I took these about a month ago and it’s significantly worse. I may update with some current images later, but for now this is what I have to work with.

I’m trying to hold myself accountable because I need to find motivation to wrangle my mess. It’s especially hard when I have ADHD and WFH (small business owner). And since we’re living in hell (aka end stage capitalism in the US), I’m staying with my parents for the foreseeable future because who can even afford the current cost of living?!

Anyway, my mom is OCD (neat freak that loses her mind when even the smallest thing is out of place), so you can imagine her meltdown whenever she walks into my room. Well, she JUST retired, as in yesterday was her last working day, and now she’ll be home ALL. THE. TIME. No way in hell am I going to deal with her CONSTANTLY nitpicking the state of my room, so I’ve resolved to get this done over the holidays. (I really don’t want her to help me either because the last time turned into a nightmare for me where I absolutely LOST IT.)

I’ve written up a 3pg list of the many things I need to accomplish (which I’m still adding to as I find something new). I find it’s easier for me to have a plan on paper that I can check off as I complete something. (Dunno why I find the physical act of crossing things off a list so satisfying, but that’s what works for me. Gotta love being neuro spicy!) I plan to start shortly, as in right after lunch, and work until we need to leave for our dinner reservations for my mom’s retirement party. I’ll continue after we get back.

Hoping to have progress pics by the end of the day (or more like middle of the night because I’ve got the weird circadian rhythm that makes me more of a night person). Feel free to pester me if I don’t post. That’ll keep me accountable and motivated (as long as you’re nice about it).

Well, time to eat then get to work! Wish me luck!
