies, etc - get a box or a basket to toss it all into during the week, and then set aside an hour on the weekend every week to put them all away. In the meantime, your room will be mostly clean.
