Have a laundry basket around so if you find something that goes into another room, you just put it in the basket. I always start on one wall and work my way around the room. Keep the vacuum nearby so when you move something out of the way then you can vacuum under it. After that room is clean just make sure it stays that way. Whatever you take out, make sure you always put it away when you are done with it. Clean up after yourself right before you go to bed. It helps to have help. Have someone there to motivate you. Don't turn on the TV. It takes your attention away from what you are doing. Make sure you throw things away. People save too many things they do not need. I don't think you need to see a therapist. Cleaning is not fun. Who wants to clean? I would start just doing one room at a time.

When I need to clean and dont want to I start organizing....then for some reason I just cant stop and I end up cleaning the whole house. It also helps it you have a drink....just one or two while your cleaning....... start doing something small……like sorting through some paperwork or something to that effect….then hopefully the cleaning energy will hit you.

Start small, open some large paper grocery bags place several in each room and start discarding rubbish. Take a break, then, clean the kitchen, take another break, then clean the bathroom. Call it quits for the day. Next day clean the rooms in your apartment, vacuum, dust, wash floors, change bed linens maybe even clean the windows. Done for the day. Next time organize your paper work. But you do need to see a therapist. The old stuff is spoiling your life now. Time to dump it! First, see a therapist you obviously have childhood issues.

I would advise you to start on your bedroom, then bathroom or kitchen, then and type of living room. And reward yourself everytime clean like a piece of chocolate for every room you clean or ice cream whenever you finish your whole apartment.
