> Start with the room that needs the least cleaning. Set an egg timer (I use my microwave timer on the second level) for like 10-15 minutes and try to beat the clock. If you have minutes left when you're finished, add those to the next room. (But don't forget to increase the minutes as your workload does or you'll get discouraged and want to quit!) I know it sounds weird, but it works-most of the time.
>What youre describing are the ways people with ADD or people in general can do to get organized. People with ADD need structure, and pressure helps too, and with this egg timer thing thats exactly what you are giving yourself. Hey whatever works. Myself I make lists and prioritize and I structure when I do those things around my energy levels and which thing can be done during that cycle. The meds help too of course! :)
