I agree with a lot of the other answers. Actually I searched this question myself and tried what others suggested. It worked. Another thing I found that worked though is if you clean your room by sections. Say to yourself, "OK, I am first going to clean everything by my bed. Next, my computer, then by my TV," etc, etc. Try it! It really works!

Think about how awesome your room would look if it was clean and organized. Make lists of places you want to put things, or draw a picture of a new way to arrange your furniture. When youre satisfied, start cleaning. Start early in the morning so you have the whole day if you need it. When youre finished, youll be so happy that you wont want to leave your room. Try to keep things in their place, and when you notice it getting a little messy, clean it. If you make it a point to pick up your room every week or so, it will stay clean. Listening to music really helps as well. It keeps you in a good mood. It makes the time go by faster too. Before you know it, youll be done cleaning. Then youll be free to just relax and listen to the music. I hope I helped. Good luck!

Play music really loud, and make it into a workout. Or make it into a game, like write chores on little peices of paper, then pick one and do the chore (be sure to save the papers). Invite a friend over and have him/her help you out. And next time, keep your room clean bit by bit so it won't be a problem.

If you listen to music while you clean it helps you go faster and clean to the beat of the song. It helps me. Just put in one of your fav cds or blast the radio or somethiun. Also once your room is clean, keep it clean and you won't have to cean it as often.

First to keep your room from getting so dirty, clean every day just a little, pick up dirty clothes, throw away junk, make your bed, hang up clothes..etc. And to make it fun, just turn on the radio full blast to your favorite music, and just clean...Its hard to make cleaning a fun thing to do.

Get cool things like color full picture frams and like a butterfly chair or something that when you see these things you want to make sure people can see them when they come in. That should make you want to keep the room clean.

well i'm not going to tell you to through everything in the closet or under the bed. put some fast moving music on that always helps me or watch tv or talk on the phone while your doing it. you can't make it faster but it will seem like time flys if you do one of those things i just told you

Ok, I have this kind of questions from my friends ALL THE TIME. Umm...letsee. Turn on the music while you clean your room. To me, I sort of soak into the music and I dont even know that I'm cleaning, lol! Also, you can talk on the phone while you clean your room, and so on and so forth. I hope I helped.

How to make tidying your room fun in 5 easy steps

1: Put your favourite CD on and crank up the volume so loud that they can hear it halfway across town!

2: Draw your curtains!! So that when your are doing your best britney/marilyn manson/whoever impression that your ENTIRE neighbourhood odesn't gather round to watch!!!

3: Get 5 BIG black bin-liners and sort stuff as follows : * Dirty Clothes
* Clean clothes
* Rubbish/ Junk/anything with mould on!!
* Stuff to keep (C.Ds that have wound up on your floor, scoolwork you need to keep etc etc)
* Other! This is the bag where you put anything that doesn't fit into the above 4 categories!

4:Sort out each bag individually

5: Hoover whilst dancing like a maniac

Ta-da one tidy room!!

As I rule my bedroom is now immaculate, but when I was a teenager I didn't even know whether I had carpet let alone know what colour it was!! I was the messiest thing ever - thankfully as I've gotten older I've gotten better although I have 5 rules for keeping my room clutter free

1: If it's broken - Bin it!

2: If you haven't used it for over 3 months - Bin it!!

3: If you don't wear it/ like it / fit into it anymore - Bin it (or if it's decent enough take it to a charity shop

4: Do not take food into your room

5: Do a quick 5 minute swoop of the room every day. That way it doesn't end up a hideous mess that takes a week to tidy!!

Good luck with the tidying!!!

rainbowcherrie answered Monday February 14 2005, 8:01 am:
Well I usually put on really loud music and dance around singing when I tidy my room. If you don't enjoy that, then invite a friend round and chat to him/her while you clean. I have a tv in my room, sometimes I watch that when I'm doing homework or tidying up, if you have your own tv maybe you could try that.

XoxBroKeNxoX answered Sunday February 13 2005, 11:32 pm:
hmm, youre lucky, small rooms are bad haha. well you can try making it fun by...thinking how cool and nice its gonna look when youre done! and maybe figure out ways to rearange it. try making ice cream or something and put it in the freezer and keep tellin urself "as soon as i get done i get that ice cream" so it makes it funner to clean and faster n stuff. i duno my house is shitty and messy so i have no experience lol. good luck!

rainbowsend answered Sunday February 13 2005, 11:25 pm:
The good advice has already been mentioned... play music, dance, make piles to sort.

Also- reward yourself when you're done! Eat ice cream, or go out with friends, or have your friends over to see your new clean room.

Another point- try to get rid of stuff! It's a lot easier to KEEP your room clean if you have less junk.

Heeheehee, i'll help clean your room if you pay me....i already wash my teacher's dishes...lols.

When you're cleaning your room, first pick up all your same articles. Like pick up all your clothing first, and put them in the need-to-wash basket. Then your books. Then you various playboy magazines. Lols. YOu noe? Turn on the radio, or your cd, or the tv. you can even watch dvds on your computer whie you are cleaning up, that's wat i do. Dont leave your mess cluttering about, or cut corners, because cutting corners builds up another mess, even if it takes a considerable time to be noticeable. That's all.
