Clean the balcony
The door out to the balcony stands there, and behind it a heap of flowerpots, leaves and forgotten things with no obvious beginning. The hardest part is often the first step outside. The pictures below point to where to start and what comes next.

About this visual support
Cleaning the balcony often stalls before it has even begun. The space looks like one gathered mess where everything seems equally important and nothing points to itself as the first task. When the brain cannot find a way in, it is easier to shut the door again than to step out, and so it sits there another week.
Pictures help by pointing out the very first step. When the row begins with something simple and concrete, open the door, carry out the things that do not belong, sweep the floor, the child does not have to invent a plan. The hardest part, getting started, becomes simply doing what the picture shows, and once the first step is done the rest pulls along behind.
One concrete tip: make step one absurdly small, for example just carrying the broom out onto the balcony. Then the threshold is crossed before there is time to think, and you are already where the work is. The whole task, from the first tiny step to the last, you can lay out as a sequence in the Routined app.
