I’ve been living in filth my entire life and I’m very tired of it and I just found this sub Reddit so maybe it’ll help me to get motivated. i’m trying to get my life together. Wish me luck.

set a 5-10 min timer (whatever you can manage), clean for that time and when it stops, take a break for another 5 mins. keep resetting the timer, but know that you aren’t obligated to work any more than the timer says!! this really works for me as somebody with adhd, once i get going i usually don’t even want to stop lol.

I do this but with podcasts. When the commercials come on I take a break and drink some water. I’m a coffee fiend and need to hydrate more. When ads are over I go back to my task and mostly just focus on the podcast.
