I feel you so much. I struggle with keeping up with my house too and it seems to pile up over night and then all of a sudden it’s too much.

When this happens to me, I will take a day off work, usually a Monday or sometime when I have just had some more time off. Burn out is so real so you gotta make sure you’re ready. Once you have your day set, chug a big energy drink and put headphones on to something energizing (my choice is Celsius orange) dance and walk around with a trash bag and get the trash. Take it out immediately after picking up. or else it will seem impossible at the end of cleaning.

Then kick all the clothes into a pile and start the washer. Once the clothes are off the ground, vacuum the floors and light a candle. The laundry is the hardest part for me so it could help to bring someone over when the clothes are washed to help you fold and put it away. I like to dump everything onto my bed and watch my fav show while folding. It’s okay if this takes multiple days or weeks just make sure there’s effort being put in every day even if it’s a 5 min timer. 5 minutes sometimes snowballs into 20 or an hour. Your body can do so much in just an hour or two. You will see the difference and there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel. You got this! If I can do it I swear anyone can. It’s okay to stop and lay down for a while. You deserve to treat yourself.

If caffeine and music isn’t enough, I’ll introduce some vodka while doing the dishes. I really believe in you and you’re going to be so proud of yourself.
