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.

    I started with the smallest task imaginable, and left it there until I finally felt the desire to ramp it up. Pick up one thing. That’s all you have to do that day. Even if 10 more things took its place immediately afterward, you still did something. Tomorrow pick up one thing again.

    It took a few weeks, or even months in some cases, but if you’re like me, you might eventually start saying “well, while I’m doing that, I might as well also pick up this other thing” and all of a sudden you’re picking up 2 things.

    Just let it ramp at whatever pace you want - the goal isn’t to get there quick - hell, the goal isn’t to get there at all, really. The goal is just to do something, and if you eventually decide to do something more on your own, that’s awesome.
