This is not an ADHD hack. This is how literally everyone cleans a room.

We all need strategies for tasks, whether daily or occasional, whether simple or complex. And it takes practice to learn to execute those strategies efficiently.

For everyone. It doesn't come "naturally" or "for free" to anyone.

10000% this.

This community suffers from the "attributing normal life experiences to Our Special Quirk" you see in many communities.
