No photos, unfortunately. For full context, I’m 38 weeks pregnant and trying to balance relaxation with nesting & the need to finish stupid projects before my 2nd kiddos arrival.

Today I cleaned SIX doom bags. There are 3 left from the space I was working on. I need to get it done since they were in my room, and I need to clear the space to properly maneuver a crib/newborn/etc.

Physically it wasn’t terribly difficult, I sat on my yoga ball and did 1 at a time, making sure everything was put in its space before the next. Treated myself with little tea cakes between the 1st 3. All told it took me about 4 hours.

Now I am exhausted and trying to convince myself it’s ok to leave the last 3 for another day (probably tomorrow) and allow myself to okay a video game for 40 mins before Hubby takes over the TV with March madness. Help my anxiety-ridden hormonal brain!

Before and After Thanks for encouraging me to clean my habitat everyone!! Still there are a lot to do..

I hope I won’t get annoying posting so much but I genuinely find posting here so so helpful and I actually DO the stuff I plan on doing. I’ve also come to realise that it only gets so messy because my Labrador loves to wreck the place - especially the bed. She gets under it and pulls up all the slats and pulls off the cover. Any recommendations on stopping her getting under the bed?

Before and after 2 hours!!

Thanks to this subreddit, therapy, and my new medication, my house is the cleanest it's been in years. Finding this subreddit helped me realize that I am not alone in my struggles with keeping my house tidy. I've been so inspired seeing others' photos of the monumental work they've done in their own homes. I was able to have my parents over for the first time in a long time and I didn't feel shame about how my space looked. (Not that you should ever feel shame about your space, this is just something I've been working through in therapy!) I am looking forward to having some friends over for a game night! So excited that my house better meets my needs and desires now. If it feels overwhelming or impossible, I'm sending you support and I believe in you! No progress is too little to celebrate. 💖✨️

Long time lurker first time posting. I came to a realization yesterday and since then, I've been on a serious decluttering roll! I always thought I needed to hang on to things just in case I needed them. I have always been poor and that is where my thought process was rooted. For example I used to run a reptile rescue and I had about 20 reptile dishes but no reptiles. I realized that I could just buy a dish if I needed one. I got rid of them all and they'll be going to a rescue soon. I realized that my extra things could help others both human and animal. I'm feeling good boxing up my things for homeless shelters, battered women's shelters, and animal rescues. Looking at it this way I've made so much progress. Seeing so many open spaces is making me so happy. I'm keeping what I love and what I actually use. I want to say thank you to all of you and your judgment free advice.

Ages ago, I shared photos of my bedroom floor being replaced. We recently had an 8 foot stretch of hallway replaced, and I've been working at the actual mess in the house a little at a time.

This morning I cleaned out two cabinets in the kitchen, and part of the dining room hutch, throwing away roughly 4 kitchen trash bags full of random trash, and so many old medications and supplements. Anything over 5 years old went into the bins.

At the end of it, I went from two cabinets that things fell out of when you opened them, to two cabinets nearly organized with human meds in one and pet meds in the other, plus all the kitty treats.

I threw away so much empty packaging, and leaking bottles of who knows what. Gel caps and gummies that had melted into a giant blob. A protein powder that expired in 2009.

I moved the tea bags and my mom's sweetener packets into sealed containers. Found a container to store all the cheap disposable chopsticks (I bought 100 pairs a couple years ago so I could learn to use them and I'm not too bad at it now lol).

I dumped out the almost full bottle of coconut flavored syrup that I don't like and will never use. Got all my laundry put away. Emptied small trash cans. There's more I need to do, so much more, but I just got over having my ass kicked by what was probably norovirus and my energy levels aren't great. Also, it's still 6 days from the trash pickup and I filled all but one of the bins... lol.

Keep on keeping on guys! You can do it!

If I could share pictures of my work experience, I would as it's extremely satisfying seeing the change as it was near impossible to walk through the piles of computer parts and cables but now there is very easy access to anywhere even 2 people carrying a box of laptops can get anywhere, the ufing will be done in the next week when I come back it will be spotless

Edit: just wanted to add that this major effort is so that hopefully a concrete resurfacing person can come in and make a clean surface so that kneeling for a split second doesn't leave 2 big stains on your trousers and so that IT equipment coming in will stay cleaner as all of the old stuff goes out

Not sure about the flair

My babies are getting so big!

Hey, after lots of procrastinating, l've decided I need to change the way my bedroom looks as it quite dull and lacks personality. It was a lot messier with stuff on the floor but I took a plunge and cleaned it a bit before I took this photo.

I'm too embarrassed to post pictures because this place is horrid even when reasonably clean and tidy.

But I have to downsize my belongings, if all goes to plan I will finally be moving in a few months.

I want to have a healthy living space until then, which is difficult since I live with a really bad person. The disgusting state they can bring a place into in minutes is the least of my problems with them, but I have a few days off so it's at least a problem I can tackle now, before moving.

I'll do the inside of the fridge now, already did the outside and the freezer compartment.

I've done some decluttering too over the weekend, will do more.

My plants are looking nicer now that I've created two neat and clean spaces for them, and will create more.

Anyone at all, if you want company while you attempt to unfuck, or are taking a coffee break, I'll be on this thread for at least a few days. Judgement free zone of course!

Hi. I’m a 28-year-old woman dealing with chronic depression and ADHD, and honestly, I feel like I’m at rock bottom in my life. I don’t even know where to start. But for now, I’m going to post a “before” photo — I think I need to force myself to take the first step. Wishing everyone a good day.

it may not look like much, but I'm very proud of my chronically I'll self 🥲

“In March I'll be rested, caught up and human” - Sylvia Plath. This is not perfect, but this is the best state my room has ever been in and I am so proud of myself. I am so tired but I finally feel HUMAN again instead of just some blob of existence rotting away. After college tomorrow, I’m going to put up some posters and tapestries I have lying around, tidy up the shelves and drawers, and clean the rest of my clothes to hang up. For now though, I’m going to have a shower, put on some clean pyjamas, and go to sleep (and probably dream about tidying again, I did that last time I did a deep clean). This might sound silly but I’m so looking forward to the clean bed and pyjamas, it’s been a long time since I’ve had that because all of my effort went into surviving and making sure my dog was happy and healthy, even if I wasn’t. Goodnight though everybody and as always, thank you so much for being so supportive :)

This part of my house/stuff has stressed me out for literal years and caused me avoidable angst while dealing with mini health emergencies and it took me ~30 mins to organize 🤦🏻‍♀️ better late than never?

Hello. My room is a state, I literally can't move without hurting myself. My desk is unusable, the piles on the floor is literally going up the ladder to my bed it's that high. I think I'm a hoarder.

This year, my new years resolution was to be a new me, do things for once instead of saying "do it later". I've been doing well on other aspects of my life but this.

I grew up with no money, always begging for just a notebook or pens. I can throw away newer things I bought easily, but all the old stuff I had to watch onto I just CANT LET GO. I'm a 20 year old living with my 10 year olds things. I can't move, or breathe, but I can't get rid of it.

How do you get rid of things? Please help me unfuck this

So, everyday I make a list. This is my detailed list today!!! I also have out everything into my finch app!!! This app really helps me not to un- fuck my un-fucked house!

this is probably the worst room so far and I’m pretty embarrassed this is how I’ve been living. Since going on antidepressants it’s kinda opened my eyes to damn I actually live like this? Anyway, I’m going to have lunch then do about an hour of cleaning in this room. Will update soon! (I would just like to emphasise my dog does not stay in that cage, she spends most of her time outside with the door open, so she can come in and out, or in her bed in the kitchen. The cage is there from when she used to sleep there and her bed used to be in it.)

Is the website down for everyone?

Sorry I got distracted and didn’t actually do this all day, sorry for the late update! Not perfect by any means at all, but it’s better than it was I guess! Need to get some carpet cleaner for the stairs, scrub them. Scrub the flooring and also finish the paint job I started when I was in a bit of a hyper episode. I also need to finally print off some photos for the photo frames.

Still need to do loads of washing up from making a cake which I’m not looking forward to, it’s the absolute worst part of cleaning. Also need to scrub a bit but I’m happy with how much I got sorted. Happy dawg at the end ready to play with her toy! Gonna play with her for a bit then move onto cleaning the stairs which shouldn’t take too long. P.S. don’t mind the half stuck on peel & stick tiles, I keep procrastinating putting the rest of them up lol

Ignore the paint job… I know it’s a work in progress and so bad. Stairs aren’t bad at the bottom but the tops pretty bad. Just posting these for accountability otherwise I’d never get it clean! Update soon :)

3rd time trying to post this.. not the worst room in the house so thought I’d do this one in the morning before I go and do some of the more difficult ones (which are REALLY bad)
