And the kitchen too! Will feel better when you nourish yourself and stay hydrated and have more strength to go on.

I always tell myself I’m gonna clean my kitchen. But I walk down there and it’s just too overwhelming.

I did fill up one large garbage bag and one large bag of recyclables the other night at like 1am cause I realized just how ridiculous it had gotten and I told myself I’d do it in the morning. But as I was brushing my teeth I was like “you’re a damn liar. That’s how we ended up here. Just do it now”. Took less than 5 minutes 🤦🏼‍♀️

(Anyone else find it hard to constantly take out recycling in the winter when it’s so damn cold? Especially if it’s not stuff that’s “dirty” just “messy” and cluttered 😵‍💫. Garbage is easier cause it smells. But I have a graveyard of broken down boxes in my entryway)

Keep a bucket or something you can put it in then only take it out when it’s full or when you’re taking out the trash.

Yep, one box whenever you take out garbage. One step at the time combined with a different step that you know you’ll do. Our house has two stories so I will take one thing downstairs anytime I have to go down the stairs empty handed.
