Lists are always good, but for routine household chores I don't really need a list because the things are pretty much the same. For me, it's Routine, routine, routine... Always the same, I don't even think about it. Same order, same days... I've got ADD, so losing track of time is common, HH chores are BORING, two Really bad things for an ADDer.
I know it is easy for me to say now, because it took me years to figure it out. When a project is just over-whelmingly big, I used to just freeze, have no idea what to do first... Then I would just start the kitchen sink. I HATE stuff piled in the sink, then I'd have to empty the dishwasher because of the stuff in the sink, then the counters, and so on. Once the ball gets rolling, then it gets easier...
I hope it kind of makes sense
