Answers:
Well, you can't "get it done" without doing the work, whether you want to or not. After all, it's not like anyone else, confronted with a dirty room, is rubbing their hands with glee in anticipation of all the fun they're about to have. (Not the sane ones, anyway.)
So, do what the rest of us do - realize that cleaning is just one of those things that _needs_ to be done, and that we have a responsibility to do. Then carve out a block of time, and get to work.
get a dumpster and throw it all away
Get a big empty box and start throwing junk in. When your actually in the mood to clean (which for me doesn't happen very often), pull it out and start putting stuff away.
Or start at one corner and work your way around the room. And keep to it, don't stop. Turn up the radio and rock out while doing it.
I'd get three boxes. Put in one things you want to keep and the second things you haven't used in the last six months. The third box is things you want to get rid of or throw away. This works for me all the time.
Tidy the room first--it takes much more time to clean a messy room. Tidy one "zone" at a time. Sometimes it helps to have a box or basket into which you put things that don't belong in your zone. As you move from one zone to the next, things also come out of the box and get put away.
When cleaning, move from top to bottom while following a wall.
Only clean where you see dirt--it's a wast of time and effort to clean something that's not dirty.
At each "piece" of wall, dust from top to bottom, shaking the dust onto the floor or carpet when you get to the bottom, then clean any grease or smudges with a cleanser and paper towel.
When you're done, vacuum the floor and any upolstered furniture. You're done!
I'm dyslexic so I have organization difficulties, I don't know if this what you are experiences as well. I'm an old lady now and I still am not organized. When I need to clean and I don't have the energy for it this is what I've done in the past:
Pretend you are the house cleaner getting $12 an hour and time yourself to see how much you saved doing it yourself, you will feel good when you are done.
Another thing you can do is pretend a friend is coming over in an hour and see how much you can do in that time going as fast as you can.
I pick the things that will change the look of the place the fastest so I will see the changes quickly. I don't push things into a closet to hid them unless I run out of steam and need to stop.
The first thing I do is get a plastic bag and keep it near me to throw things out. That's where I start with things to toss out or with things I need to give away. I also take one area at a time doing only what shows the most before moving on to another area.
I forgot to mention that I always put the timer on when I played these games.

The quickest way to get a job done is to start.How I get motivted to do cleaning when I am in a procrastinating mood is set a timer for 15 minutes and stay focused on this one room for 15 minutes until the timer goes off.How to get really motivated is to see a difference in this 15 minutes.
1.Get 3 boxes one lined with trash bag.Mark them trash, give away(stuff you no longer need or love), and one for stuff that belongs somewhere else.
2.Clean up all trash first you can see.
3 clean up clothes and put them where they need to go.
4.If this a bedroom and you can get to bed make the bed this in itself makes a room look so much better.
Then just pick a spot and start working your way around.
Beleive me getting a bulk of it done in the first 15 minutes really makes it less fearsome.
After 15 minutes takea break for 15 minutes then start again.
Do not worry about moving furniture or any thing first get the visable stuff.
It depends. If its messy then I suggest you grab a trash bag and chuck all the trash laying around in it. Then pick up dishes that may be scattered around and load those into the dishwasher. And last pick up all the dirty clothes and put them in laundry baskets or on the laundry room floor. If its clutter then do the 3 box method other people are suggesting. 1 box for stuff that needs to be donated. 2 box for stuff that doesn't belong in that room 3. box for trash.
