My own place isn't looking great. I'm managing to keep dishes done and the sinks, tub, and toilet clean, but by the time I'm cleared to do anything it's definitely going to be a project. 😬

oh man that was my kitchen like a month ago. I had literally every single dish in my house piled up in the sink, and some of them had been in there for months. I feel so much better after getting it clean though, I was literally avoiding my kitchen because of how gross it was in there, but now it's like I got it clean in my whole house feels better because there's not any part of it that I'm trying not to look at. plus I can cook again which is cool.

just about a week ago I did the same thing with my yard, got a whole bunch of trash that I had sitting around picked up. once you break down the barrier of the initial doing it maintenance is so much easier than cleaning up.

As a recent grown up im this scenario, I blamed my working in kitchens about this. You gotta wash as soon as you finish eating and as you cook, for me, as soon as im out of food mode those dishes dont exist until I need em

I've been wanting to do it, and I've had time, because I'm on leave -- for an injury that's supposed to be keeping me off my feet. I'm pretty sick of the mess though.

My advice: get everytjingnclean in one big clean day and then pick a room each day to handle. You gotta get things to a point you'd be a bit upset if it got dirty and then it becomes a battle plan against dust. I hit an age where a lack of keeping my house clean became embarrassing instead of cool and punk. If you get things to a good baseline its about taking a half hour a day to keep it going. It sucks and I still hate it.
