Especially in the morning, defaulting to cleaning up and decluttering messes is great when you can't think straight about what you're doing in your day. It gets your body moving, and when you can finally get ahold of your thoughts, you've already made space for what you actually want to be doing.

as in if u make it a requirement of urself you might obsess over having to accomplish it and that can paralyse u, as is my experience with adhd and executive dysfunction
if possible i suggest turning your brain off for a bit(use music to distract if u can) and moving kind of on instinct? wake up, make your bed, get your coffee, get your breakfast, make sure you clean the kitchen as you go and put your dishes away/wash them as soon as you finish eating, go back to your coffee and sit with it for a while to transition into the day. this is all kind of general but the point is to have casual, repetitive(everyday) tasks to slowly introduce you to a routine.
i find it important to clean/pick up anything after disrupting it because clutter and messes always distract me from my thoughts and continue to nag me if left alone-making the likelihood high that ill face a shutdown due to the task becoming another extra step to face later. it also makes it easy to think just about lunch when it comes around and theres no clutter left from breakfast
dont try to force anything and ask urself what you have the energy for, dont use up all ur fuel first thing in the morning and run out of steam later in the day- job hunting is a constant battle with rejection and managing your energy levels thru it all is important

I have AuDHD and spend 80% of my waking moments ruminating, processing, overthinking etc. When it gets especially intense I find myself stuck in Freezes that last hours, days, weeks. I've found that getting out a blank piece of paper (it cant be within a journal/notebook for some reason) and writing down everything on my mind - from to-do lists, things I want to buy, outfits I want to try, routines I'm trying to figure out, and/or interpersonal dilemmas - leaves me feeling so much lighter. I also get clarity around questions I'm mulling over.
I had an especially illuminating Brain Dumping session yesterday and I feel like someone just took a swiffer duster and cleaned every nook and cranny of my brain. Or a system reboot.
Also - I suggest trashing the brain dumps after a certain time and not try to turn it into a rolling to-do list. If you don't act on something within a few weeks, and you're still not thinking about it, it likely wasn't that important, and your brain will thank you for decluttering.

unfortunately where i live makes it extremely difficult to go anywhere without a car so iβm stuck at home most of the time and am prone to bedrotting and falling into slumps (for multiple days in a row π¬) but something that never fails to make me even the least bit productive is staying out of my room for as much of the day as possible. the second iβve gotten ready for the day i grab what i need then sit in a space with lots of natural light so that it feels easier to get up and do stuff cause iβm already out of my room, and to stay awake/avoid the afternoon naps that usually turn into full day naps π« this also helps with keeping my room clean cause when i walk into my room after not seeing it for a while i get a real sense just how messy and cluttered it is π

Here it is, folks! Volume I of what could very well be a continuous project. Thank you so much to everyone that submitted - I smiled the entire time I was putting this together. It's best listened to with headphones βΊοΈ
Liner Notes:
This collection of field recordings is a collaborative effort with users of PI.FYI, each of which recorded their own pieces. It features audio from all over the world and exhibits eclectic moments from London Underground commutes to cuckoo bird calls in Dhaka to the sounds of a century-old American diner.
Online communities like PI.FYI often represent a diverse set of people, places, and experiences, but together, the submissions form a living collage that highlights the commonalities of modern life - a unifying message for such a tumultuous time. The first track features all of the sounds played at once in an attempt to create an audio snapshot of an online community but in their offline lives.
The individual recordings are unedited except for minor gain and compression adjustments for consistency across the collection.
