I need some help when it comes to clearing out, organising and sorting my stuff.

My house is basically full of stuff and things right now and I really don’t think it’s helping me out with my health (mental or physical)

I mostly suffer with getting hopelessly distracted, mess blindness, never wanting to get started, and getting overwhelmed with the scope of the task.

One of the reasons I want to get tidied up is because my main hobbies (electronics, drones, and DIY) mean that I’ve got tons of stuff I need to keep around, but it’s also lots of small stuff with lots of different categories and storage requirements so it’s really not easy to sort without needing tons of boxes or bins so I still haven’t been able to find a good way to store it.

I also don’t have much out-of-sight storage in my flat so it’s kind of everywhere.

Any tips on storing and sorting would be massively appreciated especially from people who have been through this already and have/are working towards getting clean!

Thanks!

    Have someone else tell you what to do

    If you don’t have a someone, maybe AI can help you.
    Now, let me preface this by saying I have an extreme prejudice against AI, but I can’t deny its usefulness for breaking down tasks.

    goblin.tools is a good one, and at least they state wanting to go open source in the future, and be independant from OpenAI. If data privacy is important to you, than that might be something to keep in the back of the head.

    But damn, just typing in clean room and getting it broken down into all the little steps is undeniably helpful.
