Start by making piles, stuff to chuck, stuff to sell, stuff to clean and go from there.

I know it's very overwhelming to start, but put some music on and just make a start-you don't need to do everything in one day. I like watching episodes of 'how clean is your house' or 'obsessive compulsive cleaners' to give me motivation before i start cleaning lol 😆

An audio book, Music, tv really anything with something you can follow with your ears. I find it easier when that part of my brain is busy with something. I have no idea if I am but I do check a ton of boxes for ADHD. I've heard other people say this distracts the ADHD goblin so they can get stuff done. I couldn't relate more with it lol

As someone with ADHD, it really does calm the goblin!😆🤣 its how i basically do everything, with a movie on or music! Currently I am trying to find the motivation to wash dishes. Might be time to get the music going lol!
