Or am I the only one?! My house is (generally) neat and clean, obviously there's messy times but it's important to me, but my room.. huge mess, never seem to have the time to properly clean it, I like to have nice bedding and furniture etc but I wish it had the priority of the dining room etc..
I guess I'm looking for tips if anyone else has this downpat or if you can relate and tell me what works for you? I hate going to sleep every night in messy room but at that point just too tired to clean it...

Hi Gitte Vacht..
I’m answer to your questions.. we make our beds every morning.. I dust the furniture in our room twice a week along with the Venetian blinds.. I change and wash our linens once a week.. I vacuum our room once a week.. we put our clothes in the hamper after every time we change.. I open the windows every morning for fresh air.. we also have plug-ins with a nice scent that keeps the room alive.. I know it’s not the best, but it keeps my mind sane.. we don’t have chairs or ottomans or a couch in our room so this way there are no dumping areas if you know what I mean.. snd my husband and I can’t stand messes do this helps with clutter..
wishing you Hatzlocha and a beautiful week

I’m the opposite. My house can be upside down and a complete disaster but I need my room to be neat. It’s the one space in my home that we can escape the chaos.
We also don’t let any kids into our room which is helpful.

Do you have more days in your week than me? How do you have time to do all this?? I wish I can do that!!
But I agree making the beds every morning definitely helps, here and there I get inspired and make it for a few days

I can’t say this is always the case, but it is certainly my goal.
I try to have my room to be peaceful and neat so I have somewhere calm to work and think.

Years ago I decided to keep one room in the house company-ready at all times. As the living room is the first room you come to when you walk in the door, that room was it. It was not so much for company as for my sanity: I wanted a place where I could always shep neatness nachas when the general chaos started getting to me. More effective than therapy and cheaper, too.
Eventually I decided I was also tired of our room being a mess all the time. The beds being the biggest items in there, I started making my bed every morning, and asked dh, who gets up later, to do the same. Makes a huge difference in the way the room looks and in my frame of mind.
The room isn't and never will be fit for a magazine photo shoot--no two pieces of furniture match, dh shoes are always all over the place, the chair is a parking lot for clothes that have been worn briefly but aren't ready to be laundered (I don't put such things back in the closet or drawers)--but the simple expedient of making the beds every day makes the difference between a depressing chazzershtall and an acceptable dwelling, at least by my liberal standards.
The stove is impossible to keep clean, and so are the kitchen and bathroom floors, even with frequent mopping. But messy, I work hard not to be. The apartment is not precisely palatial, and in tight quarters you
have to be neat in order to function. There's simply not enough space to work if stuff is lying helter- skelter all over the place.

Yes and no. I do try once a week to clean it up and make it the cleanest room. In my brain my room has to be spotless because it's my קודש הקדשים. I hardly ever let my cleaning lady to it because I consider it a privilege to clean the room where one of the biggest mitzvah is done.

It's the neatest bc it's really clear what belongs in there. Beds and clothing(dresser and closet).
The living room is the worst bc it's a dumping ground of items that don't have a home.
