ADHD Cleaning
Planner
Cleaning is not one big task — it is fifty tiny decisions, and ADHD brains burn out on the deciding, not the wiping. Pick a room, pick the energy you actually have today, and get a plan of small, done-able steps you can check off right here. Nothing to sign up for. Nothing to install.

Your reset plan
One pass — when it rings, you may stop with honor.
How the planner thinks
Every plan is built from three honest inputs. The room narrows the world down to one space — the whole house is a thought that can end the afternoon before it starts. The energy level is the input most planners skip: a low-energy day gets genuinely smaller steps, not the same list with softer fonts. The minutes you pick cap the plan so it fits the window you actually have, not the window you wish you had.
Each step is written the way ADHD cleaning guides should be written: a concrete verb, a visible finish line, and a time cost so you can pace yourself. "Clear the sink" is startable. "Clean the kitchen" is a research project. The difference is the whole tool.
Check it off here, or print it
On screen, every step is a big tap target — press it when it is done and watch the progress bar move. Progress is saved in your browser, so a knocked-over juice box or a phone call can interrupt you without costing the plan. The built-in timer counts down your chosen window; when it rings, anything you finished counts, and stopping is allowed.
Prefer paper? The print button produces a clean one-page checklist — the same plan, on the fridge, with a pen. For the full house in one page, the printable checklist covers every room.
For low-energy days, on purpose
The low-energy mode exists because executive dysfunction is not laziness and it does not respond to guilt. It gets the bare-minimum version of each room: the moves that keep a home functional — sink clear, trash out, one surface — sized at a few minutes each. A low-energy reset is a real reset. It is the version most planners do not bother to build, and it is the one that keeps the habit alive on the days that decide whether a habit survives.

Is this really free?
Yes — every room, every energy level, printing and the timer are free, no account required. The site runs display ads to cover hosting.
How is this different from a regular cleaning checklist?
A regular checklist assumes unlimited energy and one standard day. This planner asks how much energy and how many minutes you actually have, then sizes the plan to fit — including a genuine bare-minimum mode for the days that need it.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes, it is built phone-first — the check-off buttons are sized for thumbs. Your progress stays on the device you are using.
What if I finish early?
Then you are done, and stopping early is a success, not a missed opportunity. If momentum shows up, the planner will happily give you a bigger plan next time — but riding the wave is a bonus, never the quota.
Can I use this for my family or kids?
Absolutely — pick one room per person, hand out the plans, and let each person run their own timer. The printable checklist works well on a fridge with pen checkmarks.
Does the planner send my data anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser — your choices, checkmarks and history stay on your device.
