How I learned to stop worrying and love cleaning
Watch youtube cleaning channels (eg The Carla Project, A Beautiful Mess, Midwest Magic Cleaning). I learned so much from watching these: cleaning techniques, but also just watching things go from dirty to clean made certain jobs feel surmountable.
Get yourself a set of products and tools. The grease around your extractor fan is a different chemical than the white deposit on your toilet rim, and a brush can reach corners a cloth can't touch. I can go into specifics in a separate post if anyone wants, or you can just follow point 1 and learn the way I did.
Don't try to blitz a room unless you're working with a team. Blitzing is the crash-diet of cleaning. You exhaust yourself, the effects don't last very long, and your lasting memory from the experience is bad enough to put you off doing anything about it. Chip away at your housework, and allow your mind to fixate on the thing that's annoying you most today and deal with that.
Set a realistic goal and stick to it. Assess your energy and time, and set yourself a goal that's doable. If you don't have the time or energy to do wash the floor and put the furniture back in, don't take it out. Ignore the voice that says "while you're here, just ..." because you might run out of energy or time, and a job half done leaves you frustrated and can be worse than not starting. If you finish the job you start and have something left, you can start another and get the satisfaction twice!
I grew up in a house that was not hoarded, but was very messy. (I often say it was the kind of house where you might say "what is that smell" for a couple of weeks before you find the source). My mother was always vocal about her hatred of housework so I never learned the skills of cleaning.
I'm also neurodivergent, and very prone to relying on the SHARP method of organisation (Stacks, Heaps, and Random Piles). Mac from Midwest Magic Cleaning in particular has helped me understand some of the psychology of my difficulties. And watching all these youtubers take homes from absolutely filthy to sparkling clean has made the idea of getting my house clean seem so much more realistic.
#i hope someone finds these useful#i just have had such a strong urge to share#i never could have imagined looking forward to have time to clean#but here we are#i keep calling my family over to show them how clean i've got something#not the beatles

i would like to share this because last night i looked up "baby pandas" at around 4am and started sobbing. i was BAWLING my eyes out. because of this one panda.
there were a bunch of baby pandas on a platform and this one fell on his face, but couldn't get up because he's a BABY, and his legs were just FLAILING
#i don't think i can possibly overstate how hard i was crying#i'm going to leave this plane of existence#i think i would set myself on fire for this panda#i would do anything for this panda#not the beatles

Thanks for tag @tenderlady ❤️
rules: list your top 5 albums from your top 5 artists (can't have a repeat of the same artist) on a poll, so your followers can vote which album they think captures your vibe the best
Even choosing my top five Björk albums would be a tough one for me 😭
Tagging @aquarianshift @revollver @fkajohnlennon @pie-of-flames :)
#that fifth slot started as Ty Segall#and then it was Animal Collective#but my ecosystem required some sludge#so#melvins!!!#also ive never made a poll before hello#not the beatles#(well)

PUT A FINGER DOWN (SUPER FUN)
put a finger down if today you wanted to do your first Dumb Teenager Thing™️ because you've been a goody two-shoes all your life and wanted to do something that scared you so you walked .5 mile down train tracks (with an air cast boot) with 8 other 17-year-olds to an abandoned barge and climbed in a literal hole that has been rusted for 75 years (or close to it) and then someone said "i think that's a train" when you were about to leave so you said "that's not a train, idiot" and it was a train and they stopped in front of the barge and got out holding flashlights and searching over the barge so you hid huddled together under a ramp for over 30 minutes until you said "guys those are train conductors, not police let's just ask them if the train is going to move" BECAUSE the train was blocking your exit since the only way to get in front of it was to go across a 80° angled cliff that is entirely made of slippery rocks so you all CLIMBED the SIDE of a STATIONARY TRAIN where if you fell, the slippery rocks would hurl you into the freezing lake (where you would immediately drown/freeze to death) and then also got a lot of time with your crush because he was holding you close and calming you down while helping you FAULT the SIDE of a STATIONARY TRAIN
