We have some things in common here. My aunt was a dry cleaner and she taught me how to organise items to keep the house from being messy. She has different laundry baskets; some for dirty customers clothes and the others for the clean ones. In fact, she had to always separate the ones that are starched from those that aren't.
I developed that habits and always make sure I engage in cleaning weekly and monthly. Also, the mental clutter, yes, it's normal we go through those depressing moments, having time to meditate is important, so also the place of gratitude mustn't be ignored.
