What are your "favorite" chores and how did you make them ADHD-friendly?
I'll start! I invested in a cordless vacuum, primarily because it came with a pet hair accessory but turns out, I love to use it for a quick dopamine hit! Getting a room or two to look clean-ish without the commitment of finding an outlet and dragging a chunky vaccum across the room is a massive help!

I enjoy washing dishes, but only once I've started or when I don't have to do it... So I try and trick myself into thinking I'll just wash a few things, half-assing something is better than not doing it at all, right? I end up usually washing most or all of it anyway. I can do it scatterbrained, like wash some, dry some, put some away, wash a few more. I don't have to focus on just washing. And I'll sing along to the radio and look through the kitchen window and see what the dog is doing.
I also put the dish washing liquid into a pump dispenser and inside the handle of the dish sponge to make the process easier.
yes, the "half-assing" approche works for me aswell. Just wash this one pot, than you are finish. But now the water is already in the sink so why not one more item and so on. But i never dry it, I leave it on the draining board. It is also a great strategy for other activities like clean up/tidying/sport etc.
