I have seen some dirty/messy houses but the houses on Hoarders continue to amaze me. I cannot fully understand how you can let it get to the point where you cannot walk through a room/the entire floor is covered and it's stacking higher and higher. Yikes!!
Stop by MIL's house. She's not a dirty hoarder, but she's got sh!t stacked so high you can't even go into one of the guest rooms. One day she was in there and got trapped under some stuff that fell and was calling for my FIL. He didn't hear her yelling and when he finally got up to go get something out of their bedroom, he heard her. By that time she was crying. He told her she needs to do something with all that crap. I've been saying that for years myself...
We all have days like this...even us OCD ones!
Just do the "surface cleaning" & little things if you're not totally into it.
Make a list and check-off as you go. I find that it helps to write down everything you have to do, so you don't feel as overwhelmed and feel like things are more in your control.

Adoption Journey
Aug 2012 -- Began the foster-to-adopt process
Oct 2012 -- Turning in foster/adopt application, completed background checks, and began classes for foster care and adoption. Dec 2012 -- Adoption placed on hold due to a semi-surprise pregnancy.
That's such an awesome idea, I am struggling with motivation lately here as well.
