Children's failure to keep their rooms clean is the basis for many a family argument. However, it's not that difficult to keep your room clean. Divide room cleaning into several tasks, concentrating on one until you do it well. Then focus on a second task, and continue until the whole job is accomplished.
Be specific: Make checklist, post the list in your room and recheck off each task as it is performed. Even if a bed is not made exactly to your standards, if it looks better than it did the day before, feel happy that you have seen improvement. Recognize your achievement.
Be consistent: Some of us have a very bad habit that we keep our clean only for a few days. Then again we start ignoring the regular dusting, our study table is mess again and our so is our cabinet. We often blame our routine for this. However there is no reason why we cannot spare 10 minutes to daily dusting and making sure that things are organized in our room.
Set specific Times: Another area in which the cleanliness of a room becomes a point of discussion is time. Give yourself some time to do the job. Make sure that you do the job of cleaning the room with in the specified time.
It's my Turf: Sometimes, when our parents comment on our untidy room, we are ready with the answer, it's my room and I am fine with it, many of us would choose to be neat, but if parents say we must clean our rooms, we become stubbornly rebellious. The fact is the way you keep your room is your choice, so why not choose to life in a neat and tidy room.
The key is to keep cleaning and organizing daily. If you spend just a few minutes a day, your room will stay clean. Also, the problem is probably related to a lack of organization, so may be if you find a system for organizing your stuff that works for you (other than just throwing it on the floor) you will be more apt to maintain the system. I am sure if you ask your mom, she would be happy to help you get the materials you need to keep your room clean and organized.
