Cleaning

ADHD_Me
over 4 years ago

Hi I'm having trouble keeping my house clean and tidy.. I am a mother of two with ADHD, Social anxiety, Dyslexia and suspected ASD ( getting assessed the end of the month) I know ADHD and ASD overlap but I'm have huge difficulties and I don't know what to do? My brain wont let me. I was wondering if there is anyone else with this issue and/or if anyone can suggest anything? Thanks

    If you can make a list of all the household chores like:

    • Putting away belongings
    • Doing the laundry
    • Folding and putting away clean clothes
    • Vacuuming, sweeping, dusting
    • Setting the table
    • Clearing the table
    • Washing and putting away the dishes
    • Feeding, walking family pets; cleaning birdcages and litter, boxes whatever it is
    • Mopping floors
    • Scrubbing the sink, toilet, bathtub, shower stall
    • Preparing lunches for school
    •  cooking dinner 
    • Doing yardwork.   
    Then make a time table for them to be done, and a Callander for the day. 
    For example sunday 
    • Doing the laundry
    • Folding and putting away clean clothes
    • Vacuuming, sweeping, dusting
    Monday
    • Washing and putting away the dishes
    • Mopping floors
    • Scrubbing the sink, toilet, bathtub, shower stall
    • Preparing lunches for school
    Splitting things up and allocating time for them help by creating a routine.

    jesus christ your list makes it look like a massive time consuming thing lol

    i clean passively, when waiting for microwave i spray and scrub the counters, my dishes i only wash like once every 3 days or so because im single so dont really rack up lots of dishes to justify washing them every day.

    i hoover up only when i see stuff on the floor like crumbs and decide to hoover it all up.

    dusting... dont do but i could do with dusting my glass tv stand.

    washing... my washing machines broke so i send that to my parents lol
