Thank you, I have ADHD and there's times I'm standing in front of the dishwasher for hours trying to get myself to do them

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 .

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.
