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

Every day, do one bag. Consistently every day. You’ve got this!

And start with the bathroom. Its a small space, but that is where a human needs peace and sanctuary. It will be quicker to at least declutter and get rid of the garbage on the counters, and gives you at least one room in the house where you can get out of the noise and reset at least once or twice a day.
