This might be a “work smarter not harder” situation where you need to experiment with strategies to make unpleasant tasks more rewarding. I like pairing cleaning tasks with a good show, a riveting podcast series, or a phone call with a friend. I also kind of know what time of day works better for certain things. High sensory input things are easier mid-day when my brain wants more stimulation. Sometimes I need momentum from a good transition routine. Sometimes I need accountability buddies or really strong external cues like setting lights to a timer or my dog whining about wanting the next thing in his routine (food, outdoor/play, or bedtime snuggles). There’s lots of ideas out there and maybe a coach or therapist could help?

But definitely also talk to your doc about experimenting with different doses or types of medication or if you’re getting enough coverage through the day. That’s about where I’m at, it’s awesome that I have more choices based on what I want to do even if it’s low dopamine like doing well at work, sticking to my fave hobbies, or cooking nicer meals, vs the constant pull and resulting brain scatter of fast dopamine fixes like social media, chips, or that one unimportant thing that is suddenly bothering me and my brain wants to fix now! It’s already night and day but the doses aren’t lasting me through the workday even currently.

Don’t be hard on yourself, it’s a tough journey
