#2 and 5 over here, mostly due to the sheer hugeness of housekeeping. I’m listening to an audiobook on the topic which emphasizes taking decisions out of the picture. For instance, laundry on Monday, floors on Tuesday, etc. Every day jobs of 5 minute cleanup, doing and finishing dishes, etc. They’re there and assigned so then I won’t have a choice. Of course there’s wiggle room for life stuff, but then the routine is still there when things calm down. Taking the decision overwhelm and fatigue out of the picture will be helpful. Still working on assigning jobs, following through with consequences, etc. because I just can’t do it all, too.

It’s a lot! But minimising the decision making process or even eliminating it when possible is a huge help!
