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

      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.
