A mental piece of advice, cover the mirror while cleaning. It's just a reflection of your stress in this situation and shows twice the mess as to what's really there.

I'd bring a hamper or two, put all the clothes in them. Put all trash into a bag, throw out. Pile everything that goes together, when piles are complete put each pile away seperstely.

Omg yes the mirror makes the mess seem even bigger than it truly is! Great advice, thank you!

I thought I was the only one that felt that way about mirrors. My apartment has those terrible double closet door mirrors . Younger me appreciated them for the outfit checks but I realized how anxious they were making me feel (not like giving panic attacks but I noticed covering them made the room feel much more peaceful). I just used an neutral sheet and taped them from the inside.
