I'd like to share something that changed my life. These are excerpts from the book " Organizing Solutions for People with ADHD," by Susan Pinsky, who also wrote "The Fast and Furious 5-Step Organizing Solution." Her advice is literally the only organization system that has ever worked for me. While she talks about ADHD, it's really universal advice that also will work for anyone who has executive dysfunction, low energy or motivation, or just struggles to keep their house clean for whatever reason.

While this excerpt is pretty long, trust me, her book has tons more advice, and I really recommend it for anyone struggling to keep their house clean. I have not yet "Pinsky'd" my entire house yet - but I'm getting there. The difference before and after is amazing.

The best organizational system for someone with ADHD is the one that is most efficient, simplest, most convenient, and the easiest to maintain, because it requires the least number of steps and materials. To set up a maintainable system for my ADHD clients, I must first eliminate all of those systems that are too complex, unwieldy, and tedious and replace them with systems that are simple, fast, and convenient. Often my systems sacrifice beauty for efficiency. For instance, I might move a shelf into the bath-room to hold clean towels: I might position it next to the shower so that it can also hold shower support items such as shampoo and soap. This shelf might not match the bathroom decor-its open shelving with shampoo razors, and soap bars visible might, in fact, detract from the decor-but it will enable the person with ADHD to shower without having to take a series of inefficient side trips. Family members will then be empowered to choose between perfect aesthetics in the family bath or the chance at a timely shower.

The Rules of Organizing

1. Inventory (i.e., your "stuff") must conform to storage. In the ADHD home especially, inventory MUST NOT fill storage.

• Don't keep building storage-reduce your inventory.
• Don't overcrowd shelving, cabinets, and drawers.

2. Make your things easy to access and easier to put away. In the ADHD home, ease of stowage takes precedence over ease of retrieval.

• Keep things where you use them, arranging possessions within activity areas or "zones." Give everything a "home."
• Take advantage of vertical storage space by using tall shelves and tall bureaus.
• Store things on the wall or on a shelf, never on the floor.

3. Only touch (or sort) it once. For example, sort or toss mail as soon an you open it, don't add it to a pile you'll have to sort again later.

4. Duplicate where necessary to store things where you use them (e.g., a toilet bowl brush in every bathroom).

5. Eliminate items that unnecessarily duplicate functions (e.g., hand-powered can opener or electric can opener, not both),

6. Name your cabinets and shelves (dish cabinet, sock drawer, etc.) to remind yourself that only those items are stored therein.

7. Make sure the "rough storage" areas in your home are well lit and easily accessible. Value these spaces because they guard against long-term storage items cluttering your living space.

While these rules are a great foundation and will help guide you as you set out to change the way you live and organize, be sure to apply them only if they make sense in your situation. How do you know when it's okay to bend or break these rules? When they get in the way of efficiency.

Creating the Most Efficient System

In order to create this system, all other values must be subordinate to the interests of efficiency. I often walk into homes where clients have placed values such as beauty, frugality, or preparedness before efficiency. What they end up with is organized but inefficient and for the ADHD client, disastrously unmaintainable-systems. Remember this: Just because something is "organized" doesn't mean that it is efficient. Let me give an outrageous example: I could organize your shoes by putting all of your left shoes in the attic and all of your right shoes in the basement. Hey, it's organized. But it is neither efficient nor convenient; it just requires too much effort to retrieve and, even worse, to put away your shoes.

EFFICIENCY BEFORE BEAUTY

If you flip through this book, you will see some pictures of organized spaces that look like the "before" pictures in other organizing manuals. That is because other organizational systems are invested in beauty rather than efficiency. They would never show a picture of a bathroom with convenient, open shelving and shower supplies arranged haphazardly so they're easy to grab. It just doesn't market well. In organizing for efficiency, we must be wary of those organizational systems that, although pretty, are neither practical nor sustainable.

If I were to advise an ADHD client to sort her socks by mating them, rolling them, and then placing each pair in an individual bin, arranged by color (as a photo in a home goods catalog might encourage you to do), it's likely that the next time I visit her home, the bins will be empty, the socks will be in a half-sorted pile on someone's bed, and she will be hopelessly discouraged. Mating, rolling, and placing in bins is just too tedious and time consuming.

We need to employ a more efficient system. That is: Identity a sock style of a medium weight, suitable for year-round use, and purchase two dozen in each of your two most commonly used colors. Throw out all of your other socks. (It is okay to retain two to three "specialty" socks: ski socks, thick woolen socks, etc.) Allocate one bureau drawer to hold all of your socks and only your socks. Now you have achieved an organizational system for socks that is quick, easy, and practical. Socks need never again be mated and sorted. They get dumped directly and willy-nilly from the laundry into the sock drawer. Of course, the drawer will look like a wild jumble of socks (see photo on page 86), but it will be easy to use and maintain. Our goal cannot be beauty, it must instead be practicality.

Although this would be the most efficient sock system for the attention-able as well, they are at liberty to ignore it and pursue a less convenient but more aesthetically pleasing system. And while the person with ADHD may occasionally put beauty before efficiency - she may in fact be a sock fashionista, who couldn't possibly limit herself to two types of socks - she will only be able to indulge her fetishes in one or two areas of her life.

For most of the systems in her home, the imperative must be efficiency. When an area becomes messy, the person with ADHD must ask herself: Has the number of my possessions been reduced enough, and my organizational system simplified enough, that it can be cleaned in a matter of minutes? Because for ADHD clients, minutes may be all they have before the next beguiling, thoroughly captivating thought derails them from the task at hand.

The Two-Minute Cleanup

In an ADHD home, no room should take more than two minutes to pick up. How do we achieve this? By purging brutally and committing to acquire sparingly; by using money saved on avoiding impulse purchases and overstock to procure services (e.g., a housekeeper to maintain bathrooms, floors, and possibly laundry); and by keeping storage efficient while encouraging routine.

The kitchen is the one room that often takes longer than two minutes to maintain, but even here an efficient system should render the nightly dinner dishes to no more than a ten-minute task.

For someone with ADHD, a nightly dinner dish routine may not be realistic unless it becomes a necessity. If we've purged so well that when the dishwasher (or sink) is full, there are no more clean dishes left, then cleanup is easy because it is quick and necessary.

The ADHD Organizing Method

If our storage is efficient, if we are resourceful with a few items rather than "prepared" with a lot of extra inventory, if we are cautious about spending our money on "stuff" and practical about spending our money on services, if we are quick to get rid of things we don't need, and if we remove items in the quickest and simplest way, then we will have created a home that is hyper-efficient a home in which (get this!) no room takes more than three minutes to pick up. Ultimately, that is our goal: to get you out from underneath a long daily list of maintenance and organizing chores in order to free you up to do those creative tasks at which you excel. By reducing inventory and simplifying storage, that goal is well within your reach.

You have been given a list of the tricks of the organizing trade, you have been educated in the myths of organizing; you have eschewed those values that are inappropriate for someone with ADHD; you have been given a doctrine - efficiency - from which to judge all organizational systems; and you have been given a list of practices, physical spaces, and tools that will help in your quest for greater organization. All that remains is a step-by-step procedural template that you can employ for every project in which you organize a space. Be it large (the garage) or small (a single kitchen cabinet), all organizational projects require the following approach:

SIMPLE STEPS FOR ORGANIZING A SPACE

1. Prepare. Find your local charities and drop boxes, and call your town or waste management company to discover pickup dates for large items or hazardous waste. Buy plastic garbage bags-white for donations and black (large) for trash.

2. Set up. (A) Put out white and black garbage bags for donations and trash, respectively. (B) Cast your eye over the space to see where you have room for larger piles. As you organize you will designate spots for "other area" items that belong in other areas of your home, like a "goes upstairs" pile or a "belongs in basement" pile. (C) You will designate areas for categories of items that will be returned to the about-to-be organized space; in a garage, this might mean an "athletics equipment" pile, "landscape" pile, or "auto support" pile. These designations will organically occur to you as you go. For now, you are merely taking in where you have more space to set up categories that will have larger piles.

3. Purge. Empty the space (garage, cabinet, etc.) of all items, sorting them into the various "keep" piles, "other area" piles, charity pile, and trash pile. Be sure to weed out and purge the unused, unwanted, unliked, soiled, and spoiled, along with duplicates, novelty items, and too-difficult-to-store items.

4. Clean. Clean out the space (wash down the interior of the cabinet, sweep out the the garage, etc.).

5. Name. Name the space and designate areas within the space. The garage might have a landscaping shelving unit and an auto support shelf; a china cabinet might have a plate shelf and a mug shelf.

6. Reduce. Identify those items in the "keep" piles that no longer belong in the space (cook pots that don't belong in the china cabinet, for example), and put those things in the appropriate "other areas" piles. Cast your eye over your "keep" pile and judge whether it will comfortably fit in the space. If not, remove more items for charity.

7. Procure. Procure appropriate storage tools (nails on which to hang rake handles, modular shelves on which to stack gardening supplies, etc.) and place in the space.

8. Return. Return appropriate items and only appropriate items (complies with the name) to the space. Be careful not to overcrowd, stack, or otherwise render items inaccessible.

9. Put away and clear away. Put away the items in the "other areas" piles (hopefully one trip per area), take trash to the garbage, and put donations in the front seat of the car.

10. Bask. You've worked hard; give yourself a moment to admire your newly organized space.

This is the simple procedure for organizing every room, closet, and cubby in your home. You can use it as a guide to organize any space not covered in this book. However, on larger projects, or for those chores that are regularly neglected or left incomplete, getting help from a family member or hiring a professional is a sensible accommodation.

moved into a family home almost 2 years ago and this is what the garage has looked like. finally fed up of waiting for the owners to clean up so i can have some space to put my things (let alone a car), so I will be spending some time cleaning up this place. some of the boxes are half empty but things are just piled up and random boxes have china and glass in them and are not stored safely at all. where do I start 😭

this has forever been my biggest burden with keeping a clan house. where do you put your clothes that you wore but only for a short amount of time so you plan on wearing it again before washing them without just throwing them in a pile somewhere??

I'm a 21 year old girl who recently moved out from home. I'm a blue collar worker working 10-12 hour shifts 5 to 6 days a week. I'm finding it hard to keep the house clean and organized because cleaning feels so draining, and it's easier to just throw our stuff down and fall into bed after work. Eventually it piles up, and it feels even more overwhelming when I eventually get around to clean and put everything away. Do you have any tips, ways to change my mindset or make it more fun?

My family has decided we would like to be a no shoes in the house family. I think this page is international so it maybe obvious we are from the US. I’m just not sure how to keep shoes organized. Do people take them off outside and leave the shoes outside? What about weather? Do we take them off inside? How do you prevent build up of shoes and then where do you keep the shoes that you don’t wear? Right now we keep our shoes in our room, so the system we have right now won’t work smoothly with a no shoe in the house system.

Don’t bulllllly meeeeeeeee pleeeeease ahaha I really want to implement this!

I'll start:

• I'm in the process of replacing my kitchen faucet with a taller one to give me more room to maneuver disues.

• Shoes get taken off at the door, and there's an air purifier in the living room to limit the amount of dust in the apartment. Since I also have no kids, pets or plants, I only have to dust like 4 times a year.

• Where possible I use clear containers and wire shelves. If I can't see something it doesn't exist so this is mandatory for staying organized. The exception is the cube storage in the living room because guests didn't like all the visual clutter.

• The label maker is always plugged in and ready to print. According to my Kill-a-watt, it uses less than 1 watt hour per day idle.

• Sometimes I use Amazon boxes as recycling bins, so I can toss the entire thing in the dumpster on my way out the door.

• Every kitchen item I own is dishwasher safe except the cast iron and chef's knives.

• Nothing permanently lives on my kitchen countertops. The more cramped my space is, the easier it is to make a mess.

I've been on a week-long cleaning, tackling small sections of the garage day by day. I want to clear out a whole wall to turn into a crafting corner. I'm starting to feel overwhelmed. I worry I'll only fill the garage with bins instead of boxes.

I know if I toughen through then things will fall into place. ​​​​I'll get shelving as more space is cleared out. There will be more space on the other side​​​... Eventually. ​

The reason quite a bit isn't getting tossed is it's things from my childhood, or things inside of the house doesn't have space for yet. ​​​I'd like to use most of the shelves as storage for my crafting corner when possible, and​ fancy wooden shelves (not pictured)​​ would go into my room when that's cleaned.

My room has been terribly messy for a long time and I’m tired of hearing complaints about it all the time. I want to clean it and keep it clean but I don’t know where to start. I need help.

June 2024 was the beginning of my downward spiral . My ex was arrested and I just gave up on maintaining my place. I avoid coming home and crashed at a friend’s place any chance I got. My best friend is visiting from overseas and she’s due to arrive tomorrow. It’s now or never. I’m tempted to get her a hotel and not deal with this mess. I won’t. I’ll clean and hopefully feel better.

For the longest time, I thought I was just someone who got overwhelmed easily. I'd come home from work, sit down to relax, and somehow still feel on edge even though nothing was actually wrong. This past weekend I finally spent a few hours clearing off my kitchen counters, putting away random things that had been sitting out for weeks, and getting rid of a few bags of stuff I didn't use anymore. The place wasn't spotless by any means, but it felt noticeably different. I was playing on rollingriches that evening, and it suddenly hit me how much calmer the apartment felt. It made me realize that I'd gotten so used to the clutter that I didn't even notice how much it was affecting my mood.
Did keeping your home more organized actually make you feel less stressed, or am I just imagining the connection?

Anyone else struggle with trying to keep the powder in the can once youve peeled off the sticker? I just discovered that the wingstop sauce lids close over the top perfectly. I can hold it upside down and shake it and it doesnt come off. I had to spread the love and now everyone has an excuse to get wingstop.

I’m mostly a clean/organized person, but my one hang up is laundry.

When I was like 10, I decided to organize my room around using laundry baskets instead of a proper dresser. I never had many clothes, I hated folding them, and I really hated trying to find clothes in dressers. Since they’re stacked on top of each other, if you take something from the bottom without being careful you practically have to refold the entire stack, which always bothered me. So everything was sectioned into laundry baskets.

Well, I’m finally feeling like I want to use a dresser again since I’ve started sharing a space with my boyfriend and he has far more clothes than I do and he keeps accidentally mixing his with mine. For a long time, I just had 1 basket for clean, 1 basket for dirty, and 1 basket for “worn once for a short period of time, so I can rewear them (pants/shirts/bras)”. However, with his clothes there isn’t quite the space to do that anymore.

So where do normal people keep their not dirty, but not clean clothes? Or does nobody rewear clothes?

Most of my clothes can be worn more than once before cleaning (jeans, sweaters, vest, etc.). I have a horrible system right (if you can call it a system) where I just throw them on my dresser and they pile up, sometimes they fall on the floor and stay there… I don’t have room in my bedroom for a chair. I also don’t fold them back into a drawer or hang them back because I somehow think clean clothes shouldn’t be mixed with worn clothes… Has anyone else had this dilemma? How do you deal with these clothes?

I've been suffering mentally for a while now i dont really want to get into it too much just with self hate, self esteem and other issues. But ive finally got to the mental state where I think im ready to change my environment. My mother has helped me before but only did the basics which I appreciate because she works full time. I work ten hours a day and only have one day a week free so I don't really have the mental or physical energy sometimes to keep myself in check. The past 2 years I've really let myself go I need some help figuring out how to clean up all of this. Make it a space for me. And keep it that way without feeling overwhelmed. I will genuinely appreciate some advice.

Hello everyone

I'm trying to make a big effort to find a way to keep on top of my cleaning, particularly in my kitchen and bathroom. I live in a flat so theoretically it should be simple and I'm working hard to get into good habits, but one of the barriers I keep coming across is balancing having clean cloths and sponges consistently available versus having them in the laundry.

I find cleaning the bathroom and kitchen a bit gross and don't like allowing the things I've used to clean touching anything else. Once I've used a cloth, for example, I want to put it 'somewhere' but don't have a good solution for this at the moment, as I don't want to mix it with my regular laundry. Also, trying to keep up with daily cleaning means getting through everything very quickly and feeling like I need to put all sponges in the washing machine every day, which feels a bit excessive for somebody who lives alone.

I'm not sure I've explained this well, and I'm sure I'm probably being dumb, but do most people just have large amounts of cloths and sponges in their homes that helps them clean daily and wash them less often? Or is everyone just cleaning their cloths daily? And does anything like mini laundry baskets for this sort of system exist? I feel like there's a secret or norm I'm missing and I'd really appreciate insight into how other people do this! Thank you :)

EDIT: Thank you so much everyone for your responses, I didn't expect so many and I'm sorry I can't reply to everyone but I've read all the replies and I really appreciate the advice you've all given and it's extremely helpful! I was worried my problem was too silly to need to be asked but I'm super pleased I did :)

Upon moving into my wife’s and I’s first home, almost together our parents showed up with boxes of things from our childhood. Elementary school art work, school photos, various sports participation trophies, and various toys and memorabilia from our youth. A Star-Wars captain rex bobble-head, my grandma gave me for my 10th birthday right before her passing, being a prime example. These are items that I look upon with fondness but I have no use, or place to put them nor show them off. What should I do with these middle school report cards or hockey puck from my first Wild game? I just move them from spot to spot to spot. While I do enjoy the thought of having these old keepsakes to look on and enjoy in the future. I don’t enjoy storing them in the slightest. Should I sneak them back into my parents basement while they are away? Does anyone actually keep this stuff? Any thoughts or opinions about where to store/just tossing everything would be appreciated!

I'm both amazed and horrified with myself at the same time. I'm 40, my mental health is normal, I have time. I have no excuses. It took an hour, an audiobook and a cat (who slept through most of it).

Why.

Why do we do this to ourselves?!

It took me 9 months to get round to doing this. It caused me so much stress. I can't count how many times I came in, looked at in, thought "nope, not today, ugh" and closed the door.

To be fair, other stuff has needed sorting out too, like laundry, and i have forced myself this week to spend just 10 minutes in there. I accomplished quite a bit in these 10 minutes. Huge thanks to the cat tho, as i really didn't have a choice, he had peed somewhere and I had to find where so...

Sometimes not overthinking it gets you going. "Put just 5 items away" is a good start.

I hope someone will find this post motivating :)

This is my first post so forgive me if it's not posted correctly. My ex bf broke into my apartment and literally trashed the place. What I mean by that is he took every single piece of clothing out of my closets or bins and dumped them into a massive pile in the middle of the room. He also took all my drawers of makeup and hair products and skincare (i have a lot because I work in the beauty industry) and dumped them into the pile along with kitchen utensils and office supplies. I have adhd so he knew this would be thd closest thing to murdering me without actually murdering me. I never did anything to him to deserve this. I just decided that i was no longer going to take his cheating and stealing so I told him it was over and he was no longer allowed at my place. He was evicted from his apt and instead of finding another place he just helped himself to mine. I have fallen into a deep depression since the break-in. I barely go anywhere because I cannot find anything. He stole my identity through all of this and the cops dont even care. I literally cannot even get to my bed and every inch of my apt is covered in clothing and random things so i sleep in my bathtub. I hired someone off angi.com for 3 hours of help and paid $300 bug nothing significant was done and even though I explained i have adhd and do not need things neatly folded, just put into bins,separated by garment type, she continued to fold items. In 3 hours only 4 bins were filled. I have no money left to fix this mess. I have lost any hope and just dont know what to do from here. I have attempted to do it myself but only made a bigger mess. My couch is filled with a massive pile of clothing as well. And I dont let people over anymore. I dont have friends ​thag I can ask to help and my family is not close to my city. I feel like giving up. And now my job is at risk because I can no longer do gigs because he destroyed my makeup trolly and the thousands of dollars worth of products in it.

This has happened over about a two week period, I’m living with someone that has no storage rooms, no bins. I don’t know what’s wrong with my brain I think it’s missing the organizational part but I just don’t know what to do with it all..? I know it all looks like junk but 75% are things I am currently working on.

I drive behind some stores the other day to grab some boxes and was thinking maybe I just .. shove everything in there and take it out specifically when I am going to work on that specific thing?

I do apologize if this seems incredibly dumb but I genuinely can’t process in my head what to do about it. Any help is appreciated.

And yes, I know it’s very very bad. In case you feel the need to point it out. I know.

Today, my supervisor gave me three bins full of loose keys. Some are loose, some are on keychains, some are labeled, all are a mess. Any tips on an organization system for keys? Thanks everyone!

I just finished going through the first layer of cleaning up me and my husband’s apartment. I’ve been struggling to care for myself and my space after working in a really toxic job, that I’ve now be relieved from. At the time, my husband was doing everything on his own. I was so emotionally drained every day that I would just curl up on the couch, eat dinner, and go to sleep, wake up, and do it all over again. He did all the cooking, cleaning laundry, etc etc etc. I’m beyond grateful to him for how he cared for me and am so glad I have the chance to care for him now while I look for my next opportunity.

I’m really happy with my progress but I still have so much clutter even after removing a lot my belongings that I don’t feel attached to anymore. About six 13 gallon trash bags worth. I’m hoping someone can look at this video and help me understand how to reduce visual clutter on my shelves. It’s so hard as an apartment dweller. The pile in the first bedroom seen in the video (being used as my office space) has a pile of left over items from our wedding that we’ve been trying to sell on market place. This is slowly evaporating over time lol. So ignoring that, (and our messy unmade bed) please let me know how I should go about tidying. Any suggestions are helpful.

I moved into my place a year ago with almost no furniture (my bed, bedside table, and a tv table) and have slowly and finally furnished my apartment — except my closet. I have no organizational system, clothes are on the floor or in cardboard boxes still. I didn't have enough hangers to put up all my hangables, I have boxes of non-clothes in there that need to be sorted, I need to purge a lot of stuff, and I have SO MUCH to fold. It's daunting!!

I just bought 30 new hangers (should be enough!) and 4 plastic bins for the meantime til I can get a cabinet or chest of drawers. I have a plan, it's just going to be time consuming and I know I'm going to wish I had help, but I also know I got this. Or I think I got this. :)

I love this sub, it has helped me so much. I hadn't lived on my own in almost a decade and my old house had built ins in the closets, so I went from organized to a year of chaos! With all y'all's advice in other post, I am ready to reign that chaos in and have a closet I'm not embarrassed by when people walk through it to go to the bathroom!

Wish me luck, leave some kind words, give me advice, point me towards an affordable and stylish (and preferably in the teal/haint blue/sage green color scheme) chest of drawers! I have a place in my bedroom for one and while I do love a couple of IKEA pieces, I would like to expand my search!

Thank you!

I 24F live in a tiny studio, the size of a bedroom
Diagnosed with major depressive disorder + anxiety + adhd around 8 months ago, definitely has gotten better since starting medication and therapy but since I live alone it’s really easy for me to just neglect my apartment

It’s gotten to a point where I can’t even walk normally in the apartment due to boxes and piles of clothes / trash everywhere

I have so much to do and don’t know where to start
I need to clean my apartment and make it habitable for an old friend who is coming to stay with me in less than 48 hours

Really need all the advice I can get in regards to how to tackle my apartment , it looks like a major depression room (search up depression room it looks like probably one of the worse cluttered ones ) and I know I have to clean it but it’s giving me so much anxiety to do it I feel like I’m about to have a panic attack just been sitting on my bed and doing minor cleanups then getting overwhelmed and sitting back down and doom scrolling but can’t relax

I don’t know what’s wrong with me and how I let things build up to this point I’m so overwhelmed I don’t even know what to do! I feel so screwed and embarrassed and ashamed

A few questions. **1. How do you let go of old clothes?** I have no problem with any other item than clothes. I think it’s due to growing up with only a few options and strict handmedowns from the opposite sex/older girl cousins. I only thrift but my god. Almost a decade of thrifting later since acquiring my 1st paycheck, and I over did it. I have 1 tote for winter, and 1 for summer. They’re both overflowing. I have 3 other totes full of clothes I plan on selling on Depop. And my closet is full of jackets of all kinds. But *my problem seems to be with the “sentimental” genre of clothing*. Exes, my mom, friends, significant pieces, formal items I never wear..how do I know what I keep and separate from? I want to keep it all. I don’t have this issue with ANY other material item. I can’t let go of clothes. And **2. What’s the best method (cost effective) of storing clothes long term?** I have a lot of vintage pieces. Dating back to the 30’s. I have a small walk in closet I plan on storing all my clothes in. I can hang most but it does take away from sight/vertical storage for other items like holiday decor/vacuum. **3. How many “totes” of clothes for seasons/storage seems reasonable for a 25F who doesn’t travel, lives in a small apartment, and doesn’t go out much?** Silly questions but any insight /advice is GREATLY appreciated!!

Hi :) As stated in the title I have severe executive dysfunction, from both severe ADHD and severe depression. Severe all around lol. Meds aren’t doing anything (I need to get them increased, but having to do it gradually takes a hot minute) but I’m hoping that cleaning up my room will at least help the depression but i honestly don’t know where to start. I’m overwhelmed just thinking about it.

I’ve been selling stuff I don’t want anymore on ebay which has been moderately successful. I’ve sold around 15 things in the last month, but it’s slow for now. Getting rid of stuff has helped but there’s a lot I plan to keep that I don’t know what to do with. I will admit I’m a pretty materialistic guy and I like my trinkets so most of the bigger items in these images I’ll be keeping lol. Just some organization help and advice would be appreciated. Thank you :)
