What makes you productive? I need tips/ideas/tricks.

My apartment is a mess, but I'm too lazy to clean it because I'm unmotivated. I cleaned a small bit of it (mostly taking stuff off my countertops in the kitchen), but I haven't done much overall. I try to do little things here and there to make progress, but somehow I manage to make a mess elsewhere once I clean up an area and put things away.

I can never win; that's why I'm unmotivated. I wouldn't say I'm "depressed," but when depression hits, it's much worse.

I fear that my apartment complex's management will come into my apartment to check my smoke alarms since I've been here for almost a year, and well, my apartment looks atrocious. (Trust me, it looks REALLY BAD: (clean) clothes everywhere, electronics, messy counters, several boxes that aren't empty, carpets that haven't been vacuumed in 2 months, and plenty more. Stuff ALL OVER THE FLOOR.)
