Autism Resource I really want someone to make: How long do chores take

Like just a list of every common household chore or errand you have to do in life with how long it should probably take you. Dishes take 15 minutes. Laundry takes 90s minutes. That kinda thing.

Recently I realized if I ask my roommate "how long does dishes take" it breaks my inertia and then I can get it done. So if I just had a list I could look at to externally remind me of how long it'll take that would help me a lot

This would also double as an ADHD Resource and be so helpful

Maybe I'll start timing myself. Or at least try. Maybe I'll try to remember to time myself when I do chores😔

Dishes take me a hell of a lot longer (in terms of time actually spent focused on the thing) than laundry but most of this is probably because of having such a backlog of dishes all the time in the first place.

If I spent a bit of time every day doing dishes instead of doing massive loads once or twice a week? Then yeah probably it'd only need to be 15 minutes, if that

I do laundry maybe once a month or less because I have to walk a few blocks to a laundromat. Even when I have a pretty huge dishes backlog though it never takes me more than 30 minutes. But my kitchen is tiny so maybe Maximum Backlog is less.

It's important to use it right; it's easy for it to worsen the impression that It's All So Much, simply because it goes pretty deep into everything. But once I found the groove where I could safely disregard things that were way too much work, I started to find it really relieving. YMMV obvs.

Tiimo might be an app to check out. it's one of those time blocking apps but more visual than the rest and made for neurodivergent people specifically. it comes with pre-made tasks that you can just plug into timeslots, and as such might be a good way to get an estimate of what each task takes
