Clean your room every week or so to keep it fresh and manageable. Our busy life doesn't allow us to get dressed slowly, eat slowly or do anything slowly. So, if you are looking for something important related to school or work last minute, and you can't find it because of your untidy room, you're going to be in big trouble.
