It takes forever to complete simple tasks

It's a struggle to get things done. Even with simple things like cleaning. It takes hours to psych myself up into doing it and somehow I'll end up procrastinating or not doing it all. For example, washing my clothes—I'll put the first load but it takes me hours until I move it to the dryer. I suck at cleaning. I can barely muster the energy to clean anything other then the kitchen. My room is a mess. I don't feel sleepy but it's like all the energy has been zapped out of me. I've noticed that the intrusive thoughts I've had can make me feel physically exhausted. It's takes so much effort to do simple things. I cooked dinner last night and took out the trash but man it was so hard to get moving. I know I've been lying around too much. I'm on the computer a lot of the time so I'm trying to take baby steps to do things when I don't feel like it but I feel so drained. I know it probably seems like to other people I don't care about anything and that I'm lazy but I feel so tired.

I feel the same way when I'm in a low period.

What helps me is to list like 5 things I need to do. Little things, if need be. So instead of "clean room" it becomes "put clothes away". Sometimes I'll put music on and just power through it. Other times I'll promise myself some Netflix or a treat afterward.

Thanks I'll think I try this. I struggle with being consistent daily. And most of the I wonder why it's so hard to commit to doing simple things. I procrastinate way too much with almost everything even going to sleep.
