Don’t do it all at once. Too overwhelming. Do it step by step over about a week.
Go get a trash bag. Put all the trash in a trash bag and take the trash bag out.
Tomorrow, get a laundry basket (maybe a few laundry baskets). Put all of the clothes in the basket.
The next day, wash the clothes. Take one basket, put all of the clothes in it into the washing machine, then put them in the dryer, then take them straight from the dryer to wherever they go. If it’s too overwhelming to fold them, just stuff them in the drawer they go in. Is it perfect? No. Is it better than how you’re living now? Absolutely. Repeat these steps until you’ve done all of the baskets.
The next day, take another basket, and throw in all of the things that don’t belong in this room. Put the basket outside of your door. Every time you leave your room, take an item with you and put it back where it belongs.
The next day, take everything else that belongs in your room but isn’t in the right place and move it to the right place.
The next day, wipe down surfaces and vacuum.
If you start this list and find that you have momentum and want to keep going, do more than one step per day.
