It is not uncommon to find clutter in your ASU off-campus housing within the first few weeks of the semester. After all, you are getting right down to notes, assignments, and studying. Use the following tips to ensure you are living in a clutter-free student apartment.
Remove Trash as You Go
The best thing you can do is clean up the trash right away. It is easy to tell yourself that you can pick it up later, but the clutter of scrap paper, snack packages, and unwanted mail accumulates fast. It is better to keep a trashcan in your workspace at all times. This way, you can throw out your trash immediately rather than allowing it to build up throughout the day.
Substitute Paper for Digital
Another way to keep your ASU off-campus housing clutter-free is to substitute paper for digital whenever it is possible. For example, you can save the rough draft and final copy of your essay on a cloud-based storage solution that can be accessed from any device. Once you turn in your assignment or project, you can toss the paper and keep the digital copy.
Look Into Digital Textbooks
In addition to the digital classwork and projects, you can also look into digital textbooks. The age of technology makes it easier to borrow or purchase the textbooks you need for your classes. It is easier to carry and store digital textbooks on your mobile device than it is to store several traditional textbooks.
