[Meme] The struggle is real, especially when The Focus hits on new creative work

uuuh ya :p

Just do one thing at a time. You're not cleaning a room, you're putting this one object where it belongs.

Many tiny tasks are less daunting than one large task, and our brains like completing many small tasks.

Well I move on to that chore, and and cycle continues until it's end of day, I'm sweaty, and I tell myself it was worth it, only to have to repeat it next week!

I honestly don't mind chores so much, because they keep me actively while I'm listening to a podcast!

Yeah that's how I see it too. Then there's a risk of the clean dishes living in the dishwasher for a bit but at least I have dishes, and it doesn't feel as daunting to deal with. It's like with the floors, pulling out a massive vacuum and dealing with the mop and whatnot is much more daunting than dealing with the dock every so often. Sure it doesn't outright replace proper vacuuming or dusting, you still need to do that, but it helps a lot.

Sure until there is a clean load in the washer and you can't put them back but you can clean the dirty ones until you do.

And I'm done cases the kitchen is to dirty to put the clean dishes back so you have to just hope for a dish fairy to do it so you can get unblocked.

Absolutely. I went from a Roborock S4 to a Roborock S4 Pro Ultra.

I was super satisfied with the S4 already, it’s a few years old by now, but was performing really well. The only problem being the frequent maintenance due to the dog. If I didn’t have pets it probably would’ve been better.

Roborock has solid vacuums, and sells replacement parts so you can repair them should something break. I ran my S4 almost daily for 4 years though and nothing ever did.

The Roborocks all map out the house with LiDAR, and cleans intelligently, even the cheapest ones, unlike some other brands (like Roomba) that just ping-pong about randomly.

The mopping feature is also shockingly effective.

The dock is the big star though. It handles cleaning and drying the mop, emptying the dustbin in the robot, and emptying/refilling the mop water.

My maintenance basically consists of emptying and rinsing out the dirty water, usually once or twice a week. Along that I refill the clean water. I have it mop a lot because I’m pedantic.

Every two weeks I also clean out the water filter, and flip the robot to remove what few hairs have stuck in the brushes.

Every two months I also empty the dust bag.

None of the maintenance tasks alone take more than a couple of minutes. It’s such a small price to pay for clean floors.

LPT, don't run your clothes through a full cycle to dewrinkle.

Throw in a wet rag and put it on low for ~30m. This will also soften hang dried clothes and remove pet hair.

Hm, i don't see it as a time commitment because i don't spend that much time away from home anyways and thus the only time spent on it is putting it in and taking it out along with setting an alarm so i remember to move it to the drier and then take it out, i also don't care about wrinkles in clothes because i'm not a victorian noble.

As for folding, again we're not victorian nobles so just roll shit up and stuff it in the drawer, it's fine.

Good washer-driers are had to find but being able to put a single cycle on and come back to fully washed and dried clothing is a huge improvement for ADHD folk over having washing and drying as a two separate processes. Definitely worth the investment.

I think I also just need therapy to learn habits with which I can make the best use out of these meds

For laundry, i wear basic stuff or second hand and buy 4x the amount I need so I can run a wash once every 2 or 3 weeks. As for dishes, learn to use a dish washer. have only 1 set of dishes that i wash every day so they stay in the washer. If this is too much then just get disposable stuff.
