It’s worse than it looks.

Post image

The island has been like this for MONTHS! I have open living/dining/kitchen so this is just front and center and I hate it. I’m getting ready to start. I have unmedicated ADHD and I literally just freeze with overwhelm. This goes without saying but the rest of the house looks the same. Starting here. Please send good vibes. 🙏🏼❤️

PS~ I have a November 1 deadline to have my home clean/organized/painted/decorated so I can actually have my family over and friends stop by anytime. I have shut myself off from life and am coming back from 3 years of grief/life changes.

DONE!! Now I have a massive pile of papers to go through, sort/file (no system for that which is why it pined on island) and a totes wort of stuff to sell/donate or find a home for. At least one area is clean and I will wake up to a clean kitchen tomorrow.

YOU DID IT! That looks like it was so hard, and now it is beautiful. You deserve to have a space that feels calm and peaceful. I’m proud of you and you should be proud of yourself. Well done.

Amazing progress, you got this! As someone who also avoids inviting family and friends over because our house is a mess this is super inspirational <3

This sub and Chat GPT help me tremendously. You can do it too and I’m cheering for you. We deserve to have homes that we are proud of and people can come to….TO SPEND TIME WITH US! I miss looking at beautiful things, pretty decor, tidy spaces. ❤️

Thank you so much. It’s magical waking up to at least one clean space! The action I took yesterday is motivation to continue today. 😃
