This is not a sponsored post I am just an old man getting excited over boring things.

Hey disabled people and neurodivergents I have an app reccomendation for you, its called sweepy.

It is a chore tracker with some features that are actually fucking HELPFUL, not just like a list of shit to do.

So what you do is you add rooms, and in those rooms you list all the things that you have to do. You set how often they need doing and how much effort they take to do. So now you never have to wonder if you need to hoover yet, it will tell you! It also has options for one time tasks and seasonal tasks. Also there are a lot of task presets to make it all easier.

And that alone is all great but if you pay for premium (a very reasonable 12 quid a year), you get more features like adding other people in your house so that you all know whats going on, and my favourite feature, the daily schedule. What you do is you set how many effort points you want to use in a day, and sweepy will go through the things that need doing and assign you tasks to match the effort points. You can even set tasks to only be assigned to specific people. Also like. Streaks and leader boards and shit if that stuff helps motivate you.

Specific benefits ive noticed with this app and living with other people:

Everything is so efficient because we know exactly what each other is doing

Reduces negative feelings towards others re housework cus its hard for the brain gremlin to be like "they're not doing anything!" Cus like. Yes they are. They got points for it. Look at the leader board u dumb fucking brain gremlin.

Ok another sweepy update let me talk about how this is the best ADHD hack of all time.

So u know how household chores are super hard with ADHD cus its not just oh do this, its an endless cycle. There is no "done". You do not get your dopamine. It goes on and on and on and on and

Well here's the thing. Because in sweepy you have to break down "chores" into specifics, and because it times the chores, which draws a clear line between "done" and "needs doing", it transforms the endless cycle of housework into distinct tasks with an end point.

Which means INFINITE DOPAMINE MACHINE.

It *also* means that when sweepy tells me to go do one thing in the bathroom, I will end up doing like 3 things because DOMPAMINE. TICK THE BOXES. POINTS. I AM REWARDED. Even if those things don't need doing yet. Yes I am wiping down clean enough sinks just for points I am a FUNCTIONING ADULT.

I recently read an article about a therapy group for depressed people who had all attempted suicide at some point. The breakthrough question for them was, “If your goal was to be just as miserable as possible, what would you do?” Most of them listed things like not getting enough sleep, or isolating themselves from everyone… the list goes on, but the point is, they listed things they already do. But now they saw those “coping mechanisms” for what they really were: things that were actively making their condition worse.

I read that article at 2:00 AM, asked myself, am I TRYING to be miserable tomorrow? And it was easier than usual to put my phone down and fall asleep. Even my intrusive “lying down” thoughts about meaninglessness and existential dread were easier to suppress when I framed them as things I’d think about to purposefully make myself feel as awful as possible.

Fuck that is helpful

[roach-works]

if you feel bad for no reason, that’s scary and frustrating. if you MAKE yourself feel bad, it’s okay, because you’re in control. except if you’re in control, maybe you should try to make yourself feel good, even if that’s scarier because it might not work.

scary and good is, actually, better for you long term than predictably bad.

As an eye doctor, this shouldn't be controversial. It's a problem. 5 years ago, nighttime headlight issues were reserved for people with cataracts or LASIK scars. Today, everyone has problems seeing the road through the oncoming headlights. People are getting anti-glare and blueblocking coatings not bc they are sitting on a computer 8+ hours a day but bc the blue tinted halogens are making them feel unsafe to drive. We are selling insane amounts of yellow tinted nighttime driving glasses even though they're really only for people with cataracts bc ppl are desperate for anything that may help them deal with the headlights. I've had multiple patients tell me they just don't drive at night anymore.

This is an actual safety issue and it needs to be addressed

sometimes people’s lights are so god damn bright I assume they’re driving around with their high-beams on like fucking assholes, and then i flick my lights to let them know, and it turns out their high-beams aren’t on yet, and then I’m killed instantly
