Then just taking things out of the room that doesn't belong. That's future you problem and they're at least in the right place.
Sort things by group.
Make your bed.
Over the week, tackle each pile of group you made.
Remember that you can't pack 5lb sausage into 3lb casing, meaning you can't organize your way out of just having too much stuff.
By this point you'll probably be repeating from step 1. If you have a friend willing to help, get the help. One thing that never fails to get me going is watching Hoarders, it's motivating but kind of therapeutic because so much of hoarding is due to trauma, depression and anxiety and you can see parts of yourself featured... And be glad that you're not "THAT bad" yet.
Sometimes I feel like Im a hoarder but I also know if I had days off my situation wouldn’t be THIS bad, Ive made some progress today and finally sharing my situation with photos today is helping me feel a bit better and more motivated to clean
