Non-exhaustive list of Actually helpful ADHD cleaning tips from somone with ADHD who has gone many months without cleaning at all before and is figuring out what works for them

- VACUUM EARLY. The usual cleaning rule is to vacuum last but that won't work for us. Get everything off the floor then vacuum while you still have motivation and you aren't tired yet. It'll feel nicer to walk around, it will get a lot of dust and dirt (so you're in a cleaner space) and if you get burnt out/distracted half way through then at least that big thing is done

If you have energy once everything is put away then vacuum again to get the dirt you missed.

- Take meds. If you have meds take them. They help. Even if you think they don't, even if you hate some side effects take them so you can have a nice house

- Music or a podcast. You have to play something to keep yourself occupied. TV will make you want to watch but audio will let you do other things

- Set the bar low. Only say you'll clean one room. Or you'll just put away clothes. Or you'll just change your sheets. Give yourself victories so you want to keep going. And then if you don't do more then hey! You did what you set out to do!

- Throw out things. I know hording tendencies are hard and if you are a crafter you want to keep every little scrap of junk but it'll help if you throw things out.

If you feel you have to keep that piece of cardboard ir plastic then get a zip lock bag and put all your little craft bits in it. You can keep it but if you use nothing from it then you can throw out the whole bag after a week or a month.

- Put on a cute apron/ tie your hair up/ pretend you are a 50s housewife. You have to make it interesting for yourself so play dress up! It'll help it be fun and it's like a work uniform. It'll help to tell your brain that now you're in "cleaning mode". And a fun apron will help protect you from any dirt which is extra good. Hell wear a pair of high heels and tiny booty shorts just to wear something different.

- Along those lines of making it fun/different pretend you are on a cleaning show! Pretend you're making a YouTube video about how to clean/look at this amazing transformation! I love videos of people with my level of depression or adhd actually clean and feel better. It makes me feel less alone so sometimes I pretend I'm also making a video for everyone else who struggles.

- If your house smells bad light a candle or incense or have room spray. You need to be able to clean up the bad smells so you have to be in the room with the bad smells. Make them less bad so you can get rid of them

.

- Wear gloves even if you aren't doing dishes.

- It's okay to do one room at a time. It's okay to do only bits of the room. It's okay to put away half your clothes then clean the desk them put away the other half of the clothes. You don't have to do everything in order

- Bring a big garbage bag with you everywhere so you can easily put everything there instead of filling up the bin in each room.

- Also bring a laundry basket with you. Anything that need to go in another room put it in the basket so you can stay in the room you're cleaning and not get distracted, then take it with you when you leave

- If you have a blorbo pretend they're helping you. They're encouraging you from where they're leaning against a wall or they're gonna come over after so you want your house to be nice for them. It can help you feel like there's a point to it all.

- You aren't a failure. You have a brain that works differently and it needs help to work best.

You know... I don't think I've ever felt less pleased about it being Monday. I don't want to, and I think it's pretty unfair that I have to 😭

I promise I'm alive, my dudes.

Work's been kicking my ass lately and I'm trying to find something else, so it's been chaotic for me. But I lurk on here and plan on working on drafts, so thank you for your patience. <3

Feel free to bother Eddie whenever you like, too! The little shit always wants the attention.

Oh! If Soundwave likes creativity I think he’d get along really well with a writer/artist reader!

Oh definitely! Soundwave isn't an artist of any sort himself (least, the drawing/writing kind), but he can admire the effort and beauty of artistic pieces. He doesn't really reveal this side of him often though, as he does have an image to maintain as Megatron's right-hand man and lethal enforcer of the warlord's will.

Should he have a writer/artist S/O, he would be invested in their work and be quite the encouraging lover. He doesn't blindly praise S/O's work or place them on this unreachable, godly pedestal; his views are more realistic, knowing that true perfection is unreachable due to the definition wildly varying based on the individual, but still, should his lover ask for it, he'll throw in his two cents and actually be quite good at critiquing or throwing out possible ideas for S/O to utilize in their own projects. Even if they don't want any criticism or to bounce ideas back and forth, he'll still point out what he likes from each piece, and believe me, he always likes at least one thing from the work S/O puts out. <3

Could you imagine him with a S/O who does song-writing though? Seeing as his name is literally Soundwave, he knows a thing or two about crafting a well-tuned song (I imagine he's a little more in tune to what humans do and their craft when it comes to artistry, considering he literally spies on them on the daily). Be it pop, heavy metal, rock, electronic, he's got his S/O covered - he's the perfect mech to go to for help. :)

The feeling that something is no longer how it used to be, like Christmas, with joy, happiness that I remember as a child is just gone...and the heart yearns so desperately to hold on to that memory, that it hurts, every time you see that it's not coming back that the same people that gave you happiness now ruthlessly take it away and make you yearn more and more for that childhood memory every Christmas.

Yep, sometimes being an adult sucks

there will either be workers in this house today from 10:00-11:30 (the appointment the secretary confirmed to me on friday) or 08:30-15:30 (a letter that was suddenly there 6 days ago, asking every tenant to not use water during this time bc of repair work) and oh boy do i want this day to be over

#i'm pretty sure the appointment is for me bc it's my flat that has the water damage #but why would my landlord have different information to me?? the workers are coming to my flat??? #and. you know. there is a slight difference between 10:00am-11:30am and fucking 8:30am-3:30PM #we'll see. maybe there are 2 workers coming here today. one from 8:30-15:30 for whatever repair there is needed #and one worker for my flat from 10-11:30 #being an adult SUCKS #own #the sergeant speaks

I just want to go back to having the time and energy to play Minecraft for hours. I want to get lost in caves, grind for max armor, make fantastic buildings and farms, prank my friends and send them gifts.
