How to clean a depression room in the least amount of time.
You gotta eat and take your medication if you got it try to eat something with protein (I’ve literally eaten a plain can of beans before you don’t have to make it fancy)
Fill up a water bottle with some ice water (gotta stay hydrated through this)
Put on a outfit and put your hair up/out of your face
Put on some music (no slow songs you gotta be hype)
First thing is you need a clear place to take your breaks to prevent becoming overwhelmed (make sure you use breaks other wise you will burn yourself out and not finish)
Clear your bed off and stack everything that was there somewhere else (doesn’t matter where you’ll get to it later)
Make your bed (doesn’t have to have fresh sheets )
Breaks should be at least 10 minutes and you gotta keep drinking water and getting snacks (breaks can be longer but not shorter exercise some discipline so that when your timer goes off you continue working)
Now you have a place to rest and relax time to get to cleaning.
Grab all the laundry you can see and start a load this will run while you are cleaning don’t forget to swap it out.
Get a trash bag and get all the trash you can see (once you fill up one bag grab another repeat until you are satisfied)
Now dishes just take them out of your room and put them in your sink we aren’t gonna start them rn (if you are up for it you can soak them in hot water and soap
It’s already so much better time but you gotta continue
Now pick an area of your room (corner, floor chair doesn’t matter what)
Take everything off of it and sort it into donate/sell, trash, doesn’t have a home but still want it, and has a home (for this one just put it in the area it goes in doesn’t have to be clean you’ll get to it later)
Next wipe down/sweep the area
Put everything that goes there back
Repeat until you are satisfied with the areas of your room(remember to take breaks and swap out your laundry still)
By now your room is looking pretty good now it’s time to deal with clean laundry
It’s time for a folding marathon
I like to sit and watch a comfort show while I fold and in between episodes you put away.
Treat this like a long break and get a snack and drink some more water
Now you should just have your piles of donate/sell and doesn’t have a place
Pick which on you want to do first
For donate/sell put them into boxes that can be neatly stacked somewhere so it’s less visual clutter
For doesn’t have place you find a place where you think it should go (what ever makes sense in your mind is perfect don’t feel pressured to make it aesthetic)
Wow good job you did amazing it may not look like a show house but it is better and that all you need. Time to reward yourself for all your efforts.
Watch a movie (comfort shows)
Take a shower (you deserve it)
Do anything that feels good to you
Remember this process can take one day or as many as you need take the amount of breaks you need but don’t give up
I can do this for more rooms if you would like.
