How do I unlock the stuck cleaning everything in sight? Asking for a friend

[–] [email protected] 22 points 5 months ago (2 children)

See but the thing is nothing ever actually gets clean, so it’s a very pointless stuck.

You see something to clean up and start to do it, but on the way you find something else and gets distracted, and before you know it you have 16 things in hand and no idea what you intended to do with any of them. And very little has actually been accomplished.

If you keep it up, the joint does end up being cleaner, you gotta admit

Maybe not uniformly...

I’ve found 2 methods:

  1. Invite someone over. This one though isn’t so much actually cleaning things so much as shoving things into closets and anywhere else that’s out of sight in a panic.
  2. Have something else you’re supposed to be doing (an assignment that’s due, your taxes, or something else that’s urgent). That’ll be the time your brain decides you cannot look at these dirty kitchen cabinets any longer and they must be washed right. this. minute. Or so a friend tells me.
