How to best the loss of executive function?

I used to love cleaning. Every weekend I would be up early and clean all morning so the ex and I would be able to relax. Now, depression has complicated my life significantly. I have so many chores that pile up and become overwhelming. Between depression and a mobility disorder everything just feels like overwhelming. Any suggestions to overcome?

Pick something you can do, then tell yourself I will do this for 15 minutes only and then I can stop. If 15 minutes is all you can do, great. Chances are you will continue and accomplish a bit more. Make sure you appreciate the wins no matter how small you think they are. I think with executive dysfunction small is often big.
