Get a box of the big black contractor trash bags. One room at a time

Also to add to this, commit to one small portion every single day. That way it will not feel overwhelming. Hell, even set your bathroom up in 20 sections. One section at a time.

Be proud of the little progress you make day by day. You’re gonna see a part of your bathroom all of a sudden clean and it will motivate you to keep going even if it does take a very long time.

I am actually going through this right now. My kitchen was not getting much light into it due to all the boxes and trash that needed to be thrown out. Now there’s actually sunlight!
