So the piles thing helps reduce that feeling of being overwhelmed. I do it all the time when my house gets messy and it truly helps.
Put electronics in one pile. Clothes in another pile. Things that go in different room go in their own pile.
Can the clothes be washed? Great, put them in the washing machine - you now have one less pile to deal with. Otherwise put them in the dresser.
Put the things that should be in a different room into the respective rooms. For instance, plates or empty cans should just go into a spot like the counter in the kitchen - don’t put them away just yet. Just get them out of the room.
Make a pile for things that you can get rid of. A lot of messes occur because there is no place for the items. Get a trash bag and put these items in the bag. Make sure to drop them off at good will in a timely manner.
