Weird Things I Do to Keep a Cleanish House

You're not bad at cleaning. You just don't have the systems.  When I was a kid, my room was so messy my mother hung a dolphin shower curtain across my shelves to hide it. Like, a full shower curtain. With blue dolphins on it. On brand for me at the time. And it worked great until the mess behind it got so big the curtain couldn't hold it anymore. I always thought I was incompetent. Turns out I just didn't have the systems. Here's how I tricked my ADHD brain into keeping a cleanish house.
