yeah i see your casual mess with some laundry on the ground or a cluttered desk but how do you clean up when your floor is completely covered in literal piles of clothes and blankets and things
Clear everything off the bed and make it. Change the sheets if you have a spare set. Take a break.
Gather up the laundry. Start a load if you have access to a washer and dryer, otherwise just get it all into one place: the hamper, laundry baskets, a bag, whatever. Put away/hang up any clean clothes. Take a break.
Gather up anything that’s obviously trash and take it out or recycle it. Take a break.
Start with your nightstand, or another surface if you don’t have one. Clear off the surface, putting things back or throwing them away/recycling them as you go. Take a break.
Next, get to your shelves (or any other storage). Organize them, and make space for other things to go. Take a break.
Beginning in front of your nightstand or whatever your first surface was, deal with each pile of stuff or a one foot square of floor at a time. Take a break every 20 minutes. If something doesn’t have a home, find it one before moving on to the next pile.
When you have enough floor exposed, vacuum.
You do not have to do this all in one day. Do what you can, and then come back to it. No room, home, or person is beyond help. Don’t give up before you even get started.
This is totally my approach. I always let my bedroom get to the point of not being able to see the floor because I am terrible at being tidy. Also, sometimes I HAVE to do it all in one day or I know I’ll never get it done. In which case, I use my bed as a sorting facility. The main goal then becomes “Clear off bed”
Clean sheets and making the bed is step one. So you have a clean space to put things before they go away.
I dump all the clean clothes on the bed. Sort/put away till bed is clear.
I dump all the junk from the surface of bedside table/vanity/dresser etc. onto my bed. Sort/put away til bed is clear.
Repeat til space is clean. Usually I’m left at the end with a random assortment of things that don’t have a home, so then I deal with that last.
I use the same “sorting facility” tactic in other rooms too. So instead of my brain thinking I have to clean an entire room and oh my god that’s too much work. Instead I just think about how I have to clean this one space where I’ve dumped everything. But it works best in my bedroom because I need the bed to sleep, so it has to be clear by the end of the day.
