× Cleanliness is next to godliness. So yes, I believe keeping things tidy would make us holy.
✓ Cleanliness is next to godliness, so yes, I believe keeping things tidy makes us feel virtuous.
Original uses 'would make us holy' which is awkward because 'would' implies conditional and 'holy' is extreme. Change to simple present 'makes' to match general truth and use 'feel virtuous' (adjective used correctly). Suggest using present simple for general statements and choose a more natural adjective. Use: for general truths use present simple; avoid modal 'would' unless expressing hypothetical.
× It means to say that it would make all the other things in our life orderly, organized.
✓ This means it makes other aspects of our life more orderly and organized.
Original 'It means to say that it would make' is wordy and mixes infinitive phrase with conditional 'would'. Use present simple 'means' for explanation and 'makes' for general effect. Also 'all the other things' is vague; 'other aspects' is clearer. Present participle not needed; sentence structure simplified.
× So yes, I like keeping things tidy.
✓ So yes, I like keeping things tidy.
Sentence is grammatically correct; present simple 'like' agrees with first person subject. No change needed.
× When I was a child, I was really a messy girl and I never cleaned my room.
✓ When I was a child, I was really messy and I never cleaned my room.
Use 'messy' without article 'a' when describing personal characteristic. 'A messy girl' is not ungrammatical but in spoken adult reflection 'I was really messy' is more natural. Past tense 'was' and 'never cleaned' are appropriate.
× Why? Because I always focused on playing games and going outside and doing outdoor activities that I forgot to help my mom clean my room.
✓ Because I was always focused on playing games and doing outdoor activities, I often forgot to help my mom clean my room.
Original uses multiple 'and' connectors awkwardly and mixes clauses causing clarity issues. Use past progressive 'was focused' to show ongoing past habit and 'forgot' for result; reorder to 'Because... , I often forgot...' for clear cause and effect. Also 'going outside and doing outdoor activities' is redundant; simplify.
× Hmm, I believe keeping my word and study space tidy is important because it makes me feel focused and relaxed and organized about the things that I need to do.
✓ I believe keeping my work and study space tidy is important because it makes me feel focused, relaxed, and organized about the things I need to do.
Original has 'keeping my word' which is a typo; should be 'work'. Use Oxford comma or commas to separate adjectives and ensure parallel structure 'focused, relaxed, and organized'. Remove unnecessary 'that' after 'things'. Present simple 'makes' is correct for general truth.
× And how do I do it? I give time or schedule my cleaning every weekend.
✓ How do I do it? I set aside time and schedule cleaning every weekend.
Original 'I give time' is unnatural; use 'set aside time'. 'Schedule my cleaning' is acceptable but combine to 'set aside time and schedule cleaning' for natural collocation. Present simple is correct for habitual actions.
× It is integral that being tidy is one thing to be considered.
✓ It is important to consider being tidy.
Original phrase 'It is integral that being tidy is one thing to be considered' is awkward and wordy. Use 'It is important to consider being tidy' or 'Being tidy is important.' This corrects sentence structure and conjunction/connector usage.
× Why? Because as I've mentioned a while back, it is next to godliness, it is next to orderliness.
✓ Because, as I mentioned earlier, it is next to godliness and next to orderliness.
Use 'earlier' instead of 'a while back' for concise speech; remove contraction 'I've' to match register. Combine clauses with 'and' rather than repeating 'it is'. This improves flow and adjective/adverb placement.
× And keeping things tidy helps you focused and relax and you can set clear goal.
✓ Keeping things tidy helps you stay focused and relaxed, and you can set clear goals.
Original mixes base verbs without correct forms: 'helps you focused and relax' should be 'helps you stay focused and relaxed' — use 'stay' plus past participle 'focused' and adjective 'relaxed'. Also pluralize 'goals'. Add comma before 'and' to join clauses. Present simple 'helps' is correct for general truths.
