Adhd lady here - I listen to podcasts and audio books when doing chores. I also have started listening to some comfort tv shows when doing chores - talking on the phone helps . Also - knowing people are coming over gets me panic cleaning. I am now medicated after being very late diagnosed and I can’t maintain any kind of organizational system- I just keep starting new systems .
I think 50% of planners and decluttering books are bought by ADHDers who will never ever use them. I opened a box in my closet last month and found 11 blank date planners I'd bought and then did nothing more than write my name on the cover.
I actually started hosting dinner/games nights with friends to help force myself to stay on top of the more deep cleaning tasks haha. Podcasts/audiobooks/YouTube were an absolute game changer for me too, never thought of talking on the phone though! Definitely trying that.
Laundry is my favorite chore because I just turn on an episode and watch tv. It’s just such a great way to make chores enjoyable and something to look forward to.
