I am in Australia, and I had an NDIS cleaner. she used to come once a week and my house was mostly pretty clean. I lost her, and now I have to apparently do the cleaning myself. I really am incapable of doing it. They told me that I am physically capable of doing it, so i have to do it. I can’t do it. My house is a fucking mess. stupid government. Anyone have any suggestions? Like to get over the executive dysfunction crap? I tried habitica, and it worked for a short while, but now I’m back to chronic ED.

thanks.

    Is your house dirty or just cluttered?

    The flat I share with my lass is pretty messy but it’s not dirty.

    The dishes are done once a day or so, laundry when the basket is full. The main problem is the floordrobe

    It’s laundry day today in fact, but I’m still in bed doomscrolling…

    We’ve got two rabbits which are pretty much free range so I clean them up regularly - they mainly just spread hay everywhere.

    I tend to break down bigger tasks for each day of the week. Laundry is today, rabbit hutches tomorrow. I’ll probably do the bathroom on Thursday, kitchen Friday.

    Might not work for everyone but it’s definitely less overwhelming

      honestly, it’s dirty and messy. I hear you about the rabbits. I have two cats, and I always make sure they’re looked after. I clean their trays every day, feed them, try to play with them as much as i can etc. but the rest? doesn’t happen :/

      I’m pretty good at laundry though, so I got that going for me!

          well, I clean up poopies as soon as the cats do them, and wee wees are at the end of the day, sometimes in the morning too. so it’s not too pongy.
