Scrub shower doors
Repetitive scrubbing gives no visible result until close to the end, and by then the drive has already drained. The reward arrives too late to carry the whole task. The visual support below cuts the doors into smaller zones so progress shows along the way.

About this visual support
The problem with scrubbing shower doors is not the scrubbing itself, but the lack of small wins along the way. The glass looks roughly the same the whole time until suddenly the job is done. For a child who needs steady motivation, that becomes a long stretch with the only reward sitting at the very end.
Visual support moves the reward from the finish line to every smaller stage. The cards show that the door is split into fields, one at the top, one in the middle, one at the bottom, and that each gets ticked off in turn. What looks identical to the eye becomes divided on paper, and each tick is a visible gain.
A concrete tip: run a finger through the foam after each field, so the wet line becomes a marker for where you were and where you are heading next. That small difference carries the work forward. In the Routined app, scrubbing can sit as one step inside a bigger bathroom-cleaning routine, so the child sees one piece of the whole falling into place.
