Trying to balance school, work, social life, and self-care time can be challenging. On top of all that, you’re also trying to keep your space from looking like a tornado just passed by. Keeping a space clean can be overwhelming, but I’m here to share 3 tricks that I use, or at least try to use, everyday.
Trick #1: Make Your Bed As Soon As You Wake Up
Making your bed first thing in the morning automatically crosses something off your to-do list. Getting in the habit of making your bed mot only makes you feel accomplished early in the day, but it also increases your productivity for the rest of the day. By having a made bed, it immediately makes your bedroom look cleaner. A quote from Amalia Home collection that resonates with this trick is…
“If you make your bed every morning you will have accomplished the first task of the day. It will give you a small sense of pride and it will encourage you to do another task and another and another.”

Trick #2: Invest in Hidden Storage
Storage is an amazing must have in any household, it keeps all the clutter organized neatly. What is even better is HIDDEN storage, no one can see your mess of papers or random things lying around your home. Some hidden storage that many people have started to use are things like a bathroom mirror case as seen in the picture above. This keeps all the products neatly tucked away and out of sight for your guests. Other hidden features can include under the bed storage, living in a dorm, I have tons of drawers or boxes that keep extra clothes or cleaning products that I don’t want out in the open. There are endless ways that you can hide all your mess from anyone’s sight, get creative with it!
Trick #3: Designate a Day to Cleaning
A trick that has always worked for me is dedicating an entire day to cleaning. Living in a dorm it can get pretty messy, so what my roommate and I have deciding is that every Sunday we set aside about an hour or two to clean the room. This includes dusting, swiffering, putting on new sheets, doing laundry, cleaning our mirror, and washing dishes. Having this time every week allows us to get ourselves and our room in order for the upcoming week. Now that I am getting older, it sounds kind of weird, but I am enjoying cleaning. a lot more. If you hate cleaning like I sure did in the beginning of the school year, throw on some tunes, at full blast of course, and get cleaning!!
