Does anyone have a hyper focus on cleaning. Almost ritualistic where I have a mental task list of things I need to do in order and can’t really move on to the next thing without starting my task list again. Ever since I’ve had more responsibility, promotion, bigger house, more kids, it’s gotten worse. Essentially I do the same cleaning activities everyday (vacuum, dust, etc) even if I did it the day before and it doesn’t need to be done. Psychologist appointment is scheduled for July.

Yes it’s called clutter anxiety. You probably can’t function well in a disorganized or unclean place.

I do this as well and actually had the same reflection earlier today, as we just moved and are expecting our second child in June. For me, it appears to be a “control” thing and is similar (in my opinion) to staying up late as a way to exert control over my schedule. Probably not helpful, but wanted to let you know you are not alone in this ritualistic behavior

Ahh I posted that too before seeing this. A way to control environment. Makes me reflect on my own controlling tendencies. Staying with relatives recently I can’t help but want to help them declutter/ sell stuff.

I do sometimes. Need to clear my desk before work and sometimes I hyperfocus on cleaning and use it to procrastinate.

What a busy life you have too - What you describe sounds like you get some dopamine from being able to control something in your environment. God knows kids and work are pretty chaotic and largely uncontrollable.

Good idea with the psychiatrist to differentiate ocd or anxiety.

The past few days I’ve cleaning the garden. I get obsessed and can lose hours weeding, pruning, and raking. Then I ask myself why not just hire a guy with proper tools to get it done in an hour.

How does everyone bill for family law matters? Do you always bill hourly or is there some flat fee, monthly or quarterly fee structure that could work, even in contested matters? I have cases that the clients end up spending $20-$40,000 on a contested divorce and this is really out of their budget. I feel that if my firm could charge a flat fee of $10-$15,000, it would still be beneficial from a client predictability and volume standpoint and would generate more referrals.

FYI my inflation increase was larger than my promotion increase and my student loan payments also were stopped since I’m no longer an SA.

I recently got diagnosed with ADHD. I'm 31 and found this only because b school and post mba consulting job was/is much more challenging than anything I did before. What I'm confused about is that even as a teenager I could read entire books overnight. But the last two years of high school I started selectively zoning out and the problem has become worse since. I just realised it now. My doctor has suggested treating depression (I was also unaware of this) with Wellbutrin first (contd)
