step 1: get a trash bag or paper bag & pick up/toss all the trash you can see step 2: pick up any dirty laundry and put it in the hamper, start a load if there’s enough step 3: if you have more big bags/boxes, go room by room putting items into categories within the bags/boxes (ex: all makeup/products in one bag, books in another, etc) step 4: take any items that don’t belong in a room and set them down where they belong, then fold laundry, toss/put back bagged items, clean surfaces, etc
^^^this is the general process i use when my place gets too messy, also start slow, play whatever music/podcast/video you love, and you can burn a candle or some other clean scent while you work too. and don’t worry if it takes multiple days, i usually stretch it out over a week but it feels so so much better once your space is clean again. good luck :)
