Tidy in small doable chunks and make it part of your routine. For example clear your desk at the end of the day before you quit. Or make your bed as you get out of it. It takes a few days for this to feel like I have it and then you routinely the small things to help you tidy up
Getting up early and sorting most things before you start the day. It makes u feel organised and accomplished, also wakes you up. Then you have less to do in the evening when u may be busier or tired.
When working from home, I like to use the pomodoro method (25 mins focused work sessions with 5-min breaks in between) and on every break get up and clean a bit. You can do suprisingly much in 5 min, plus it gets you up and moving from the desk!

I guess cleaning up everything is my tip. Because of my ADHD, I really can’t just clean up one thing and then not clean up basically the whole house. So I pick one day every month just to clean up my house. I know it’s not going to stay super clean for very long, but at least I feel happy about it, and I’m not fighting my hyper fixation.
Create an environment you look forward to tidying in. Light some incense or pop some music or a tv show on that you love. Or do it with a friend!
Whell everywone has a different stategie but personaly i start with picking up trash and stuff that doesnt belong in your room. Then i make my bed and clean the floor and wipe down my desks!
Put things back as soon as you are done with it. Give every item a designated place. And if you can’t clean the whole house at one go, try one room or part of a room.
Do it in layers/ steps. For example 1 . Pick items off floor 2. Put items in appropriate places trash in bin laundry in basket etc. 3. Hoover floor 4. Clean surfaces 5. Make bed 6. Use air freshener and open windows
To focus on one room at a time. Working my way from the left corner or wall to the right until I am back at the entrance of the room where I started. Also carrying a bin or bucket in order to gather the things that do not belong in that area, and put them back where they belong.
