Cleaning my room by triage, and ten-minute intervals, with a timer, to keep me going.

I have most of the craft supplies in bags now, and have enough room to start putting the clean clothes away.

After that I'm afraid I'm going to be mostly shoving things in a corner, and then putting the tidy-looking boxes/bags with craft stuff at the front of that to make it look as if it's semi-organised. I might get as far as putting Flat Papers (currently in 2 or 3 piles) into a filing box, but don't hold your breath.

Currently on 10-minute water break.

I've read about the concept of working for a set period, then ten minutes of "fun", then working for a set period again, then ten minutes of "fun" (lather, rinse, repeat).

Glad to see that it appears to be working for you - I think I'd *need* the timer to make sure I stuck to my plan, too :)

It's more like ten minutes of one area, ten minutes of the next area, ten minutes of a third area, and a ten minute water break.

And I'm behind where I want to be, but have done a fair amount given the amount of time I've been doing this.

I like the ten-minute idea, and may give it a go.

Having seen your room, you seem to regard tidying much as I do, i.e. that the result is very useful, but the process of getting there is unspeakably distasteful.
