I'm struggling to keep my apartment clean. Right now, its pretty bad... Piles of stuff, Trash on the floor, trash in the trash can not taken out. Dirty dishes/pans in the kitchen, messy-ish bathroom.

I'm looking for methods to help me Clean it, and Keep it clean. I'm thinking of doing the ol' tumblr "Unfuck" if thats still a thing, and doing 30mins of cleaning to 15 mins break. (To start), as I'm super ADHD and have trouble focusing.

I have a few different suggestions:

  • My bottom line is that messy is ok, dirty is not. Start by getting the trash off the floor and taking out the garbage. Do you recycle? Compost? These may be options that could help you keep your place neater and cleaner.
  • Tackle things one room at a time and give yourself breaks. If it helps, listen to music while you work.
  • Marie Kondo and her Konmari method have helped a lot of people. She has a book, The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up as well as a Netflix show. I think she prefers organizing by category, not by room, but whatever works for you!
  • I’ve gotten better with my chores because of thinking about it from a cottagecore outlook tbh, like how nice it is to take care of your home.
  • Do you have enough storage? Try to keep things in their places as you go along, that way it doesn’t build up into one big mess that you’ll eventually have to work on. Become someone who disdains clutter.
  • Good luck, your place is going to look great and you’re going to be so satisfied when it’s better!
