Pick things up (until both hands, arms, elbows, armpits, etc are fully saturated).
Put things away. DO NOT PICK UP ANYTHING AT ALL UNTIL BOTH HANDS ARE EMPTIED.
1) take out the trash
2) put clean stuff away (from your "sorting station")
3) pick things up
4) put things away
5) circulate (start from a bathroom or kitchen and spiral "outwards"), and begin the "pick things up" phase again.
Take out the trash removes "constipation" (the ability to "evacuate" or "clear" unwanted or unneeded items)
Put clean things away reaps the rewards of your prior investment in cleaning, and clears out your "sorting station" ... the necessary, temporary workplace for sorting or prepping clean items.
Picking things up (until saturation) makes it a game of ordering, organizing the held items where you're effectively pre-planning your drop-off route in order to remove the items from your hands.
Putting things away UNTIL EMPTY stops the ADD distraction of "doing something else useful" because you "MUST" complete the "pick things up phase" by "putting them all away".
Spiraling outwards from a bathroom generally means that a bathroom has an unambiguous "cleaned" state (trash, toilet, sink, mirror, floor, drawers, etc).
Bathrooms/kitchens generally connect to bedrooms or living spaces, and repeating the steps above (trash, clean, pick, put) in the bedroom or living area is effectively "guaranteed to terminate".
I've always thought it was the same as the bubble sort algorithm we were taught in uni.
Take something one step towards where it belongs, and pick up anything going in the same direction you are.
Repeat that a few times and everything gets where it belongs. Not the most optimal algorithm (it's a bubble sort after all) but it helps.
