My Room Is Always A Mess

I tell my kids what i m doing and make a big deal of how excited i am to have my clean room back.

My room is always a mess. There has always been this sort of urban legend that has floated around modern society deeming people with messy desks as having a high affinity for creative reasoning. A messy room both represents an adolescent s disorganized mental state and makes a statement that they can now live on their own terms. But as i pull myself out of a funk to clean my room i deal with it openly instead of in secret. You can make sure all dirty clothes go into the hamper every morning.

You can establish a rule with yourself that you only take out an article of clothing out at a time and always put something back in before you take a new one out. It s a mess but it s my mess. The messy room is a small problem with big implications. In order to determine what a messy room might say about you start by considering why the room tends to be disorderly including your own habits preferences and state of mind.

If you function fine in a messy room then don t let trends pressure you into pursuing a more organized or minimalistic lifestyle. You can do a closet declutter so you have less stuff and more room in your closet for what you do use.
