I am overwhelmed by The Pile of mess in my house and feel like a failure as a clean person. I've tried various methods to tackle the problem, but they haven't worked for me. After reading a piece of writing by Saaed Jones, I realized that instead of trying to be productive or clean, I should focus on finding systems that work for who I am, rather than who I think I should be. I created a system for my laundry, starting with small improvements and making it manageable, which has led to progress and reduced stress. This approach can be applied to other areas of life, such as work or organization, by breaking down tasks into smaller, achievable steps and finding ways to make them more manageable through systems like "go-back boxes" and accountability measures. By doing so, I've made my home feel safer and more beautiful, and I'm proud of myself for taking control of my mess.
