Been on a cleaning spree today. I reorganized my whole apartment, cleaned, and also picked out a bunch of things to get rid of and declutter so I have a whole trash bag full of stuff I no longer want/need. I guess I did clean yesterday too. But decluttering and cleaning always feels really good to me. I can’t stand being in an unorganized, cluttered environment. It drives me crazy and makes it hard to relax/focus and makes my anxiety worse. I also did a big load of laundry and put all that away after it was done. I washed clothes, towels and a dish mat and bath mat. I cleaned and changed the litterbox. Swept. Reorganized my books on my shelf. Reorganized my big closet and took a huge box of stuff in there to get rid of. Reorganized the cabinets under my entertainment center and also got rid of some stuff there. And same with my bedside table/drawer/cabinet. I also swept. Yesterday I went through my pantry and got rid of all the expired stuff and in my fridge and freezer too and reorganized everything that was leftover. Looks a ton better. Yesterday I cleaned my bathroom and kitchen. Tomorrow I need to vacuum my living room and bedroom but that’s really it, and probably sweep which I do everyday and wipe down surfaces. And take the trash out.

For a very long time (years) I struggled really hard with cleaning. I’d go months upon months without so much as sweeping, literally, cause I was struggling so bad with motivation. That’s gotten a lot better especially the past few months, it’s become a habit and I feel weird if I don’t do it.
