You can start by writing down 2 tasks that take a moderate amount of energy and you can increase the number every day or every week (or month). If ever feel more energized in the future, you can even put the time next to the tasks. (e.g: doing the dishes at 2 pm). That will give you the feeling that organization and you can plan your day ahead well !
I always start checklists in my phone and then forget about them and find them again months later when I decided to do a checklist again. Lol. I am at least consistent!
