#cleaning is hard

[adhd-vibes]

ok i think one thing that is quite ⚠️forbidden⚠️ by my ADHD is simply....estimating how long a task takes. even tasks i've done many times before. if you also find time shrouded in mystery FEAR NOT. our investigative reporter (me) is on the case (cleaning with timer)

i may not have drawn or read today, but i DID clean my room! and sweep the floor! and scraped the dog hair out of my carpet! for the first time in i think a year and a half!! go me!!!

the three stages of cleaning:

deciding to be productive and to start cleaning

noticing how only five minutes have passed since you started

giving up after six minutes bc there's still so much left to clean

the sigh i let out watching this unfold lmao, grim and floyd are the two immature kids of the portfest steering commitee

i can see floyd jumping ship and turning into an eel JUST so that he doesn't have to clean the stage everyday djdjfkdhdjd

Cleaning. America’s favorite unpaid side hustle. Unless, of course....you get paid to do it...

......

Anywho...

Let's be real. If you don’t do it, the trash piles up until your house smells like a morgue on a hot day. Or so I’ve heard...I’ve never actually sniffed a corpse, but I imagine it’s somewhere between week-old leftovers and a landlord’s cologne.

You get the idea.

Nothing like scrubbing the sins out of a countertop at 2 a.m., hunched over like some broke mystic with a spray bottle for a rosary. Civilization collapses, the oceans rise, the stars burn out, but God forbid there’s a discarded shoe by the front door.😫

We’re out here exorcising crumbs like they’re demons, waging war against dust bunnies with the kind of devotion saints used to reserve for God. ‘Cleanliness is next to godliness,’ they said. Sure. And godliness is just another word for pretending you’ve got your shit together when you don’t. Bleach fumes for incense. Broken mop buckets for relics. And the vacuum? The choir of angels. Hallelujah, the floor is sterile.

My soul is still rotting, but at least the dust stopped unionizing.

We've already decided we're not having children, but

It would be awfully nice to have kids around to have them clean our house so we don't have to.

i'm telling you all right now. get bright sticky notes and a pen and write each individual task (or sub-task) on its own note and stick them somewhere you'll see clearly (a wall, a mirror, your front door). and then start ripping those bad boys off one by one as you accomplish them. my favorite to do list system ever. super visual, i can easily edit/add as i go, and i never misplace the list.
