How do I shake off this CBA feeling?

There are lots of sorting, decluttering, tidying jobs I could be doing but cause the DC are off school I almost feel there is no point cause anything I tidy they will just come along and trash before the day is out.

There are bits of toys mixed up or toys with parts missing. I have lots of paperwork but feel I CBA to deal with it. I have washing that needs to be hanged on the line in the yard but cause I have anxiety issues I feel worried about leaving the 3 year old in the house while I do it (Have no garden).
The DC sometimes hurt each other (jealousy or sibling rivalry).

If we go out, it will all still be here when we get back.

Yeah, but if you go out it won't get any messier! I am giving up on tidying sitting room at the mo, as they just trash it too. Rather have got them involved in mucking out their room (it now looks even worse, but bit deep down tidier). Also I try to do areas which they are less likely to mess up.

In terms of motivating, I find doing a 20min burst, but just 20min, can be quite motivating, as it is long enough to make a small dent, but not too long that I miss mumsnet gossip that I get bored that the children can seriously damage each other, esp if I conviscate the scissors from 2 yr old.

For bits of toys, I have a box which I fill up, then every few months we sort through it. Having said all that my house is a tip, so maybe not the best person to listen to! Ok 20 min burst before I make yet more food for the gannets! Good luck.

I am a fan of the 20 minute blitz too. 20 mins at a time in a room can make a big dent in the mess/tackle a cleaning job or two, then I stop and play with the kids etc for a bit. When they are sufficiently engaged in something else they want to be doing, then I do another 20 mins.

On a day when they want attention I've been known to follow them wherever they are and stay in their vicinity and do my 20 mins there. E.g. I tackled the mess under the stairs yesterday as they were playing in the living room next door where we could hear each other. Or I do the bathroom or my room if they are playing in their rooms.
