#5. Be More Organized
12:24 PM
Something I admire when I look at other blogger's (or even buzzfeed posts,) is ORGANIZATION!
Come on in!
Being organized is certainly not a skill I am too good at. My bedroom at home is a classic example of this - for yeeeeaaaarrrsss now it has been a mess. It was pretty common for me to just throw whatever on the ground and just leave it to future Caroline to take care of it. (Thank you, Future Caroline ☆)
WELL NO LONGER! (well... maybe sometimes...) I am now living by the rule: if it takes 5 seconds to do it - just do it. Its amazing how many little things add up over time and by practicing this helps the list stay low. This extends to more than just my room of course, but those things don't photograph as nicely as my new set up.
I have a desk again - and STORAGE!
Here's a few highlights of my room's transformation. It was really an experience going through all the little nooks and crannies within my room (...and I didn't even go through everything...) I saw things that I thought I had thrown out long ago and also plenty of things that I was happy to "re" dispose of. Cleaning my room was more than just tidying up my workspace, it was an emotional purge. I donated several bags and boxes filled with old clothes and toys that I hope will suit someone better than myself.
I don't have too many photos of the before - it was all pretty embarrassing. All this being said, there are reasons for the messiness. I notice that when I am going through a depressive period my room gets to peak disaster and that I really just don't care. For years now I wouldn't let anyone enter my room just for fear of what they may think of me. (If she can't even keep her bedroom clean - is she really able to take care of herself?)
The truth is, I'm starting to accept parts of me that I can't really change and that includes my depression. We'll talk about that later!
Thanks for reading!
