Daily, weekly, monthly chores

I have daily chores, weekly chores, and monthly chores that I like to get done. Many friends and family don't understand it. To me it's rewarding. Anyone else?

Yes! I love the feeling of a clean house. It’s helped change my perspective from having to clean to enjoying the feeling!

Do you have it written down to share? Very overwhelmed trying to keep up! Lol

@Kelsey Sure. Daily: I empty trash if it's full, pick up clutter, dust with a duster, vacuum & mop. I make sure the dishes are done as I go so that it isn't overwhelming. Once there is a load of laundry, I do it. It's less overwhelming that way. Usually I am able to do a small load every day. It takes maybe 5 to 10 minutes to fold & put away. I vacuum the baseboards every other day. This cleaning takes about 30 minutes a day since I've gotten the routine down. Weekly: I do a little extra cleaning in at least one room. This makes the extra cleaning easier on me instead of try to do the entire house. I like to group the bedrooms together & the bathrooms together. I use alcohol to wipe glass items & a wet rag to wipe down furniture. I clean the vents and the windows. Maybe 10-30 minutes. Monthly: I try to do at least two monthly chores each day. It makes it easier to keep up on. Walls, curtains, bedding, organizing, fridge, freezer & under furniture. Maybe 10-20 minutes.

I've actually been wanting to get a list made up so I can get and keep it all done easier

I use a lovely app called TickTick for check list, things to do, but for housework, I also use Tody, it syncs, so my boyfriend has it too, we paid the measly $5 to share progress, it wasn't fair all housework was on me. The trick is to set up all chores completed to "today" and push other chores not completed forward one day. I give myself a minimum time to do chores: 15 mins but no matter what, i stop at 1 hr. Sometimes dishes/putting away laundry will exceed my hour, which is fine! With ADHD, seeing a long list is overwhelming, but seeing a timer counting down is motivating!

@Dazey (Angela) Thank you for the recommendations. I've installed both apps. 😊

@Courtney Great example. Thanks for sharing!!
