Cleanliness Drabble

I'm not an extraordinarily neat person. But in high school I was flat out disastrously messy. My room looked like a bomb went off in it. My entire house does now anyway, because not only was I messy, but my entire family (with the exception of my saint-like younger brother) was too. 

After living in my own apartment by myself for 1.5 years and various other apartments/dorm room for the other 3, I've learned how to maintain a certain level of neatness. The problem is, if something is already messy then it's difficult for me to clean the mess already made and instead I just add to it because it's already there.

I came home and keep in mind, it took 4 years for me to become neat and pretty OCD about it too. I come home to a family who is once again, very messy. I almost have a conniption every day. My room was terrible, left in the disastrous state I had it in high school. 

Fast forward post college to let's say...now. Currently my room NOW looks like World War 3 erupted and only took place within this 24x18 foot space. 
I'm very, very overwhelmed but I need to clean this room within the next 3 days. How do I do it? Everytime I've tried I'd been distracted or so overwhelmed with the fact that even an hour of cleaning looks like nothing has changed that I give up.

I still have boxes upon boxes of my college and apartment things: furniture, clothes, lamps, my TV etc. and it seems like the amount of useless stuff is never ending. I need to minimize the entirety of my things into less than 5 suitcases. (this includes lamps and dishware etc) for moving out. How do I do it? The feat seems impossible

Anyway, just thought I'd rant. I really just want to help my family get the house in order and together. I hate messiness now. I can't stand it. I can't have anyone over my house in the state it's in now but no one will do anything about it so it's rather overwhelming.

It's 12:40am right now and I'm going to spend the next 3 hours cleaning my room to the best of my ability. Lucky for me, tumblr is down so I can't get too distracted. UGH
