Honestly, this makes sense to me. One of the reasons people don't tidy is getting overwhelmed. Either at an emotional layer, because they see everything. Or at a visual layer, because they stop seeing anything. If you could trim it back to first visualizing the room as clean and then showing them one activity (e.g., see only dishes, so you can focus on collecting those), you might help people retrain.

- wpietri 3y agoGood thing I didn't do that! Actual people actually report actually feeling overwhelmed. They describe the experiences as I describe them. Blogs give strategies to deal with these specific feelings. Is it possible that learning some particular skill will help with that? Surely! Are there other reasons that people might also not clean, ones related to not learning something? Also yes. But that's no reason to show up and be aggressively contrary. Some people's experiences are different than yours and you don't have to leap in to deny that just because it's different for you.
