A house swapping cleaning service. I clean your house, you clean mine.
I recently helped out a friend who was in a depression slump due to the loss of a close family member. It was hard work, the place was a wreck, but I happily did it because I knew it would greatly improve their mental state.
Then I went home.
To my depression hole, which is disgustingly dirty and hoardery.
I'm the friend who can and will send back an order for a friend because they got a tomato when they asked for no tomato, but won't ask again if my waiter forgets my ranch. That is to say, I want to take care of people that I love and will go out of my way to do so, but seem to have executive dysfunction when it comes to my own shit.
So! I propose a swapping service. I clean your house, you clean mine. You're nearby (but not on top of me, maybe quarantined to one room that I'll do last) so that I can run through things like "are we keeping this or throwing it away?" Or "you have 5 different sizes of pants, which ones fit you currently and which ones are we storing for weight loss/gain?" Etc. But you're entirely hands off, doing your own thing.
Then you come do the same thing at my place!
