For example, when I tidy up the house, my task isn’t to tidy up the house. My task is to take this one object and put it where it belongs. Then I start on another task until I’m out of time or tasks.
The best thing I ever learned to help with cleaning is that no matter the size of the mess, rooms only have 5 things in them:
Trash
Laundry
Dishes
Things with a place
Things without a place
If you clean one category at a time it’s a lot less overwhelming. Shout out to the book How to Keep House While Drowning for more tips like that, it’s written specifically for neurodivergent people.
One tip is to break the task into smaller tasks.

Right, but then I get overwhelmed with this huge list of tasks!
You don’t have a huge list of tasks. You have a single task, then you find another single task.
