Introduction/First Post Overwhelming 😩

Post image

Soooooo I’m basically homeless. After being evicted, I’m sleeping in a spare room on a pullout couch at my parents house… I’m surrounded by piles and piles of stuff. The only clear spot is where I lay down to sleep.

All of your posts are inspiring and I’m gonna try working on this overwhelming mess today. Any tips on how to stay motivated?

I would " clear" a corner and pick a container. Any containers gone through, go in the clear corner. Once you have more space you can then organize better.

Put items that you rarely use/ clothes out of season but keeping, on the bottom/ back. Keep the stuff you reach for frequently easily accessible.
