Have a cleaning routine(常规). With a cleaning routine in place, you will always tidy up your room at a particular time often. If you can, sweep up your room every day in the morning. You can also do it every other day.    2    Doing this can make the process harder during exam time. In addition, you can take turns cleaning if you have a roommate.

Have a study plan. Being a student does not mean living without a plan. Therefore, having a study plan helps you stay in control of your study life    4    As a result, you are better able to clean your room if your life is organized.
