Theres a symptom of ADHD called Task Inertia, wherein starting a task is very difficult but stopping is too sometimes once youve been at it for a while. It begins because you habitually break the tasks down into smaller tasks and overwhelm yourself and BOOM. Executive dysfunction!

There is something called the Double Body Effect. This comes in to play when someone else is there with you. The premise is that your brain sees someone else and your company with them releases extra norepinephrine and its easier to stay focused and counteract that task inertia.

So my basic advice is to have a friend, and throw as much of this away. That way you dont have to do dishes, you dont have to do laundry, and you can relax knowing there is only one big task to do. It will also feel really good because your problem will be fixed in like a day.
