1st step: Plan it, sort it, clean it, throw it

Ok, since I am inspired & pumped to get this project started, the first thing I wanna do is planning on my schedule. The breakdown looks simple & workable but there is a chance I might not commit to the schedule perfectly. I am working it in a tight budget (I am putting aside maximum RM250 per month) + limited time + short attention span, I may take longer time than usual to get the work done.

First & Second Month (mid Oct - end November)
Clean & sort
- hanging closet
- the folded clothes in the closet
- the 3 drawers & dressing table (houses a lot of stuffs & CDs)
- Go back kampung coz Raya Haji
Clean & sort
- the big bookcase
- the smaller bookcases (2)
Clean & throw/relocate the "rainbow drawers"
Clean the "dead" zone

Sketch & Find inspirations
Measure the room for the actual workable size
Plan the location of the things

3rd Month (Dec)

10th month

11th month

12th month

For the first 2 months or less, I am focusing on trying to sort out EVERYTHING in the room. There are some stuffs I need to get rid/relocate (my comics obviously belongs to the game/living area), clothes to donate, papers to shred, decorations to sort etc etc. There's also the issue of the "dead zone", which I rarely touch in the room. It is the corner of the 2nd computer area, because the table is too small so it left a space abt 30cm wide. I might deal with the place last.

What am I gonna do first is to clean up the closet that have most of my clothes & collection of soft toys. Yes, I still keep my soft toys in my closet, they need to be dusted & washed (especially my Fav One eyed Bear, Rabbit & Mona(doll)). After the clothes department done, I'll move onto the books, papers & stationary, since I 'm once an art student and now a graphic designer, there's a lot of left over materials from my final projects. I'll think of something to reuse them. Then, I'll move the figurines & store their boxes on the top closet

Lastly, the dead zone
