How do I Attack a Messy House?

[@Rapunzel122-s9w]

I battled stage 3 cancer for 2 years that took a toll on my body forever. I ended up being chemo induced and it affects my nerves and muscles daily. During the beginning of treatments I closed my business because my staff could only handle the front end but not the backend including state and insurance audits. I then moved from a house of 4 bedrooms, 1 office, lvrm, Dr, kitchen and 3 bathrooms into an apartment that has 2 bedrooms. My spare bedroom is the storage room for all the business paperwork (420 medical records)because the state mandates I keep it for 7 years. The rest of the spare room is filled with things that came over from all the other rooms at the house. It’s overwhelming to say the least and I never want to go in there. My 25 year old son passed away in 2020. After a year of his passing I became a business owner of a online clothing store and I’m very successful. I have over 10k inventory in storage and boxes in the home that I say I’m working on. I’m a solo act in the home and never know where to start. I’m not a hoarder and my home is presentable but has clutter areas. I’m so thankful I stumbled onto your videos after That Awkward Mum showed your process.

Oooh revelation! I'm single and the room in my house that needs the most attention right now is MY BEDROOM! I've been going through the cycle of 'I'll date when I lose weight, I'll exercise when I have space in the bedroom, I'll eat better when I exercise' The result being, the bedroom is still a mess and I haven't lost any weight! I'm off to tackle the bedroom now! Thanks Gemma x

For me there are 3 huge beasts that get the better of me and when they are out of control I can't clean or bring myself to start cleaning. 1) Rubbish Beast: The beast of all the things that have gone past their purpose and haven't been thrown out for what ever reason. This can be from the crisp packets and sweet wrappers the kids have chucked on the floor to that pair of leggings that have a huge hole in them so I popped them on the banister ready to throw out and they have been there for at least a month. 2) Washing: Everything that needs cleaning and putting away after use whether it's the coffee cups in the bathroom or the piles of laundry that haven't been put away. 3) Clutter: For me clutter is objects that dont seem to have a home or haven't been put away/are in the wrong room. I find if I tackle the rubbish and the washing beasts, then go through room by room sorting and taming the clutter beast eg that hairbrush belongs in the bathroom not the dining table etc and collecting a box of random objects I need to think about homing or rehoming. I can then start cleaning and get myself back into a routine. It's important to remember these 3 beasts will always live in your house but they only become beasts when they are out of control. Having a few boxes or drawers full of random items or a couple of loads of washing isn't a problem it's whennit gets out of control it becomes overwhelming.

This is so helpful, thank you! I have a load of craft stuff cluttering the house but I’m in a time of my life where I don’t have time to do it. I need to box it away so I don’t see the clutter anymore and just get upset I can’t do it.

You are so welcome!

Just watched the transformation videos and I am so inspired

[@TodaywithTerriK]

I love the idea of that series! I am in the US and would love to try to do something similarly. How do you find volunteers?

[@yorkshirelassdiaries4841]

Where can we find the patron vault please?

Decluttering is key
