I just wanted to brag about this app with colors and objectives! I can get distracted, and still remember to keep cleaning. When I see a room is in red, that means back to cleaning xD

I’m not in anyway affiliated with the app and just wanted to give them some free add time. The app is called Sweepy and it cost me €17 a year. For the help I’m getting from it, it’s worth it.

I hope this helps my ADHD homies out. If anyone has other apps they use through the day, please share!

        I think my problem may have been that I scheduled chores based on how frequently I thought they “ought to be” done rather than how often my ADHD partner and ADHD self were realistically capable of. It led to a spiral of always being behind which led to us not checking the app or checking stuff off when we did it.

        The “time to do chores” daily reminder was completely unhelpful because I would always either ignore it because I wasn’t feeling up to cleaning or ignore it because I was already cleaning.

        We’ll probably give the app another go one of these days with a more relaxed schedule, hope you have better luck with it.

          🫣 that sounds exactly how I’d be in that situation. Hopefully my wife and kids can at least help to keep me on track. I think using the award system is a good way to keep my kids active with it. Trust me, when they want something, they will remind me every second of every minute, of every day. Those annoying buggers can finally use their powers for good! 😅
