Kick those baboons and other motherfuckers out

Does anyone know of a software-based thing that I can use in my usually-vain attempt to sort my life out? Something like a daily reminder of Things I Need To Do. I don't mean for appointments and so forth, although I fail at those too - but one-off things I can deal with by writing them down or getting my Mum to remind me. I want something where I can - for example - put in "Cat boxes" or "Clean Kitchen Floor" or "Isn't it time your sheets got washed" and make it pop up a reminder at predetermined intervals.

Yes, I know how lame that is. I know I'm meant to be a fucking adult and be able to do this shit without help. But I've always pretty much failed at being adult and I'm sick of it. I'm sick of living in a place I'm ashamed to have people visit and a life I'm ashamed to expose details of, and I need help fixing it.

I have a friend who deals with it by asking other people to tell him to do things. That wouldn't work for me though. Being told by people brings out my inner two-year-old, and my two-year-old self sticks her tongue out and says "You can't make me." I'd just end up avoiding and resenting my friends and that's not fair on anyone. I need something to make it easier for me to tell myself, because I'm the only one I ever listen to - my issue is forgetting to tell myself, or not noticing (or caring enough) how much time's passed since I last did necessary tedious chores.

I would say it was a downside of living on my own, but honestly, I wasn't noticeably better when I didn't. People I've lived with just ended up perennially annoyed with my boundless capacity to ignore squalor, and depending on who it was, they'd either do it themselves and bitch at me afterwards or we'd just fight about it continually.

I'm so fucking sick of myself. This is the root of the reason no one's seeing much of me anywhere these days; I don't LIKE myself enough to inflict me on the rest of you. Something has to give and I need it to be this. Can anyone offer practical suggestions please? I don't promise to take any of them up but I do promise to listen and be grateful.
