Not Doing What I Need to Do with ADD

So, there are days when I'm in my home for hours and do absolutely nothing that needs to be done! My house is always in disarray. And when I say, "always" I mean exactly that. Growing up the last thing I wanted to do was clean my room, or any room for that matter! Do you know when the dishes were done at my home when I was in high school? The moment I heard the garage door start to do open! That meant mom was home...and crap, the dishes weren't done!

My bed, if it was ever found, was under a pile of clothing. Some things never change. At least now I'm not sleeping ON my clothing. They just occupy the entire right side of my bed. I get my half, the laundy gets the other. Maybe I should say it gets 3/4.

The dishes, they typically sit until I'm out of spoons for breakfast. I can't stand dishes and laundry. I'm not much of a vacuumer either. Hmm, household chores just aren't my thing.

Now, put me in a barn to clean it out, I'll do it for hours. Brush the horses, clean out their hooves, any other barn chores...sign me up!! Taking care of anything outside, I'm all for it. I could weed for hours also. Tending to my plants, so relaxing and enjoyable. Encouraging my veggies to grow, I get such peace.

Come into the house, BIG GROAN!! Piles upon piles everywhere. How do people keep it together? I dread coming into the house. When I have massive amounts of laundry on my bed, all I want to do is be outside. Bottom line, I'm not motivated whatsoever to do a bloomin' thing inside the house.

I'm motivated when I get an urge to clean and what it would be like to keep it up. But then I walk into the room that I think I'll tackle and I totally deflate. Cleaning just isn't my "thing". I know, how can cleaning not be someone's "thing". We should all be neat and tidy, dontcha think?

I need a life coach. Someone who can come live with me for a month to help me get into a routine. I've heard it takes a month to start a routine and keep it. A coach to wake up with me and follow me around all day saying, "Do this, do that." "No, don't sit down and read for 3 hours." "Hey, get out of that computer chair." At my age, you think I'd have it figured out. Not even close. I have no fantastical ideas that I'll ever have a tidy home. Anyone have some advice on how not to keep piles everywhere? How about how a slob can no longer be a slob? I could use all the help I can get!
