4. Use a hamper. A simple way to collect dirty clothes for laundry is by adding a hamper to your room. If you are reluctant to do so because you're worried it will take up to much room or look bad, hang it on the inside door of your closet. Out of sight, outt of mind!

5.Organize your cords! An inexpensive way to do this is by clipping binder clips to a flat surface and sticking your cords through the spaces to separate them. Labelling your cords with washi tape is also a simple easy way to remember which cord does what.

6.Hang eyewear on a hanger. If you have countless sunglasses laying around your room, organize them quickly and efficiently by simply hanging them on a clothes hanger!

7. Keep game pieces organized. I'm guilty of being one of those people who end up losing most of the pieces of board games over a couple years. A great and simple hack is to keep all the game pieces in a separate drawer of plastic bins if the cardboard box begins to fall apart. You can also put the game pieces and smaller knick-knacks in Ziploc bags to prevent them from disappearing!

8. Label everything. Labelling everything in your room can become tedious, so do it for just the necessary thing! Label non-transparent boxes with what's inside so you can quickly find objects whenever needed.

9. Declutter your desk! Clear everything off your desk and wipe it down with cleaning wipes to disinfect everything. Then only put necessary items back onto your desk. I would personally recommend adding a plant, even a small one, onto your workspace. This helps boost your creativity, mood and ability to focus while adding a cute pop of color!

10. Vacuum! We started this list with a simple organizational hack and we're going to end off with one as well. Vacuuming is arguably one of the easiest ways to clean a room, even though it may also be one of the most tedious ones. Just think on the bright side - your feet will get to grace a delightful clean floor when you're finished!

3. Put away your seasonal clothes. The frigid winter is finally creeping to a close and spring is beginning to peek through. To eliminate the amount of bulk in your storage space, vacuum pack seasonal clothes you won't need for a while - don’t forget to LABEL all your packages!

2. Have you ever stood in front of your closet trying to pick out an outfit for what seems like an eternity? Make things easier for yourself, by putting a Clothes Donation Bin in your room. Every week, attempt to add one article of clothing to the bin and when it is full, donate it!

1. Make your bed. This is the typical answer given whenever we are pondering what we can do to spiff up our rooms. However, the simple act of making a bed will create the illusion of a neat room. Changing up bed covers and pillows can also be a fun way to decorate for the fast approaching spring season!
