My Super Messy Bedroom! also my work area Part I

The Bedroom:
The actual uncleaned state of my room
Bedroom cleaning at my age is a challenging activity. One of the major hurtles I had to overcome was actually caring about it being clean. Having a clan bedroom was something that just wasn't important to me so forcing myself to actually clean my room took some effort. The first method of cleaning I tried was taking cleaning little by little. This method was a complete failure because it really wasn't a necessary activity in my day. The next method I tried mimicked the method I used to clean my bathroom, which was shoving all the clutter I had around my room onto the floor. Surprisingly this was not at all motivating as far as cleaning my room, due to the fact that the floor already had so much visual clutter on it. So i took some drastic measures.
Step 1:
Everything shoved outside the door into the hallway
Because of the ineffectiveness of my previous attempts I took inspiration from the book Switch and I changed the situation that I was in so that I would be motivated to clean my room. The first thing I did was take just about everything from any surface in my room and shoved it in the hall outside my room. 
Cautionary Tip:
make sure you have all of the cleaning supplies you need to clean your room inside your room before removing all of the items. Excess buildup in hallways can cause path blockage not allowing access to the outside world.
Step 2:
I cleaned all of the surfaces in my room with a vacuum cleaner, it is appropriate to be as liberal as necessary with the vacuum because it is the main way to remove dust from the room. I used the vacuum on the walls, in the lights, on picture frames, etcetera, just go crazy with this.
