I feel for you. To tidy up a mess first you have to make things even messier. This is the point I normally give up. Thank Cheeses Liz is tidy and good at helping me to sort out stuff, even if that’s only showing there is light at the end of the tunnel.
My top tip is find a small area of proper mess, straighten it up, then once it’s straight and only when it looks tidy pull out the rubbish and throw it away. You have just made the first step and you now have a small space to put things that you are keeping as you tidy and throw away more. Ever just a few cm of clear space is enough to show progress. That’s usually enough to keep me interested for a while.
Good luck.

Thanks @rhb, that looks just the ticket.
@snottyotter I’m happily committed so thankfully no need for online dating. I don’t keep an untidy shared space, unless I’m trying to organise my personal space in which case it tends to spill over. Adding to the challenge is that it’s a lot of small tasks that take a lot of time and concentration to complete, and my staging area is limited because it’s also a shared area.
