I find cleaning and organizing is easier to handle in little bits.. If I see a thing out of place, or randomly someplace, I try to find a place for it. Right now, which takes maybe 30 seconds.

Of course, the downside is that here, stuff builds up at a rate of many things a minute it seems, so I'm still losing the battle, but at least a few things are right. I also find certain times of the day and month are better for me to clean and organize. I try to get as much done when that bug hits as I can, knowing it will be two weeks before I get the right hormones again.

Not sure how to defuse your rage; meditation? Or does that increase your stress because it's one more thing on the to-do list? Or can you channel the anger into getting a few things put away? Sometimes I can do that; things are in my way so I put them away. Cleaning and organizing calms me, on those occasions I get to do it.

When you feel negative, can you maybe come up with something positive to counter it? Just in your head. Like, I hate vacuuming, but at least we have new carpet, so it looks nice when I do manage to get it done.
