Bathroom Reset for ADHD brains
The bathroom is the smallest room with the biggest shame coefficient — and the fastest full transformation. Ten minutes on the right order of operations makes it look like you tried much harder than you did.

The spray-first strategy
Spray the toilet bowl the moment you walk in, then go do the sink. The cleaner works unsupervised while your hands are busy — by the time you come back with the brush, the hardest 30 seconds of the job have already half-happened. It is the only chore in the house where waiting is actual work.
The second trick is the fresh-towel illusion: a new hand towel and a straightened bath mat read as "deep cleaned" to every visitor and to your own morning brain, at a cost of about forty seconds. Never underestimate a reset that is 20% chemistry and 80% stagecraft.
What the timer changes here
The bathroom is the room where the timer earns its keep. Without one, "quick wipe" reliably becomes a 40-minute deep clean you did not have in you — and the next bathroom attempt inherits the dread. With one, a 10-minute window produces the spray-first pass and a hard stop, which is exactly what keeps tomorrow's version willing.
The homepage planner generates this room at any energy level: low mode gets the toilet swish and the sink; high mode adds the shower scrub and the floor. Same timer rules either way — when it rings, the bathroom is done, even mid-shelf.
How often does a bathroom actually need the full version?
For most households: once a week for the full pass, and the 5-minute version (spray, sink, towel) as often as pride requires. The low mode on the homepage generates exactly that 5-minute version.
Where do all the bottles go?
One basket under the sink or on the counter. Bottles do not need systems; they need a single container they all live in. Organization later, containment now.
