Clean the living room
Blankets, remotes, cups, toys and magazines all mixed together make the living room hard to grasp, since each thing belongs in its own place. The visual support below bundles items into groups so the choices grow fewer.

About this visual support
The sheer variety of things is what makes the living room tricky. Unlike a kid's room, where most of it is toys, here cups, blankets, remotes, books and games all mix, and each one belongs somewhere else. Faced with that many different decisions at once, choosing what to grab first gets hard, and the hesitation easily turns into nothing at all.
Visual support cuts the number of decisions by clumping them together. When one picture says gather all the cups, the next gather all the toys, the next fold the blankets, the child only has to do one kind of thing at a time. The sorting is already done in the pictures, so the energy goes into tidying rather than deliberating.
One concrete tip: give each category its own carrier, a basket for toys, a tray for dishes, a pile for things headed to other rooms. Doing one lap per category, rather than carrying single items back and forth, keeps the movement simple and the result shows up faster.
It helps to set the categories as steps in Routined so the child can follow them on screen while the room empties. You can try the app for fourteen days at no cost.
