× Most of the time I put things in a proper space and being in a clean and a tight space gives a sense of satisfaction to me and also I feel more comfortable and relaxed.
✓ Most of the time I put things in their proper place, and being in a clean and tidy space gives me a sense of satisfaction; I also feel more comfortable and relaxed.
The phrase 'being in a clean and a tight space' used 'being' correctly but 'tight' is the wrong adjective for tidy and 'a' before uncountable idea is unnecessary. Also 'proper space' is better expressed as 'their proper place'. Use parallel structure and natural collocations: 'clean and tidy space' and 'gives me a sense of satisfaction'. Replace 'to me' with the more natural 'me'. Ensure punctuation to separate clauses. Suggestion: use common adjective pairs (clean and tidy), use 'their proper place' for belongings, and maintain parallel clause structure.
× Umm, to be honest with you, when I was a child, uh, I always umm, left my toys and books laying and uh, I liked playing more than organizing and cleaning the room, umm.
✓ To be honest, when I was a child I often left my toys and books lying around, and I liked playing more than organizing and cleaning my room.
The verb 'left' followed by 'laying' is incorrect; the correct participle is 'lying' (verb + -ing form but specifically 'lie' -> 'lying'). 'Always left ... lying around' is awkward; 'often' is more natural. Also use 'my room' instead of 'the room' for possession. Remove filler words. Suggestion: replace 'laying' with 'lying' after 'left' and use 'lying around' to indicate disorder; prefer 'often' to 'always' for natural frequency.
× Uh, after work or studying, I uh, clean my table with the tissue and also I, uh, put everything, uh, in, in a proper space and back, uh, where it helps me to know, umm, where everything is.
✓ After work or studying, I clean my desk with a tissue and put everything back in its proper place so I know where everything is.
'After work or studying' is acceptable, but 'clean my table with the tissue' is better as 'clean my desk with a tissue'. 'Put everything ... back' should be combined as 'put everything back in its proper place'. Use 'its' for possessive reference to 'place'. Remove redundant fillers and reorder for clarity. Suggestion: use 'desk' instead of 'table' if referring to study space, use 'a tissue' not 'the tissue', and place verbs in correct sequence: 'put everything back'.
× Yes, definitely it helps you to save your time. Also you know everything where is and you feel more comfortable. I think organizing things and being tidy is with all for everyone.
✓ Yes, definitely it helps you save time. Also, you know where everything is and you feel more comfortable. I think being organized and tidy is good for everyone.
'Helps you to save your time' is wordy; use 'helps you save time'. The clause 'you know everything where is' has incorrect word order; correct order is 'you know where everything is'. 'Organizing things and being tidy is with all for everyone' is ungrammatical and unclear: use 'being organized and tidy is good for everyone'. Subject-verb agreement: 'organizing and being tidy' as a combined idea takes singular 'is'. Suggestion: use natural word order for indirect questions ('where everything is'), simplify 'helps you save time', and use 'good for everyone' to express benefit.
