I’ve always been kind of a hoarder. I have a lot of…….stuff. It also doesn’t help that my room is pretty tiny, and even a little mess can make my room look like everything is out of place. I wouldn’t call myself necessarily super-messy, but I was never the kind of person that would clean her room on a daily basis. I’m a fairly clean person, but if events like studying for finals, or recording a music video of some sort comes along, cleaning gets put in the backburner.
However, I just gave my room a makeover for the first time in years, and made a pact to myself that I would keep it as nice and tidy and as appealing to the eye as possible. A lot of my recent success can be attributed to getting rid of a lot of my stuff, but after watching a reading a tip about how cleaning your room for 8 minutes in the morning, I decided to try it out for myself. After a month or so of cleaning my room for 8 minutes in the morning every other day are so, here are some reasons why you should clean your room for a couple of minutes in the morning!
1. 8 Minutes Pass By Fast
Just set a timer on and you are good to go! Once you start cleaning, you’ll be surprised at how fast the clock moves. It really only takes roughly the time to make a mess to clean it. One of the reasons why we procrastinate on cleaning is that we think that it will take a lot of time. But if you make time for at least 8 minutes every other day to clean your room, it’ll help you to not put it off for “later.”
2. A Clean Room Is A Clean Mind
Once you get into the habit of cleaning our room more regularly, it can become therapeutic. Instead of viewing it as a chore, you’ll get used to having a more tidy room, and you’ll start to really enjoy having a clean space in which you spend half of your time in; whether that be studying and/or sleeping
4. It Will Help You Get Your Day Started

5. It’s The Little Habits You Do That Can Change Your Life
Ever since I re-decorated my room to make it the cozy and clean place that it is now, I always look forward to coming home to it.

It’s the little habits that you do in your life that can make the biggest difference.
