As a fellow ENFP who’s mother was a personal organizer for years let me help.
1. Grab large trash bags. One for trash ,one for give away
2.Make your bed
3. Throw all clothes on it. Hang up clean, throw laundry in hamper. Once clothing is put away remove hamper from room if possible.
4. Start throwing things away. Trash, bring any plates/ cups to kitchen.
5. If anything in the room belongs somewhere else in the house do that next.
6. Set a timer and take a break, no more than 20 minutes, drink some water and relax.
7. Get a bin or bag or someone to put the “I don’t know where this goes” start placing the random items in it. Things that you need but don’t have a home for. We will find a place for it later.
8. Start putting the things away that you do know where they go. Books on the shelf ect.
9. Your bed should still be made a clear, start using it for piles. Pick 2 or 3 catalogs to start with. Like papers, hobbies ect.
10. Keeps paper near by to write down what you need storage wise.
11. Start putting things in that give away bag. If you haven’t touched it in over a year and don’t see a use for it give it away.
Once everting is put away get that random bag and find a place for it.
Tips. Start in the morning, a good room organization can take all day, don’t start at 8pm, you will get tired and lose motivation.
Once it is all clean and organized keep it clean but spending 15 minutes at night putting everything away.
Good luck
