This is how I gentle parent myself at 38. It works 9 out of 10 times. Sometimes my adhd knows I’m working it and refuses all moving 🤣

I've been using "eh. future me would appreciate it" I use future me as a SEPERATE entity so I follow through and then enjoy my future time no stress

Gaslighting myself to do chores is the most ADHD thing ever.

relatives coming within 24 hours can't be beat when it comes to motivation to get the house cleaned

tricking your brain like a toddler is so real. I give myself a choice between two hated tasks so I can get one done by avoiding doing the other 🙄

yeah, but then "object permanence" means those bathroom supplies sit in the middle of the floor for the next 5 years 😅

Important caveat: You MUST actually allow yourself to stop after one. Same thing for showers. Sometimes you have to step inside and then give up on showering or this trick dies from overthinking.

I used to have a game w/ the neighbor on who would shovel their driveway first. I always won .... he never knew it was a thing cause I never talked to the guy. But it got me to do it. 😂

I use the “touch it once” rule. Instead of putting dishes in the sink I rinse and put in the dishwasher. Same with laundry.

Put whatever you cannot leave the house with on top of your phone. If I pick up my phone I’ll pick up the item and take it with me 😇

Have you also tried folding laundry while watching TV or YouTube? I can do an entire load in just a couple episodes! I'm already sitting there, might as well do something useful!

i do the, wash the dish immediately after using it bc it's still in my hand and I don't want to do dishes later, so just do it now while I'm up.

Marie kondo saying "why put it down when you can put it away?" and "never leave a room empty-handed" has helped me actually so much. It clicked in my brain in a good way.

I just remember why I even care about folded clothes and notice that I actually DO like a orderly home, then I can do it as an act of self love and it's cool to do it. it's not a chore anymore

I use the time loop technique, I say to myself “If I wake up in a time loop tomorrow it would really suck if I had to waste time doing the dishes”

My best cleaning hack is, put a box in the room for everything that doesn't belong and DON'T leave the room until it's clean. Then I can take the box objects to their spots. No more side adventures!

Except I have ADHD, so I will deep dive into the pile of laundry when I’m supposed to be picking out a shirt for my doctors appointment in 15 minutes.
