you feel like a wreck? your room is a disaster? Let's fix it.
This process sucks to do and it can take a long time to get your room fully clean/refreshed, but this method works for me. Please note that you can take many breaks in between these steps
turn off your lights/fans/any noise- if you are like me, even thinking about dealing with your room can give you a headache
put all your clean clothes in piles according to where they need to live (i will fold my pants and lay out my shirts so i can put them on hangers more easily during this process)
now that a lot of your floor space is probably visable, get all the trash- I've been mia for a while bc i forgot about some food in my room and now i have *mice* which is awful- so get your trash out of the room
make a pile of things that need to live not in your room- mugs, plates, suitcase- whatever it is, make a pile
now that you've stopped looking at your clothing for a while, put it away (and put your laundry)
make piles of everything- clothing pile, paper pile- making a pile means it is condensed but you don't have to deal with it right now, which can be helpful
put your piles away
now that the floor is clean (hopefully), take some time to vacuum/mop- it does a lot
now change your clothes into smth a little fancier than your sweats- vacuuming is a workout and you are undoubtedly a little sweaty
now we start on tidying your surfaces- put things where they belong, and focus on one thing at a time- i will focus on only my vanity, then only my desk, then only my dresser- it makes it less stressy
wipe everything down with a damp cloth
make your bed
if you are feeling funky spray a nice scent in the air
now go take a nap or chug some ice water

If you've been living in pandamonium
You may be a trash panda if you're waking up exhausted by your room and other things too probably (This is not a diagnosis, please seek medical advice if you experience symptoms such as lil Grabbies and a very soft tail.) If you're a trash panda, first, I'm so proud of you for continuing to be so punk rock in the face of your mental and physical illnesses, it's really important that you know I see you. (If you're not a trash panda I hope any of this is useful to you as well.)
Trash pandas usually do their snacking in bed or on the move, and they usually fall into a terrible cycle of not having the energy to deal with a situation that's constantly and actively draining their energy. Probably nocturnal by nature but forced by society to adhere to an unnatural "day person" schedule, and definitely overwhelmed, to the extent of possibly even feeling numb all the time due to sensory overload.
You've got a lot of garbage tho, and if you want, you can keep reading and I'll give you some coaching. If you're not in the mood but you're thinking about it just bookmark this or something ok?
Ok. What I want you to do is get a trash bag right now. It can be one you've already started on, or it can be an empty one. Put it up somewhere within arm's reach*, and plop your booty on the floor if you're able to.
*Use your reach extender if you have one and use it regularly. Don't go looking for yours if it isn't EASILY accessible to you, and if you don't have one, there's a good one right here for like fifteen bucks.
If I've just blown your mind and you hadn't even considered getting a reach aid (in the sense that perhaps you are disabled and it hadn't occurred to you that a reach aid would be helpful to you, and that it would be immensely so and you need time to process that), I love you so much, please order one, and gleefully use it as a tool to clean a few days to weeks later when it comes and you're not in unreasonable physical pain cleaning your room. As long as it helps you clean and it DOESN'T end up in your closet and never used and doesn't help you at all and becomes a part of the problem. Take what works and leave the rest, okay?
I love you, now say it back, but out loud, to yourself.
If for any reason you can't put yourself on the floor, easily reach the floor, ask for help, forget the floor for now. Fuck the floor. It didn't get messy overnight, it'll be there tomorrow. I want you to focus on your desk or your bed or your table instead as you've already started and are at risk of losing momentum and as long as you're detrashing any horizontal surface you can reach it will impact your eyes and brain a lot.
If you simply don't have floor space to sit on the floor because of Things In The Floor and that is your only limiting factor to getting down to tushie town, meet the others here by sitting where you normally do and just grab. Grab anything that food came out of. You're not dirty. You're not. Your room is dirty and you are not your room. You are not your actions, your actions are a reflection of your well-being and your state of mind. Put on some YouTube, listen to music, start a podcast or finish an audiobook.
Take frequent breaks for food, water, and hiding in the bathroom for as long as you need, but when you're in your room, you're probably going to be thinking about your trash anyway, so please promise me you'll stop enabling yourself to spend that entire time feeling ashamed of your trash.
If cleaning was used as a punishment for you at any point then you're allowed to feel resentful over your trash's existence, so please be compassionate about your resistance to cleaning. You deserve to walk or drive across your floor without hearing a crinkle or feeling dirt on your feet or having to worry about falling over, especially if it bothers you that you can't.
You might find or recover other things that you don't want to keep on the floor. Pick them up, dust them off, and ask yourself if you put it with the trash because it doesn't actually fill any void for you or if you lost it under the trash and already know where it belongs in your home, and put it where it goes - for now, in a "keep" pile behind you where you're sitting.
When the sphere of space around you is clean, take a moment to be FUCKIN PROUD and do some stretches, and congratulate yourself. Drink some water and decide to stop for now or carry on. Take a picture!!, Look at it for inspiration if that spot gets messy in the future again.
ANYTHING you do at this point is doing one thing and one thing only: giving you a win. Just feel the confidence of knowing you can do this, you really really can. You're allowed to do this in chunks instead of all at once if you allow yourself to. Your space is wherever you put your body and you can do whatever you need to do in that space and I mean that.
If youve been dragon your feet through your clothes
You're a dragon if you don't have a problem with trash in your room, but you do have a problem with clothes, stuffed animals, cords, complain of clutter and other items you really do value being piled on the ground or your bed. It's only really a problem if you're in danger of tripping and hurting yourself or if your treasures make it hard for you to sleep comfortably. (Trash pandas, if you've made it this far, can I hold your hand for 2 seconds so I can cheer with you by throwing our fists to the sky??, Fucking woohoo my guy)
These are your things and you're not bad to or discarding or disrespecting them when you let them end up on the floor and lost in your bedsheets, you're just tired. You're doing a good job and you probably just need more shelves and boxes or box shaped shelves or baskets, and you need to clean your bed off long enough to get one (1) good night of sleep before you start to tackle your room!!!! I don't care if you dump the contents of your bed on the floor just so it so you can starfish. In the morning, you're gonna put your things on the bed again and just get to work. Start with the dishes and step or drive over or around your piles without judgement on your way to and from the kitchen. These are your brain piles man, so let self love win against shame paralysis.
When the dishes are in the sink or dishwasher or on the kitchen counter and not in your bedroom, begin organizing your depressuon den piles into intentional piles. Give the piles mental labels, just a flash word.
Clean clothes
Dirty clothes
Trash
Toys
Paper
Hobby a
Hobby b
Hair ties
Cat toys
Chargers
Make these piles working from left to right. Stop when you need to. Play on your phone for a few minutes or take a food break or a shower and when you come back to the cleaner semicircle of your bedroom, decide to either 1) continue or 2) be done for the day and whichever you choose, just be gentle with yourself. You are mighty and I am proud of you. Your life didn't get messy overnight. Choosing to clean your room when it's THIS hard to clean at all is a really good thing to do for yourself.
When you ARE actively working on your room, I want you to promise me you'll invest your time in making piles and then finding containers for those piles.
Your bedroom being cluttered is. Not. A. Moral. Falling. On your part. Being good or bad at cleaning doesn't make you a good or bad person.

Helpful Life Hacks: BATHROOM HYGIENE HACKS
Tumblr media
As a man who has spent more than a few decades on this earth, I can say with certainty that one of the most important rooms in any home is the bathroom. It's where you start your day and where you end it, and a clean, organized bathroom can make a big difference in your overall quality of life. In this piece, I'm going to share some bathroom hygiene hacks that I've picked up over the years that will help you keep your bathroom clean, fresh, and organized without breaking the bank or taking up too much of your valuable time.
Tumblr media
Cleaning Your Bathroom Quickly and Efficiently
Let's start with the basics: cleaning your bathroom. Nobody likes cleaning their bathroom, but it's a necessary evil if you want to keep it looking and smelling fresh. Here are some hacks for cleaning your bathroom quickly and efficiently:
Use a cleaning caddy: Invest in a cleaning caddy to keep all of your cleaning supplies in one place. This way, you won't waste time searching for cleaning products when you need them.
Tumblr media
Clean as you go: Instead of waiting until your bathroom is a disaster zone, try to clean up messes as they happen. For example, wipe down the sink after you brush your teeth or clean up any spills immediately.
Use natural cleaners: Instead of using harsh chemicals, try using natural cleaners like vinegar, baking soda, and lemon juice. They're cheap, effective, and won't harm the environment.
Tumblr media
Keep a squeegee handy: Use a squeegee to wipe down your shower walls and door after each use. This will prevent mold and mildew from building up and save you time and effort in the long run.
Hacks for Keeping Your Toilet Bowl Clean and Fresh
Let's be honest: nobody likes cleaning their toilet bowl. But it's a necessary evil if you want to keep your bathroom smelling fresh and clean. Here are some hacks for keeping your toilet bowl clean and fresh:
Use a toilet bowl cleaner: Invest in a good toilet bowl cleaner and use it regularly to keep your toilet bowl clean and fresh. You can also make your own cleaner by mixing baking soda and vinegar.
Use a toilet brush: Use a toilet brush to scrub the inside of your toilet bowl. Make sure to clean under the rim and in the trapway.
Tumblr media
Add a toilet bowl cleaner to your tank: You can also add a toilet bowl cleaner to your tank to keep your toilet bowl clean and fresh with every flush.
Use a homemade toilet cleaner: If you prefer natural cleaners, try making your own toilet cleaner by mixing baking soda, castile soap, and essential oils.
Creative Ways to Organize Your Bathroom Essentials
Now that we've covered cleaning your bathroom and keeping your toilet bowl clean and fresh, let's talk about organizing your bathroom essentials. Here are some creative ways to keep your bathroom essentials organized:
Use a shower caddy: Use a shower caddy to keep your shampoo, conditioner, and body wash organized and within easy reach.
Tumblr media
Use a spice rack: Use a spice rack to store your nail polish or other small toiletries.
Tumblr media
Use a hanging organizer: Use a hanging organizer to store your hair dryer, curling iron, and other hair styling tools.
Use a tension rod: Use a tension rod under your sink to hang cleaning supplies or store extra towels.
Tumblr media
Keeping your bathroom clean, fresh, and organized doesn't have to be a chore. With these bathroom hygiene hacks, you can save time, save money, and enjoy a clean and inviting bathroom that you'll be proud to show off to your guests.

I intend to quit procrastinating today to get my room in order—you’d have thought a tornado came through—and I’ve found that it’s the perfect time to get a bunch of war board tasks completed in DAI, seeing as how some of them take hours and I’m trying to get all of the minor tasks completed before moving on to bigger plot points. The critters are probably sick of listening to the war room track, but it’s keeping me on the task at hand well enough.
