Sugargremlin,
Your cleaning issue sounds a lot like my basement issue My psych ( I finally had too listen to her since I was paying her a fortune!) suggested making it a “project” and breaking it into steps. I chose a section of the storage Items I had taken out to sort and never put back and went for it. Believe it or not it worked. I first listed all the steps ( on paper) and estimated how long each would take. Then added 30% for error. The total turned out to be like 10 hours of something. Then I chose 2 hour increments and slotted those into my calendar on days where I could.. I think I managed to finish this in a space of under 10 days. AMazing since I had procrastinated on that particular part of the whole project for 6 months and it seemed so totally overwhelming that I couldn’t see starting let alone finishing it. I think with our ADD traits we tend to take an all or nothing mentality and it keeps us from even starting anything.
As an aside, did you mean you are taking Vyvanse? I just started and am on day 3.
