Love Organizing : Weekly Cleanup

Hey lover! At the beginning of college was when I made a conscious change to become a more organized person. Nowadays, I strive to be organized in every aspect, yet my struggle continues to be arriving places on time. I am a work in progress my friends.

Throughout my weekly activities, I do end up having messes scattered around, but I make sure to clean it once a week. In the picture above, you can see my vanity mess. This is one of the first spots to get turned upside down, since I sit here every time I get ready to leave my house. Organizing this space was simple since I just needed to put away samples, makeup and jewelry.

Next is my desk, which gets cluttered very easily. This is essentially my “catch-all” space and it drives me crazy seeing it a mess. Here I needed to get rid of Valentine’s day chocolates, put books back in the bookshelf, sort through mail and file away receipts. This is a weekly task that I make sure to do, before the mess becomes overwhelming.

Oh my pajama drawer. My theory is since I dig through it right before bed, when I’m awfully tired, this is why it is the one drawer I constantly need to organize. I definitely don’t do this once a week, but it does require the most upkeep. Every time I refold and sort the clothes, I remove some items to decrease the clutter.

In addition to organizing, I do dust the whole room once a week, which only takes me about 20 minutes. This routine is something I have come to enjoy since I love the clean outcome.  What are some weekly organizing or cleaning tips you practice? I’d love to know!
