Images 1-3 are before, as you can tell. Images 4-8 are after. I need a long vacation after this. Bonus: kitty cameo.

Pics 1-3: current Pics 4-6: before Bonus pic 7: the amount of tissues behind my bed when I moved it.

I've made so much progress today. I have a plan in place for how to keep it cleaner, and to finish the last few things. I'm an adult who lives with their parents, so I've accumulated a lot of stuff, and unfortunately the closet will likely stay a bit cluttered, but I can make peace with that.

I have to say thank you so much to everyone in this community. It has been years since my room has been clean like this. I found stuff I'd bought BEFORE COVID while cleaning, just laying on the floor in bags or under my bed. I feel amazing. (My back doesn't but it'll heal 😅)

Thank you again everyone!!!

Long story short, we have a very shed heavy dog and all the hair gets sucked under the bed. As you can see lots o’ tumbleweeds. Also, how all this stuff gets under our bed is truly baffling. Like, I get it slips beneath the headboard and footboard, but it’s wild!

My husband and I tag teamed it. All in all it took about an hour start to finish because we realized our mop vacuum is toast on the battery 🥲

I posted yesterday about some progress I made, including changing the mattress and making my bed. I slept so well!!!

So well that I slept through when I usually take my meds and woke up with a severe headache, lol.

I did manage to clean the bathroom and get rid of more trash today.

In my area, we have different days for different types of trash, and Monday is bulk trash, so the old mattress is going out tomorrow. Also planning to tie up some bags and see if they’ll take those.

First 3 pics are after, last 3 pics are before starting to clean

How do you guys start/stay motivated unfucking your habitats? My Fiancee and I have been chipping away at this, but it's been hard cause we're recovering from being sick. Any tips?

(Also, pic is a tiny example. I just love my dog!)

Here’s the bedroom progress repost because I posted a picture that had somethings in it that weren’t needed. But this was 2 hours of work in 30 Minute intervals with short breaks

I really struggle with the most basic tasks because trauma. I’ve spent so much time taking care of everyone else that it is really difficult for me to take care of me.

BUT today, I unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher, traded my mattress for one that has scarcely been used, made my bed, and gathered up quite a bit of trash. I’m proud of what I accomplished today

I have a very bad habit of biting my nails in anxiety or stress situations I really want to badlyy remove this habit and have normal nails After biting my nails become so small .. i bite till i feel any painnn😭 I tried my best to stop biting but ended up biting again and again

I have been doing ok at keeping the house clean since last time I checked in. I need to do another check in here starting tonight and tomorrow to address cleaning before company arrives late Sunday.
-2 storage areas need major cleaning help -the wash that piled up as I need someone to check the dryer. -take down the tree - sweep, mop, scrub, dust…..

It helps me to commit to a certain number of hours, so I give my word to all on this sub to devote at least 6 hours to cleaning between tonight and Sunday. Ok, now if I don’t do it, I’ll feel guilty. … it worked the last time so keeping fingers crossed it does again 🤞. I will check back as I get stuff done. Thank you for reading and the support, and happy weekend!

Plus a bonus after picture that I forgot to take a before of but I’ve been pushing this area off for the longest as there is so much stuff that needs to be put away but I didn’t know where. It’s been a wreck since before Christmas and got worse after the holidays so I’m glad I finally tackled it! Now I just have to take a ton of stuff down to the garage!

I know I can google this, but I want to hear for YOU! Any vacuum recommendations? What have you used that you love, and what have you not been happy with?

For me, I'm looking for something with the following criteria:

• Less than $100
• Small / Easy Storage (I don't have much closet space)
• Strong Sucking power
• Good battery life, if cordless
• Cordless would be nice, but corded is fine too
• Works with medium-short carpet that collects a lot of dust

It’s the little things! Before and after. More to come 🤞🏻 🤗

I just found this sub after I was recommended the book, and I truly do need to unfuck my space. But where do I start? There's so much that needs doing and even looking at it overwhelms me. There's not a place where I can start that doesn't look super overwhelming. Any tips or tricks?

Set a 15 minute timer. Anything that doesn't fit back in there is going in the garbage. Success!

This sticky residue that obviously attracts mold has been here since we moved in (which is 5 years ago) - we rent, and it’s one of those things that you just don’t wanna put effort into…but after the million-th time cleaning the mold off I was like enough! I first tried with hot soapy water..did not work. And then I thought of using my clothes steamer which worked great, along with like a wallpaper scraper.

I really struggle with having an untidy and unclean house, but I also struggle with depression so it’s like a spiral. I have written a list of “your not bored, you’re just stuck, here’s a list of shit to do that will literally make you feel better” and this was the first thing on my list today.

I know usually people post their whole rooms but this was big on my un-fuck list. Took me about an hour, and the fact I’ve seen it and hated it every day I opened the curtains it seems so silly now that I’ve only just tackled it - as well as it being a health hazard.

So I have ADHD and I struggle with overconsumption with very little space. I wanted to start a post where people leave their advice and ask for advice where they need it!

My advice: - set a timer! I like smaller increments to keep me on track and I try to get as much done as possible - take pictures of one section at a time and don’t move to another area until you have taken a completed picture of the area you just cleaned - if you have a lot to clean and you really want to actually get in there and deep clean and declutter, don’t try and do it in one day. Set tasks for each day and tackle them one at a time! When you look at your entire house or room that needs to get done it’s so easy to become overwhelmed so separate it! Rome wasn’t built in a day! - find something to play in the background that isn’t distracting. I personally only like to listen to music when I really feel like it will help but I like to listen to podcasts, or YouTube videos with story times or videos where I can clean along with them. I also really like playing something I’ve seen a million times so I will play bobs burgers since I know what’s happening without watching! - burn a candle! I burn them all the time so they don’t help me get in that cleaning mood anymore but I buy linen scented candles to make the space clean and trick my brain into wanting it to look how it smells!

Where I need advice: I live in a studio apartment above a garage and I have a lot of stuff especially decorations as I’m very much a maximalist and I hate blank walls and open spaces but sometimes I have too much stuff and not enough space. With that being said here’s where I need advice: - how to I get past the feeling of “I may need this one day” even if it hasn’t been used in 2 years (this goes for clothes, kitchen utensils, and a little bit of everything) - how do you motivate yourself to start cleaning? I struggle starting then get into a good flow then towards the middle or the very end I lose my motivation and never finish - how do you deal with the miscellaneous items you don’t know where to put but definitely don’t want to get rid of? This is part of why I struggle cleaning certain areas is because I have baskets of miscellaneous items that I want/need to keep but they don’t have a home and trying to find a home for it is such a struggle!

Hopefully this helps me as well as others! Take a piece of advice if it’s helpful and leave some advice!

Hello everyone! This is a weekend megathread for those small updates, accountability requests, and success stories that you want to send out to the universe!

Maybe ones that don’t require a full post but that still deserve some recognition, plans made today for over the coming days, or solicitations for suggestions on how to complete your intended tasks!

Still feel free to make absolutely any posts that you want, but if you prefer a smaller-format update option here it is! I want to encourage participation in whatever form it takes :)

ALSO!!! Pictures are enabled in comments so feel free to add pics of your area to tackle of your progress if you please :)

Ever since Christmas I’ve let my snack cart go to shit and I was sick of looking at it! While it may not look much better it’s way more organized

I didnt think to take a proper before pic, so the one I have is definitely more focused on my kitten, but she made sure to steal the show in the after too 😅. The floor was covered in boxes that still needed unpacking from moving 2 months ago, and all of my clothing that had been worn once was in a pile on top of the boxes. Now my cat has her shelves up to get to the window, I finally have curtains for privacy, and my mirror has a small hanging rack on the back for my clothes that have been lightly used! It's from Ikea, and I'm in love!

My partner and I have separate blankets, because we have different temperature/texture preferences, and one of us always ends up stealing the blankets when we share.

Gotta do it, gotta do it. I hate laundry so much
