Dear LFTP: Chronically Sloppy and Overwhelmed

• A listener is chronically sloppy, becomes overwhelmed with anxiety when cleaning, and asks what to do.

Boova reads a Dear LFTP letter from a listener who calls themselves chronically sloppy, overwhelmed with anxiety whenever facing messes, and asks what to do. The hosts advise starting comically small (scrub the egg spatula daily), finding an encourager rather than a harsh accountability paddle, and treating resolution attempts as a marathon; one host adds that persistent overwhelm may signal something deeper like anxiety or self-worth struggles worth facing. The Secular answer recommends admitting the problem, tackling one project at a time, and asking a doctor for a psychotherapist referral.
