One tip is to break the task into smaller tasks.
For example, when I tidy up the house, my task isn't to tidy up the house. My task is to take this one object and put it where it belongs. Then I start on another task until I'm out of time or tasks.
The best thing I ever learned to help with cleaning is that no matter the size of the mess, rooms only have 5 things in them:
Trash
Laundry
Dishes
Things with a place
Things without a place
If you clean one category at a time it's a lot less overwhelming. Shout out to the book How to Keep House While Drowning for more tips like that, it's written specifically for neurodivergent people.
Right, but then I get overwhelmed with this huge list of tasks!
You don't have a huge list of tasks. You have a single task, then you find another single task.
I like to explain it as function currying to computer savvy folks... your first task is to do the first chunk, your second and only remaining task is to create a new task to do next.

none of these words are in the bible
Oh, sorry, that's from the book of Mormon.
