2. When my bedroom gets reallly bad I get my dad or sister to tidy do it for me! This month Im going to do it myself by buying great big storage boxes. you could try that?
3. I would try space bags,for the clothes that you dont wear do to season /weather change.thats what im going to do.
4. Start by getting a big box and throw everything in it thats lying around. Take the box into another room and go back to your bedroom and clean it. When your room is nice and clean and tidy go back to the box and start to sort through it. Make a pile of all the things that need washing( if you have not worn it in the last 6 months, throw it away or give to charity). Make another pile of the books and decide what you want to keep and give the rest to the charity shop. Put the books on a shelf or in a cupboard. When you go back to your bedroom you wont want to mess it up again, this will encourage you to always put things away when you have finished with them. Buy a laundry basket and always put your washing into it not on the floor.
5. Well i would recommend that you go through all of your things and find the things that you use and dont use. the things that you dont use can be given away or have a garage sale and make some money! With the things that you keep keepsakes and what not, get some storage boxes different sizes and label them and keep only those things in them. For example, if you have pictures scattered label a box for pictures. If you have winter clothes you can store them and label a box for winter clothes. Doing that not only keeps your things together but then you will always know where they are. The first thing to getting tidy is to rid of the clutter. Anything that you have had for a year or more that you havent used needs to be thrown out. Not really in the trash unless its broken...but donate some things or decide to have a garage sale and earn some money. If there are books that you would like to keep store them and label it books and if there are any that you wouldnt then donate or garage sale. The same for the clothes...I have a storage thing that slides under my bed and i store summer clothes or winter clothes so my closet isnt filled with so many clothes and i would have to go searching. But yes find the things that you dont wear or dont fit and decide what you would like to do with those. Seeing that its getting warm take out winter stuff and store it neatly until next time. Hope this helps and good luck :)
6. if you havent used it in six months get rid of it and remember to use vertical space for storage also
