Who's going to go first?

Okay.

You can go first.

This one is complete genius and it pretty much works every time for me.

And I think as well, it's to do with time blindness.

So time blindness in ADHD means that we often underestimate how long something's going to take.

So if I'm getting ready, I underestimate.

If I'm having fun doing a hobby, I underestimate.

But it also affects tasks that we hate.

Tasks that we hate, we overestimate how long they're going to take.

So to do a kitchen tidy, in my mind, it feels like an hour's job.

When in reality, it's five to 10 minutes.

So when you say to me, will you just tidy the kitchen for five minutes and then you're done?

And I'm like, what, even if it's not finished?

Yeah.

For some reason that removes the blockage of how overwhelming it is.

I start going and lo and behold, you can clean pretty much any room in five to 10 minutes.

That's what I've done.

As long as you're not full messy mode, doom room, which can take hours, a kind of general week's worth of mess.

If you've got 10 minutes, you'll get through it.
