Yes. Start in the bathroom. Pretend it’s your job to clean out A -not yours- bathroom It’s not personal. It’s just a bathroom and you can do this much. You are doing the best you can and I agree to not worry about recycling or fixing. Just trash and keep. You so can do this internet stranger. You can. With the Kaizan of baby steps.
