The Tired Girl’s Guide to Cleaning Your House When You Have Zero Energy Or Motivation!

How to Clean When You Have No Motivation or Energy

Okay, so I have a secret that I’m going to share, but don’t hate me. Yes, I have undiagnosed ADHD but secretly, I love to clean. In the ADHD world, this take is probably more than a little controversial.

When I frequent ADHD groups and talk to other people who I’m fairly certain have ADHD, cleaning is not something that they enjoy.

But for me not only do I enjoy it but I find it necessary for my own mental health and sanity.

However, there are days when I look around my house, with the dishes piled high in the sink, the laundry needing to be folded (my least favorite part), and the floors littered with crumbs and I say “Nope, not today”. Because sometimes I’m just not feeling it.

On those days, I have no motivation or desire to plug in a vacuum or even prepare the floors so the robot vacuum can do it’s thing. Yes, it can be that bad. So what do you do on those days when you’re burnt out but you’re running out of clean dishes?

That’s what we are going to talk about today because I know we’ve all been there.
