    Any tips for cleaning for someone who sucks at it? Mine isn’t as bad as this photo though.

      Trow shit away. In this pic, most of it is garbage. Have a waste basket handy. When you go to take a piss. Take one item with you.

      And don’t horde. Like Marie Kondo says. Does this spark joy? If not. Trow it out or pass it on.

      Two tips, worked for me, your mileage may vary: Do it little by little. I joined a “Clean the Goblin Horde challenge” which looked a bit like this: Every day:

      • choose a spot, clean it for 10 min. Just take whatever is lying around on the spot, find a new place for it or throw it away. If nothing is lying around on that spot, use a brush to clean up dust, then wipe with something wet, then dry it.

      • Clean up the kitchen. Wash your dirty dishes, put away food containers.

      • for God’s sake, open your windows. Just create a draft for 5 min, then close them.

      • Every 3 days: Wipe down your bathroom sink and your toilet. Takes 5 min and prevents it from getting really nasty.

      • Every 6 days: Do a quick round of vacuuming the main living rooms.

      • Once a month: Change your bedsheets. Trust me.

      1. Do things in between doing something bigger. I don’t know what you do for a living, but when you come home and watch a show or smth, get up between episodes or vids, and pick up clothes for like 5 mins and then get back to your leisure activities.

      Bonus: reward yourself. You’ve cleaned something up, good for you, do something you like.

      Don’t just put things down; put them away. I have to remind myself each time, but it really helps to keep clutter off the table or desk.

      Another: when I sit down at my desk, I do a quick scan of everything and assess what I won’t need, or haven’t needed the past few days, and remove it. (Anything decorative is obviously exempt.) Again, I’m not perfect about it – there’s an old scribble pad with no blank pages that for some reason I can’t bring myself to throw out even though I haven’t opened it in over half a year.

      Never waste a trip; if you take something to one side of the house to put it away, pick up something on the way back that goes where you started. Rinse, repeat.

      To add to what the others say, I would also add a reasonably sized bin and bin bags within arm’s reach. Though you’d still have to remember to take that shit out as well.
