  • Yep, I get it. I have one of two states:

    A) Got the routine nailed, house is super clean and tidy and I'm free to let hyper focus earn me a living or out to play with the special interests, and making me happy

    B) Totally thrown off balance by other people's chaos and dirt, turning in circles with housework, feeling completely overwhelmed by the size of the task and not knowing where to start, with concentration disturbed vis a vis all other demands on my time, unable to engage with my hobbies even...end up going back to bed and closing my eyes so as not to see the disorder bombarding my senses.
