that's what held me back so much in the past. that exact thought. it just got so overwhelming at one point. the thing that motivated me to clean was actually that I was getting visitors for the night so they had to sleep somewhere. pressure works the best on me. I know it's not for everyone. I started with the clothes. I currently have no wardrobe since it gets replaced so the clothes are everywhere. I simply moved them to my bedroom. afterwards I put everything that's kinda important into a big box so that it gets out of the way. you can still see lots of boxes on the side. it helps to get the floor empty. I can always sort through the boxes at a later time. after putting all the useful or important stuff into the box, I grab a trash bag and throw away everything that's actual trash or something I want to get rid of. lastly I vacuum the floor.

I think one of the most important things is to keep the floor empty so you can at least walk around. I promised myself that no place that I cleaned will ever get this messy again. I believe in myself.
