Clean your room 'does' means to clean your own physical room but it has metaphysical impact to it . In a long term you are helping your mental conscious. You start by thinking what things should be in order in your room and how you will clean it up, your conscious will start indicating small things which needs fixing in the room and you fix it and bring them to order which adjacently helps you to be more responsible for yourself. Hence in a long run you end up being more alert of small things which might need fixing in your life (slaying the dragon in its lair before it reaches you) and you'd become skilled and responsible enough to tackle and solve complex challenges and will get your life in order.
