Great tips!
I have two suggestions for people who make it through the phases of actually getting the dishes and clothes washed and put away but are afraid of getting back to the mess.
When I am not doing well (depression, not a concussion) I find the easiest thing is to live out of the dishwasher and clothes dryer. I leave my dishwasher open, and when I have a dirty dish, it goes right into the dishwasher. When it’s full, I run it then leave it open again and just use dishes out of there. I pretend the cupboards do not exist for as long as necessary and I just use and wash the same 4 plates and 5 cups and 3 bowls and so forth over and over again.
Same thing with my laundry - I use the washing machine as my laundry hamper and when it’s full, I run it, put the stuff in the dryer, and then get dressed straight out of the dryer every day. My closet does not exist to me for however long it takes until I am finally ready to put things on hangers and in drawers again.
It’s not a perfect system - more than a few times I have to rewash a load that I can’t bring myself to put in the dryer in time, and yes, I am usually very wrinkled - but the alternative is mounds of dirty dishes and clothes that feel completely overwhelming.
Thanks so much for your channel, you are a joy to listen to! 😊

I LOVE these ideas! It helped me when I stopped feeling the pressure to only run the dishwasher when it's full. This idea of running it with your 4 plates and 3 bowls is so great!
