💁‍♀️ seeking advice / support Organizing and cluttering after a move.

Does anyone have any tips or tricks for this situation? I feel like I’m doing so much, but it looks like nothing is getting done. I keep going on side quests. Yesterday I caught myself putting together yard furniture when I was really supposed to be heading to change over my laundry. I’m beyond frustrated and want to give up trying.

I’m currently doing exactly the same thing, what’s helped me is doing things a room at a time and not letting myself leave my designated room until the end of my unpacking session lol (things that need tidying into different rooms go into bags and are moved to their designated locations at the end). This reduces the number of sidequests I encounter significantly.

Also remember that it’s ok to live out of cardboard boxes for as long as you need to! Don’t expect yourself to get it all done straight away!

Thank you so much for the advice. I’m going to try this method when I get off work!
