I CAN CONFIRM THIS WORKS

A few years back I was away for a while and came back to a nasty mouse infestation. When faced with the prospect of deep cleaning and sanitizing items, it made it WAY easier to get rid of stuff that I didn't CRITICALLY need.

Anything important I put in the work, anything not got tossed. I was able to cut back significantly.

Also gave me an excuse to spend a bunch on storage - everything is now stored in clear sealed plastic bins with labels - and left me with enough trauma that I'm now quite vigilant about cleaning :P

Hey look it's me with cockroaches! (It's fun sharing walls with households that have cockroaches. Sharing is caring.)

I like simpler items with fewer parts now.

I had a similar situation with a mould infestation, and I agree that a side effect of something like that is that deciding what to keep and what not becomes generally easier, what it doesn't help with unfortunately is the actual task of sorting, which with executive dysfunction and chronic fatigue is a mountain of itself 😭
