Depicted in the image is Sisyphus pushing his legendary boulder up a hill, written in the boulder are the words, "The fucking dishes and the fucking laundry."

End image description.

Straight up though I recently learned a really weird way of editing pictures for creative distortion (it involves Audacity (the sound editor)) and I straight up forgot to do both before work.

Yesterday and today.

Good news is I learned a lot on how editing those pictures works. Bad news is tonight's dinner was cereal eaten out of a mug with a fork.

The biggest thing that helped me: do the chore when you see it. Stop everything and do it now. Not "later" cuz later never comes. Now, because now is all you have

But then the task you stop becomes something that you forget about

Ok, so what do you do when you notice chores while in the middle of other chores?

[–] roro@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well I move on to that chore, and and cycle continues until it's end of day, I'm sweaty, and I tell myself it was worth it, only to have to repeat it next week!

Yeah, that is the definition of not managing ADHD.

Yep. Like folding the laundry as soon as you take them out of the dryer is a habit that has really helped with the problem of having wrinkled laundry laying about in the hamper all week.

You eventually get into the habit of doing "micro chores" as you're just moving about the house
