    Don’t judge the owners. Mine got like this when I had a stroke and was in the hospital two months. My teens and kids tried but they had their stuff and would go see me in hospital every day. Don’t ever say anything bad, you don’t know what anyone is going through. Even the experts on TH-cam don’t show you everything. I know they’re not super human and spend 24/7 cleaning. But we all do the best we can.

      Same! We had a very traumatic birth of our son who wound up in the NICU for 2.5 months and came home with special needs. My home is definitely similar to this one. We clean seemingly nonstop but it never ends. I watch these videos to get ideas on HOW to clean effectively. Make better use of the small amount of time I do have

    Years ago my husband and I were in marriage counseling. After 3 sessions the councilor said, take the money you would pay me and hire a good housekeeper once a week. You'll be OK, but you need help right now when your kids are small. He was right. 42 years and counting. 💜Thanks for helping this family I'm sure it was a relief for them. 💙

Just put the ones not worn often in the closet and keep the ones worn often by the door...just my thought as I live in a small house with a family of five and also have a shoe rack by the door.

When I do something my brain doesn't let me, I start feeling stress and I feel like my time is running out and I take hours to do simple task and I start to cry and I just can't finish what I start. When I am not depressed or stressed my brain bypasses all of that and I can clean so fast and I don't feel overwhelmed at all.

    I find that it's easier to keep clean if you get rid of unneccesary things and keep it minimal, buy things that are easy to clean and not easily broken, make notes of what to do, separate outdoor and indoor shoes, give responsibilities to everyone in house, clean the little things immediately, make it a habit to put everything in its place after use. That and of course time management, although this only help so far if you have the capability and time to.

Then just two months later, covid hit. I was overwhelmed inside of my home and outside of my home that I avoided cleaning because it would send me into a spiral of overwhelm.

Still in that tiny apartment cuz the housing market is insane and can’t afford a 3 bedroom cuz prices got hiked up so much! Last year I had a miscarriage at 15 weeks after a difficult pregnancy, then my husband needed tooth surgery and then we got covid. It just went downhill from there. Finally getting everything back in order but it isn’t easy. It has been a tough few years. I didn’t know how bad my ADHD could get till I wasn’t able to take my kids to a playground and was not able to leave much due to the world being shut down and then everything else followed. It has humbled me a lot to understand others situations.

    After seeing generations of hoarding in the homes of my friends/loved ones taking hold in latter years, I was made aware that it didn't happen overnight. Although a traumatic event might have been the initial trigger, there might even have been other issues related to declining physical/mental health. Eventually more trauma, embarrassment, shame, the person became so overwhelmed that simply deciding to start was an issue and it was just easier to tune it all out and ignore it.
    I commend people for getting the help that you both recommend and also provide. You are wonderful.

    It's truly amazing what you're doing for others in need. I have fibromyalgia and sometimes it's hard just washing the dishes. I still push myself but it's gotten out of control before and it's overwhelming when you don't feel well or when it's gotten to the point where you don't even know where to start and if you'll ever even be able to start. People don't understand.

      They will never understand. It's like trying to understand why it (statistically) takes an abused woman seven times to leave her abuser. I don't understand that but I can also understand the fear and hesitation over planning to leave.
      The worst, however, in the context of cluttered houses, is they think they need to understand to have empathy and compassion ... they don't.
      I often see comments from those who could use help and wish I knew if anyone lived near me because I'd love to help.
      I understand. I have a few conditiins, physical and mental. The truth is, each human has something, whether they tell anyone or not.
      I've heard this man suggest just do 3 ft, or a desk top, at a time. I've heard suggestions of setting a timer which wouldn't work for me as I'd be anxious about the timer going off.
      You must take care of yourself and you can only do what you are able to do. If you have a close friend maybe they can help you for a bit?

I also like the occasional ones where you do a bit of voiceover explaining what you're doing, although it seems like adding the voiceover might make video production a lot more work, so it makes sense not to add it when it isn't essential.
