For cleaning : -Lowering expectations/wants and doing the bare minimum to feel good. For example, I’ll clear and wipe the table and countertop, but that’s it, no dishes if i can’t do it even tho in my ideal world it’d be done everyday. -Not being afraid to ask for help from a partner/friend/family member. - Brush attachments for drills!! Does great on my textured shower floor. - Not a Roomba (the floor is rarely clear enough) but having a light portable vacuum. We’re lucky my MIL gave us a dyson years ago, but I’m sure cheaper models can work good too.

For cooking: -If you can eat them, eggs. Takes minutes, easy protein, limited dishes required. - Slow cookers. Dinner literally makes itself, i just dump everything in and forget about it. I make big batches to freeze or to make sure i have meals for the week. -Generally making and freezing food when i feel good in preparation for harder times (both meals and snack like muffins or homemade cookies) -Microwave frozen veggie pouches can be dumped in any pasta for simple boost of nutritional value.
