Why am I so messy ?

Kentucky
2024/12/6 Edited to

... Read moreBeing messy often comes with stigma, but it can represent creativity and a relaxed attitude. Many people struggle with organizing their personal and living spaces. Factors contributing to this may include a busy life, lack of motivation, or even a disorganized mindset. Regardless of the cause, it's essential to address it if it affects your well-being. One key approach is to understand that messiness can signal a deeper issue, such as anxiety or overwhelm. People may feel too paralyzed to start cleaning or may not know where to begin. Therefore, breaking things down into manageable tasks is crucial. Techniques such as the '5-minute rule,' where you clean for just five minutes at a time, can help kickstart motivation without feeling daunting. Additionally, creating dedicated spaces for belongings, decluttering regularly, and setting specific goals can improve organization significantly. Engaging with community resources, like local organizing groups or online forums, can provide support and accountability. Overall, understanding and addressing the root causes of your messiness could lead to a more peaceful and organized life.

Why am I so messy
I feel like I’m not a messy person but every time I clean a couple days later, my room starts to look like this. I feel like I have no energy to even get up right now. Today is my husband’s birthday and we have a lot of guests coming over so our whole house is about to be tidy. #homediaries #le

HOW I WENT FROM MESSY TO CLEAN GIRL
If you would have told me years ago I’d be obsessed with a clean house, I’d assume you were LYING! Since I moved into what I hope is my forever home I keep it as clean as I can with two kids. 1) Watching “clean with me” videos helped me so much, it taught me how to clean. I never thought about

A messy bedroom is shown with clothes, shoes, trash, and cups scattered on the floor and furniture, highlighting the disarray with labels like "Unmade bed" and "Shoes everywhere."
The same bedroom is now clean and organized, with a made bed, clear floor, and neatly arranged plants by the window, captioned "All clean:" to show the transformation.
TRUTH BEHIND: a naturally messy girl
Not gonna lie that picture looks horrible. It was very eye opening to see how messy I can be within a week. I work full time and also have school and my own small business to run. So it can get very hectic around my room. I naturally do not get overwhelmed by this but I know that eventually it bring

The first slide introduces the topic: 'Why your house keeps getting messy,' with a number '1' in a circle and a small heart icon, against a light background with plant shadows.
The second slide states, 'You're trying to clean and tidy at the same time. Those are two different jobs,' with a number '2' in a circle and a woven basket with a blanket at the bottom.
The third slide outlines 'Step 1: Put things away,' listing 'Laundry, Toys, Random cups, Mail' with checkmarks. A teddy bear and a cup are visible in a basket.
Why your house always feels messy
If you’ve ever spent an hour “cleaning” and somehow the room still looks messy, you’re not doing anything wrong. Most of us are trying to tidy and clean at the same time. First put things away. Then clean the surfaces that are left. It’s a tiny shift, but it makes a huge difference.

The part I don’t show 😅 Where the adhd struggles come face to face with a depressive episode.. I can usually tell when it’s coming on, but that doesn’t necessarily help every time. I already find it difficult to maintain an orderly space because EVERY task is a mental chore before it even starts.
