Household Task Starter Cards
Pick one small, clearly bounded chore and begin it — without planning the whole room.
- 12 starter cards with a big FIRST MOVE
- Clear STOP line on every card
- Fillable blank card + print deck
Printable kits that turn “clean the kitchen”, “do the laundry” and “deal with the post” into one physical action you can do right now — and a clear point where you're allowed to stop.
The kitchen is one job in your head — and forty jobs in real life.So you look at it, and walk back out.
The washer beeped hours ago. Maybe yesterday.And the clean basket has become a wardrobe.
There's an envelope you've been walking past for weeks.Opening it feels bigger than whatever is inside.
You're not lazy. An NHS adult ADHD service lists laundry, bills and paperwork among everyday tasks that can take more energy with ADHD — and recommends small steps, set places, visual cues and asking for help. Read the NHS guidance. First Move turns those strategies into printable tools.
This is exactly how every card in the kits works. Pick one, do the first move for real, and tap it.
SMALLER
Do the first move for real, then tap it.
That's a finished card. You're allowed to stop here.
Three kits, three different sticking points. Pick the one that sounds like your week.
Every kit gives you a first physical move, a short sequence and a clear place to stop — for a different part of the house.
Pick one small, clearly bounded chore and begin it — without planning the whole room.
Follow one load from dirty to put away — always knowing where it is and what comes next.
Sort a small stack, one decision per paper, and keep every action you find written down and visible.
Kitchen, laundry and paperwork — plus a bonus Energy Menu that matches each card to the energy you actually have today.
No setup day. No system to maintain. You can be doing your first card a couple of minutes after you download.
Every kit starts with a “choose one” page. Pick the job that matches what's in front of you.
One physical action, printed big. Do only that. Momentum usually follows — and if it doesn't, use the SMALLER line.
Each card ends at something you can see. Stopping there is the plan, not a failure. Carrying on is a new choice.

These aren't planners. There's no setup, no weekly plan and no streak to break. You open to page 2, pick one job and do its first move. If you skip a week, nothing breaks — each kit has a 'resume from what's true now' page.
