Get Organized: A tribute to Aristotle

For this assignment I decided to clean up my room. Usually my room is a complete disaster. There are clothes , books, scraps of paper, and shoes everywhere. When I normally clean my room I just bunch things into a ball and kind of put them away or just stack things up. This time, however, I actually folded my clothes and put things where they belong instead of just stacking them up. I made all my sweatshirts made it where they are supposed to be. I put all of my shoes against the wall in a neat line. I put all of my books back in my bookshelf or in my backpack. Finally, I threw away all of the garbage and scraps of paper.

Before starting to clean my room I was a little hesitant because it was so messy. I thought that it would be really hard to actually a place for everything and put it away neatly. While cleaning my room I was kind of annoyed because it took awhile. I got annoyed at how much stuff I have that needed to be put away. In the end, I was really happy. I could actually see all of the the carpet on my floor. I could walk around my room without having to worry about stepping on something or tripping over it. Although I was hesitant and annoyed before and while I was cleaning, it really paid off in the end.

The project made my mind feel "cleaner." I feel like I just got rid of all of the junk in my mind as well as in my room. Seeing a clean room made my mind feel fresh. I didn't have to think as much about where I was walking or where things were. My things were where they should be and the floor was clear of obstacles. All in all, cleaning my room was kind of like cleaning my mind.

After the project I know that it isn't really that hard to clean my room. It may look like a very daunting task, but it really isn't that bad. I also know that I can keep my room clean so that it doesn't get messy. I realized that everything has a place in my room and if  I just put everything away after I'm done with it then it will save me time in the end. Overall, cleaning my room made me realize that keeping my room clean will benefit me in more than one way.
