How to clean when you don't have the energy

This podcast episode introduces the "five things tidying method," a practical approach to decluttering that breaks down the process into five categories: trash, dishes, laundry, things that have a place, and things that don't have a place. By focusing on one category at a time, individuals can make progress without feeling overwhelmed. The method provides a step-by-step guide, starting with collecting trash and gradually addressing the other categories in a systematic manner. The episode emphasizes the importance of assessing motivation and energy levels, reframing cleaning as acts of kindness to oneself, and approaching care tasks with positivity and forward-thinking.
