The story

I’ve been struggling with this for a long time. I didn’t even realize it was such a big issue until I go home and come back, realize that the room is mess (so mess). It wasnt like this few months before.

I find it really hard to organize or decide where to keep things. There’s no space, and so many unused items lying around. It’s mentally exhausting to sort and categorize everything. I try, but I only manage to organize a small portion before getting tired. I honestly don’t know what to do. Clothes, bins, paper bags, food items, storage boxes. :(

I struggle to organize/decide on what/where to keep things - There’s no space and so many unused items lying around here, Its mentally exhaustive to decide to categorize/sort :'(. I keep trying to do this but, whenever I start to organize a small portion, I get tired and its a cycle - :/ Clothes, Paper bags, food items, storage boxes - Everything is messy now , whole room is cluttered and its tiring to look at - Kinda like I am in a pile of things. I feel _____ to see the current condition.

Man, I totally get it! It can feel like you're drowning in all this stuff... Maybe try tackling one category at a time?? like just dealing with clothes or paper bags first? That way you won't get overwhelmed and might actually see some progress, step by step?! It's all about those small wins, ya know? Keep pushing through, you'll get there!

dude, i've been there. dealing with clutter feels like a never-ending nightmare. sometimes it's about letting go of things that don't serve you; ever heard "less is more"? try the one-in, one-out rule: for every item you bring in, another has to go. it helps keep things balanced! good luck! 🤞

sometimes just a quick sweep of the essentials can make a world of difference; ever tried turning on some music and setting a timer?

Clutter is such a pain, right? 😩 Sometimes it feels like things just multiply when we’re not looking. Maybe try setting a timer and only organize for that short period? Like 10 or 15 minutes max? it might keep you from getting as burned out; I've found that doing little bursts makes it feel less daunting. Also, maybe ask a friend to help you sort through stuff? A second pair of hands can make it more manageable! Good luck, you'll find your way through it! 🤞

hey, i hear ya loud and clear. dealing with clutter is like dragging a boulder uphill, amirite? 😅 sometimes just finding the energy to start is the toughest part. try setting a timer for like 15 or 20 mins and tackle whatever you can in that time. it's amazing how much you can get done in short bursts instead of trying to take on everything all at once. it’s still a mountain but hey, one tiny step at a time, right? don’t beat yourself up if it takes a while; you're doing what you can! hang in there!

ugh, I totally feel you! it's crazy how clutter just seems to multiply overnight, right?? sometimes it feels like the walls are closing in... have you ever tried visualizing what your space would look like once it's organized? that little mental picture can be super motivating. do you think having a friend over to help might make it less overwhelming and even a bit fun? sometimes an extra pair of hands (or eyes) makes the whole process feel way less daunting! 🤔

I totally feel your pain, friend... It's like when my garage turned into a black hole of randomness. One thing that worked for me was creating "keep", "donate/sell", and "trash" piles - surprisingly therapeutic!

I feel you, it’s like living in your own personal chaos minefield 😤 Ever thought about hiring someone to help clear it out? Sometimes getting an outsider's perspective can be really eye-opening. Plus, it forces you to confront the stuff that's been hiding in plain sight! Give yourself a break; don't beat yourself up over this mess.

have you considered the viability of seeking out professional assistance, perhaps from an organizer?

Hey there! It sounds like you're dealing with the classic 'analysis paralysis' when it comes to organizing. Have you thought about implementing a "four-box system"? Basically, you categorize everything into four boxes: keep, donate, toss, and undecided. This can help streamline your decision-making process; Also, sometimes enlisting some digital tools or apps specifically designed for organization might help gradually build up a more structured environment.
