A green living toom, with a cream two-seater sofa, a green sofa opposite it, and a leather-topped coffee table in the center of them. .

I have always struggled to stay on task without being distracted. Unless I am super interested in something, my mind always wanders (there’s a reason I am under investigation for neurodivergency) – and nowhere is this more true than for house chores.

Cleaning, tidying, decluttering, you name it, it is never smooth sailing for me. The tasks end up dragged out and feel impossible to complete, no matter how hard I try or which productivity methods I test out.
