ONLY 2 months?

Seriously, I do not vacuum at all - what little carpet is not covered by furniture in my bedroom does not get vacuumed. I rent a room.

I think my case was much worse than yours and I mean much! And I had apartment managers complain of filth, but now we are down to roommate complaining of two utensils left in the sink overnight and that already makes me feel very crummy. So I have made tremendous progress over the last few years.

One of my solutions is The Container Store and although I was in the past known to go overboard during hypomania and later would get dismally embarrassed when I had to go back and return what could still be returned, overall things from the Container Store are some of my best friends. They are extremely well made, pleasant to hold and look at, carefully thought through and designed, and make caring for clothes, organizing, storing, and cleaning literally pleasant.

And we know from both experience and cognitive science that what is pleasant is what we actually want to do.

If you have some budget for it, I will be happy to post links to some of the things I use again and again with the descriptions of what they do and what they are great.

Note that The Container Store is much, much higher quality than Ikea.
