✓ Well, as a child I didn't really keep my things tidy, not to mention my room, because it's just very boring for a kid to tidy up their room. We just wanted to play instead.
The sentence describes past habits, so past tense should be used (didn't, wanted). Also use 'a kid' (not 'for for like a kid') and replace 'your' with 'their' for general reference. 'Wanna' is informal; use 'wanted to'. Remove duplicated 'for' and clarify structure.
× Well, for my task I have a compartment for each categories.
✓ Well, for my tasks I have a compartment for each category.
'Each' should be followed by a singular noun ('category'), and 'task' should be plural if referring generally to different tasks. Use 'tasks' and 'category' to match number agreement.
× Let's say there's one categories for books and then there's the other for notebook and then there's other for like just my stationery.
✓ Let's say there's one category for books, another for notebooks, and another for just my stationery.
Use singular 'category' after 'one' and plural 'notebooks' to match general items. Use parallel structure: 'one..., another..., and another...'. Include articles as needed ('another').
× So yeah, I use different like organizer and compartment.
✓ So yeah, I use different organizers and compartments.
Use plural nouns 'organizers' and 'compartments' to agree with 'different'. Remove filler 'like'. The original used singular nouns incorrectly.
× I think it's very necessary to be tidy because it helps you to think straight, because I think a messy space is just create more stress.
✓ I think it's very necessary to be tidy because it helps you think clearly; I think a messy space just creates more stress.
Use present simple for general truths ('helps', 'creates'). Remove extra 'to' after 'helps' and change 'create' to 'creates' to agree with singular subject 'a messy space'. Replace 'think straight' with 'think clearly' for natural phrasing.
× Although it's kind of like tiring to tidy up, but the end result is more reliving.
✓ Although tidying up can be tiring, the end result is more relieving.
Use gerund 'tidying up' as the subject, and avoid redundant 'although...but'. Use 'relieving' (adjective) not 'reliving'. 'Can be' is more natural than 'it's kind of like tiring'.
