Awash in a sea of clutter and half finished projects

It seems lately that anytime I log in to my messenger I am using the 'busy- cleaning' status. It's not that I am always cleaning, just I do so little at one time that there is always more to do. Maybe. If I actually had a clue I would be living in a clutter free-glass shining-nothing on the floor but carpet and furniture apartment. Which...I am not. I used to leave the kitchen and the bathroom for Mike when he lived here. Sort of to make him feel better about not paying bills or rent. He could do the cleaning of the worst areas. Problem there was that 1) he did stereotypical guy cleaning ( most visible of surfaces) and 2) he was just as busy as I was with school so dishes were only done every few days, bathroom once a month, that sort of thing. So post-breakup it really shouldn't be that hard for me to take over those parts and get the apartment into shape, right? Pfft. I come home, I collapse into bed (or recliner or computer chair) and I veg until it's time for bed. Even now I am looking around me as I type thinking "what would be the best way to attack this situation?" Note: I am looking around thinking it, not getting up and doing it. It's sad.
There are so many projects half started because I need to devote full attention to them and lately I just don't have the attention span. I haven't worked on the graphic novel for six months! Haven't even taken the note pad into the bedroom in case I come up with ideas while laying in bed. Haven't worked on character sketches or layouts. A few months back I was working on a sketch for a project in the Be Creative Damnit thread on The Board(http://http://neilgaimanboard.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/588609765/m/77110563441) and after several false starts I told myself I had one solid take from beginning to end, no retakes, just whatever came out came out. I drew, I inked, it sucked. It was the worst sketch I have done since I was in highschool! I don't have a natural talent for free style drawing, or even a class taught ability. I have taught myself everything I know. And it looks like I have forgotten it all! I wish I could draw out a schedule for my free time. Clean from A to B, restroom B to B.5, Draw from B.5 to C, etc. Every day like that and I could really get back on track. Too bad I'm still so sick and have little control over what I get to do...
Sigh. Alright. I am getting up. I am blowing my nose. (Yes, you need to know that.) And then I am going to start cleaning. Maybe.
