I cleaned my entire apartment today.

[degeneratewaste]

my apartment was fucking disgusting. borderline squalid, if I'm honest. but I finally did it. I have cleaned my entire place. it feels strange not to be sitting uncomfortable with my own filth. it's been hard, and I'm exhausted now, but I did it.

Feels good, right? Good job buddy. Make sure to commit the good vibes to your brain. I think folks like us have trouble storing joy from good events.

 

[woxihuanni]

Way to go! I feel relieved for you. I'd do the same if I was allowed any agency in this house.

Mine looks like someone burgled it. I have stuff all over the bed which I'm sleeping in. I haven't washed the dishes since God knows when. I feel your pain!! Way to go for pushing through!!

 

[Good4Nothing]

Can you come help me clean mine?

literally the entire contents of my cupboard were all over my worktops. I had so many dishes that I had nothing clean left. the change that I've seen today has been pretty damn drastic.

Can you come help me clean mine?

I am exhausted now. but maybe after a nap ;-)

Well done!

 

[DJJE]

Well done. It can be tough to do when you don't have a system or a routine. I used to have a 3 productive things rule. Where I'd only have a beer in the evening if I'd done 3 productive things in a day.

Well done! Hopefully you will sleep well tonight.

[HelloHell]

Way to go!

[LonelyDude15]

I still haven't got around to doing mine. I feel like a pig.

Aw no, you're not a pig :( I get lazy when it comes to cleaning my room too. I have to usher up so much energy both physically and mentally and usually in the end I just give up.

 

[DeadbyDawn63]

It's getting me down, well more down. I've tried little bits at a time but it doesn't work anymore.

Yeah I get that.. I wish things didn't have to be so hard. I feel so lazy all the time and it makes my already horrible mood 10x worse.

Procrastination tip for you boys and girls:

If you're putting something off, take an object related to whatever task it is and leave it out in a place that you frequent or occupy for most of the day. For example when I need to hoover, I'll get up and leave the hoover in the hall until I eventually do it. Similarly, I bought an alcohol stove about 2 months ago and haven't used it yet. It was in my backpack. I took it out today and just left it on my desk. I have already took it apart and learned all the parts. Tomorrow I will light it for the first time. I've found that out of sight is often out of mind, so I just try to reverse engineer it by forcing my monkey brain to see.

I do exactly this. I irritate myself into doing things I'm putting off. I'm currently putting off testing different sims in my phone to get the provider with the best reception, and doing a clean remove/reinstall of my graphics drivers.

You're welcome, now hurry up with that milk. I'm drinking black tea over here like a savage

It always feels really good to clean up a space, and it seems like the extra effort and energy it takes makes the reward even greater. It certainly can be hard to push ourselves to do things as intensive as cleaning. Congratulations on achieving such a healthy goal.

I've realized it's really not normal to have a toaster on your bed...

Lol sounds like a fire hazard.
