I have no clue on how to fix this but I'm sick of having no space and being treated by my parents like I'm a slob
You know even though they never bothered to teach me how to clean, how they clean is based on their dopamine "time to do this task now" and how I've never lived in a clean house my whole
I just feel so frustrated
Currently my brain thinks that if I get storage (because I do not, and it resulted in me just having shit everywhere)
I just feel so frustrated and it's keeping me awake and I just want to sleep and not think about this
Step 1 ; Take out all your clothes and towels. this will declutter the most of it (especially if you're like me) any bags on the ground should be put away at this time too.
Step 2 ; Put all your plushies away or on your bed/hammock if you have one. Don't worry about your bed til the end. start with the floor and work your way up.
Step 3 ; Take out any dishes/cutlery/cups you have lying around.
Good Job kiddo! most of the big stuff should be gone now! reward yourself, you so deserve it!!
Step 4 ; Pick up any rubbish you see on the floor and put it in the bin/recyc bin
Step 5 ; If you have any regression/dreaming tools that you're not using atm (outside of plushies) put them in a safe spot
Step 6 ; There shouldn't be much or anything left on the ground now!! Good job little one now you just gotta pick up what is there and pack it away.
You're doing such an awesome job kid! Keep it up! Give the floor a vacuum or a sweep and then you're all set for another break!!
Step 7 ; This is the step where we focus on our bed. put all of it in the middle and sort it out. what will stay on your bed, what needs to be packed away. once you pack everything that doesnt belong away, make your bed and sort your friends
Step 8 ; If you have a desk and chair, give them a clean as well, make sure everything goes in the right spots too kiddo. give the desk a wipe with a dry cloth to get any dust off then wipe it with a spray to get rid of germs
Step 9 ; If you have any shelving give them a bit of a tidy too. sort out any books you may keep there, any games or plushies, any music or collectables. give it a bit of a dust aswell while you're there!
You did such an amazing job cleaning up kid!! you deserve the whole sheet of gold stars! /g
If you ever struggle or don't know where to start again come back to this post and i'll help ^-^ If you do use this method feel free to send photos through and we'll send soke love back!!
SO guess who spent 6+ hours cleaning their room due to a random burst of energy?
We got the 'tism nest (doesn't look cozy but it is, then again there's more room for the plushies than there is for me..)
The (broken) TV/"setup" if you could call it that
The "I swear I don't have a hoarding problem" corner (ft. a collection of stim toys, yarn/wool, needle felt, figurines, shells, cool rocks, books (because that's what the shelf is for), and some other assorted bits) (also yes, the ottoman has more plushies)
And the art stuff! (I have a sorting system for this I swear)
truly quite literally the ONLY thing that has made me able to sort through my closet is the idea that some tiny homosexual is going to be SO STOKED to thrift this
TIP ! : keep water and a snack by you while you clean; draw the blinds if it's daytime; have a good mindless show playing in the background. don't forget to love yourself <3

Just realized I have more motivation to clean my room when sleep deprived. What the fuck brain. I get sleep deprived, I feel the urge to purge the floordrobe, then the floor feels weird from the dust so I sweep. Sometimes it ends there, some times it ends with my room looking very well put together. Then within a month it's back to previous condition
I am Deeeeeep cleaning my room (it’s so overdue it’s gross in here) and oh my god it feels so fucking good to see the progress!! I’m going to sleep now (at 7 am) because I’m so so tired and in order to finish up I need to go to the laundromat and stuff anyway, so I’m saving the rest for tomorrow.
But I’m so excited for a very clean room, and I’m so excited to jump into the freshest sheets tomorrow with the loveliest smelling clean air with No hazards on the floor to trip over on midnight toilet runs 🤭😌
The least favourite thing about having an alter that's specifically for cleaning, is that some times they'll get close to the front, but not close enough to actually clean so you're just staring at each other like
"are you going to clean now"
"are we going to study now"
And the answer is neither, it's neither, we're going to stare at each other like the PB and Finn cat clones for all of eternity
