don’t put things back or away where they are supposed to go when I’m done with them and move on to the next activity or room

Don’t pay attention to, or care about, where things go when you’re done with them.
Have some children.
I can confirm that this works. I have four.
Or get a monkey
Wait until you run out of dishes before you start to wash any.
Wash one at a time as you use them so the sink is always full. Free botulism.
My answer to this is: don’t clean and organize anything. Wherever my wife lets me get away with it, it’s been working great for me for the past 35 years.
Keep telling yourself you’ll clean it later when you have more energy
Don’t schedule and organize your life, so you’re constantly having to drop what you’re doing to respond to an event you could have planned for.
Have children.
I switch between jeans and pjs for pants. Whatever I’m not wearing is on the ground near the couch.
Designate an empty corner as a random shit corner. Toss a deflated aero bed and an unused laptop bag over there, more will come. Trust the process.
Keep a blanket on the couch. Never make your bed.
Tissues will eventually make their way to the trash. No need to get up.
Always take home leftovers and never eat them.
Smoke a phat bowl before cleaning anything. Not as a reward, before lifting a finger.
Don't remove your shoes inside the house.
