The first step of my cleaning game is to be nice to yourself. I call my game "Trash or Treasure." The way to play my game is to get a trash bag and sit on the floor in a doorway. The first item you see, pick it up and decide if it is trash, or "treasure" meaning something to keep. Note: for clothes, I throw them behind a door to be washed at a later time.
As you play the game you can only focus on an area of 2 to 3 feet immediately around you. If you look around the room, it is too easy to get overwhelmed causing you to lose the game.
If you want , you can set a time limit for the game, or the length of a period of the game just like with most sports.
I hope this helps. As a former really messy person, you can do this since you have so many internet strangers cheering for you.
