How do you guys stay motivated to keep your place clean?

My place is just me and my cat, but even with that I still feel so down every time I have to clean. Of course I want to live in a tidy home with clean floors and fresh carpets, I’m sure my kitty would be happy for it too, but I just get depressed when thinking about no matter how much I clean, it’ll be dusty again the next day and I’ll have to do it all over again.

I’ve pushed myself plenty of times. I’ve tried watching a few episodes of Hoarders to scare myself into action, and I’ve also thought about getting some machines to help, so there’s less for me to do then I’ll just do the rest immediately. My friend told me he has a yeedi robot vacuum and it’s really useful for picking up his dog’s hair from the floors and carpets, I think getting one could make floor cleaning easier for me, but I’m just skeptical about myself if I’ll actually become more motivated to do the tidying and other unpleasant housework.

Anyway... not gonna lie, I haven't cleaned my place in almost a month now. How am I supposed to start? Guys, any tips?
