On a beautiful, sunny Sunday, I spent exactly fifty-three minutes re-organizing my room. I threw away unneeded papers, put clothes back into my closet, cleared the desk space of random objects, and put everything laying around back into its designated space.
Before actually starting this project, I felt super lazy and not motivated at all because it's a lot of work re-organizing my bedroom and I just didn't feel like doing it. During the process though, I got more motivated and I didn't feel lazy anymore and I was on a roll putting things back where they belonged and being able to see my actual desk and floor made me feel good. After organizing my entire room, I felt proud of myself for accomplishing such a big task all by myself.
This project made my mind feel more organized and peaceful. I wasn't worrying about the mess and all the random objects cluttered around my room. My thoughts were just more relaxed I guess and I didn't feel as stressed as before.
I now know that I have too many clothes, I keep papers that I don't really need, I own a bunch of random things that pop out of no where and that I should really just put things back where they came from after I use them because that would be easier than re-organizing my room every week. I also realized that I have a lot more storage space than I thought I had.
Nothing really surprises me about my thinking anymore. I mean I always think about things ahead of time, like what outfits I'm going to where that week or projects and homework I need to do. If something needs to be done within a certain amount of time, then it's always on my mind until I get it done.
I love the way you played with description and imagery. It made a remedial task that would usually bore readers with it's simple detail fun and interesting to read. I admire the "voice" you use when you write and wish mine had been as good as yours. Mine seems boring and overdone compared to your bright reenactment of cleaning your room.I agree with many things you said in your entry such as, " During the process though, I got more motivated and I didn't feel lazy anymore and I was on a roll putting things back where they belonged and being able to see my actual desk and floor made me feel good" . Thats the way I also feel when my room is put in order, once I get started I gain the motivation I need to get the boring task done.
