Because it takes slightly less mental energy to sit and stress than to do the thing. (lemmy.world)

Body doubling.

I can clean the whole kitchen while also preparing dinner and dessert if my SO is in the kitchen, even if they're not helping. But alone? Forget it. I'll be lucky to remember the water kettle was on.

I'm like this for most things except for cleaning the kitchen. It's essential to know she's counting on me, but if she's actually there I can't do anything. It could have something to do with the layout of our kitchen (she has to stand behind me if I'm washing dishes).

If she was working on something at the table I could probably ignore her and focus on cleaning, but if she's trying to clean too, I can't.
