BEING A HARE-BRAINED ARTIST,
organization does not come easily to me. It’s
the opposite for my sister Rachel. In her room,
everything not only has a place but is in its place. I
like to think of my room as a less insane version of
Holly Golightly’s apartment. While you won’t find a
telephone hidden in the netherregions of my suitcase, you
may discover hand sanitzer in a pencil case, extra t-shirts
next to my bed, and library books hidden underneath my pillow.
Organization, however, is taking care of the things God has
gifted you with. Okay . . . I’ll go clean out my pencil case. And
while I do that, here are some things you can do to reorganize
your room . . .
Organized
1.
I bought some really cute black ones about two years
ago. They were cheap, yet functional. I still have the
bookcases. *begin embarrassing story* When I first
purchased them, I was absolutely driven to build them
myself. Well, a few crooked nails later, I realized I had
put the back on wrong. So, I ruefully removed the
nails and called my brother for assistance. To this day,
my bookcase still has scars. *story end* Once you get
the bookshelves, choose a theme or two for each shelf.
Perhaps one will hold the stuffed animals you’re not
quite ready to give away yet (I’m right there with you!),
while the other will actually hold books.
Purchase bookshelves.
2. It may be time to get rid of some things in your room,
like that Rudolph snow globe your great aunt gave you
for Christmas last year, or those cute boots that don’t
fit you anymore. Or that epic Hello Kitty chainsaw.
LET IT GO, MAN. Make it a routine to file through your
room every season and eliminate the junk in your
room. If it makes you feel better, you can give favorite
clothes to younger girls you know or friends who are
shorter than you (a.k.a., me), or items to your local
Goodwill.
Purge.
