Housework routine, v lazy

79 replies

Qwerty21 · 08/06/2024 10:02

Does anyone have any good tips or recommendations of apps/websites for keeping on top of the housework? I'm pretty lazy and I tend to think oh well I'll do it tomorrow then I don't do it tomorrow. I think some sort of routine will help. But I don't have the time or effort to do lots every day.

fwiw I don't live in a tip! But it certainly could be tidier

As someone with ADHD, "crack on and do it" is really not as easy as you're making it sound 😂 if I don't have a list and a strict routine I'll say "I'm going to clean the house today" and by the end of the day I've crocheted a scarf, found and read all my highschool workbooks, started reorganising a drawer that didn't really need reorganising then gone out half way through to buy a candle we don't need and come back with a cabbage, a potted plant and some dog biscuits.

I truly wish it was as easy as crack on and do it!

Ha! Same
I’ve spent whole days unnecessarily reorganising my book shelf so that the books are in order of publication.

Invite someone round 🤣🤣

Nothing like the thought of seeing the mess thru someone else's eyes to inspire you to tidy!

I am the world's biggest procrastinator and this is my trick lol.

I know that I just have to get up crack on and do it but when I’m feeling totally unmotivated, I do find reading the cleaning threads on here nicely motivating 😁. I’ll read a bit and that’s enough to get me up doing something productive .
