Hi there. I am 13, and my little office has gotten really messy over the winter break. I am going back to school. Any tips on making cleaning easier? There are literally piles of stuff everywhere! Please give me some tips/motivate me! I need help! Also, what makes a good study space? What supplies to have around? HELP!

1. Eliminate the stuff you actually don’t use.
2. Organize the piles of stuff into containers.
3. Put stuff you absolutely use for study in drawers in/near your
desk.
4. You’ll ideally need silence to study, but if you’re one of those teens who needs music, then put your iPod or MP3 on your desk, along with pencils, pens on your desk.
5. When doing Homework, clean up as you go and then you won’t have to deal with ‘DA junk’ in huge piles later. It will put you into the discipline you will need when you go to college and have to share your space with a roomie or dorm mate.
Wow…I wish my kids were asking how to tidy up their little office. You sound like a really neat kid!
Well, all I can suggest is to get a filing cabinet to file all of your papers. You can file by subject, date, or month…whichever suits you. Also, you can re-paper some old show boxes with decorative contact paper to use as storage for your supplies. Or, you can always go out and buy one of those rolling carts with 3-4 drawers in it. Also, might ask your dad or someone to put up a few shelves for you.
Hope this helps!
Good Luck!
You are starting out right.
here is a website that will tell you how to organize your space in 12 easy steps. http://sbinfocanada.about.com/od/smallof…
Of course, you say that you have a little office so some of them might not apply to you. http://www.lifeorganizers.com/office/org…
I hope that helps some. I know that I work better when I have a clean space to work with. It somehow makes me think better.
