Structured chaos is key
Like you build the jenga tower so that it falls down in the direction of doing the dishes.
You look at the dishes, comprehend how you would do them if you did, build a plan, then put it in the back of your mind and go about your day.
This describes my pea brain to the letter.
Like once I figure out how to do a thing, I no longer have anything interest in doing the thing.
Structure like a skeleton. Gives you the rough shape, but you have some freedom to arrange the squishy bits hanging off it.
Or you start out with folding clothes, then start putting them away, get distracted by the dishes or cleaning up the bathroom, and start on that other chore. The key is to eventually get back to the original (easier said than done), but even if you didn’t really get it done quickly, you often put yourself in the mindset of cleaning, which helps on its own.
Oof, thinking about all the chores I could do right now is exhausting. I think I’m going to lie down and read tvtropes for the next 6 hours.
I told my partner we had to stop scheduling our entire vacation bcz it was stressing me out.
Now we schedule one or two things in certain days and then do whatever we want, and I deal much better with that.
Are you me? My wife is planning things, then not telling me about it and it still feels spontaneous to me. Win win situation.
Why do you have to personally attack me like that?
Just comes down to whether you want the prison to be external or internal
When you really think about it, chaos is the natural order tendency of the universe, entropy and all that. Ergo, order is against nature.
