Spring Cleaning: Organization Hacks for Busy Purdue Students

Hey Boilermakers! Spring is here, and it’s the perfect time to declutter and refresh your space, even with a packed Purdue schedule. Living near Purdue means you’re in the middle of everything, so let’s get your place organized and stress-free!

Tackling the Clutter When Life Gets Hectic

We know life as a Purdue student can get crazy. Here’s how to make cleaning less of a chore:

1. Start Small: Pick one drawer, one shelf, or even just your desk. 10 minutes of tidying is better than nothing!
2. Mini Cleaning Sessions: Set a timer for 15 minutes every few days. It’s quick, and it works.
3. Use Apps: Try apps like “Tody” or “Sweepy” to keep track of what needs to be done.
