I have suspected ADHD, and a cordless vacuum actually helps me clean – as a professional vacuum tester, here’s why I won’t go corded again

Bright kitchen and dining area with large plants in vases, kitchen island, dining table with cushioned chairs, skylights, and open doors leading to small, sunny, outdoor area.

People with ADHD can have impaired executive function, and to complete any task, especially the conventionally unenjoyable ones like cleaning, there have to be as few obstacles in the way as possible.
