I ended up just making sure my phone has the notes app ready .. so when I am ni the bedroom and think 'ugh, I need to organize the closet', I just wrote it in the app without reading the other stuff again.
Over time I have a pretty nice list of 5 minute things that I can do, and they all lead to more things like 'ugh, that closet probably needs to get dusted off too' . . . just write it down. Having it written down makes it a long term memory, and harder to forget, but it's written down - so you can not stress about it, it's there to be found again.
And throughout the year the closets will get dusted off, clothes organized, bedroom done again, etc - and by December you can look back and go 'holy smokes, I made huge progress', and then 'doing it all again', is 50% less, because there's less hygiene cleaning to do first, and dust is less, and things are still somewhat organized.. you will make even more progress.
I've really noticed just writing down 50 things as tiny as a task as they are, helped me organize, it gave me overview. and doing 5 little things in a week that take 5 minutes to do, makes it very manageable.
