Right now I am coming down from manic - outside my bedroom everything looks neat - inside (where I am currently spending 90% of my time) it looks like a cluttered laundry pile. Sigh. At least I can close the bedroom door if I have (rare) company.

LOL - phone app would be great!! There are reminders apps, note apps, list apps, but I never use them - just the calendar for appointments & things I have to remember.
Hi,
Since Oct I've been dealing with depression. It took me by storm and I had to fight back.
I use a iPhone reminder app (can't lose the list this way). I list things that need to be done. my goal is to at least complete one task per day. Sometimes I wash but don't fold all the clothes. I may fold one load per day. I dont have many dishes as its just me and my 6 yr old. I rinse off my dishes and stack them in the sink. I wash them once per week.
