I’ve seen my wife open the mailbox, look at what’s in it, say “Ugh I don’t want to deal with that,” and PUT IT BACK IN THE MAILBOX
True and all, but this is an autism community. Why are there so overwhelmingly many ADHD posts here? There are ADHD communities for content like this.
I’m in this picture and I don’t like it
Does it come with massive amounts of anxiety every time I look at it?
But only until you go to another room.
You can also just cover them with a pizza box.
Um… How many pieces form a pile?
I know mine’s more than I can count at a glance.
Because counting them would require touching them
I have two right now, and they might as well be a pile, knowing my patterns. They will form a basis of a good big proper pile until I have a manic episode.
Or any other DOOM ( Didn’t Organize Only Move ) pile.
I have boxes for that.
Once I scan them and file them digitally I will throw them away! Any day now…
No need for scanning. I have a binder where I neatly organize them, and currently they are all shoved under the binder so that the cats won’t play with them.
I also have set up paperless for this!
I also have a very few things in paperless
Pretty sure that’s not ADHD but anybody seriously in debt crisis.
No debt but still have pile of unopened letters. It’s a huge relief when I finally tackle them and realize it’s mostly just junk mail. Only to find it was pile from last year and this year’s pile was on the other side of the desk to be anxiously avoided until I have the willpower to do it again in a few months. Then I remember that’s how I got badly in debt in the first place.
It gets easier. Then harder! Then I find sonething new to dive into and forget all about it again
No extraordinary debts (just the normal ones on auto-pay) but the other day I inadvertently unearthed a speeding ticket from a traffic camera in a foreign country I traveled to four years ago.
I have no idea if I paid it, but now every time I see it I get filled with the dread that I’m somehow an international fugitive, and yet I’d still rather die in a foreign prison cell than call the number on the ticket and ask if it’s been paid.
The trick with those is, if you never acknowledge you received it in any way you don’t have to pay and never get in trouble.
…Probably, I only have one data point.
If you haven’t gotten any reminders, they don’t really care, and it may have even reached statues of limitations. And unless it’s a real corrupt country, they’ll just have you pay it if they “catch” you. Just throw it away.
What a surprisingly profound post.
That’s how I feel about everything I learn through tough experiences and then try to incorporate and keep incorporated in my life.
Try the following trick: mail is a mix of different kinds of junk. So unopened mail needs to be separated in order to sort it into the correct bin. Opening is not about reading and reading is only about checking if it can be binned directly. If you have similar tendencies as I do, this works wonders. You have you separate the envelopes that have plastic windows though, they belong to a different bin.
Also people who are really lazy. “Eh I’ll check them out later”
¿Por que no los dos?
When I moved house, I put all the Very Urgent Mail into a separate pile and packed it into my backpack instead of a box.
So I could go through it and do what needs doing before all the boxes are unpacked in the new house.
The pile still sits on my desk untouched, it’s been 6 months, and my cat now sits down on it whenever she wants to be left in peace. She knows I’m not gonna go near that.
I figure since no cops or court officers have shown up yet, it can’t have been that urgent after all.I don’t like this post because I have three
I keep tuning maybe I don’t have adhd and then I read posts like this.
Confirmed ADHD.
I thought it was more an anxiety pile
No. I don’t check my mail to avoid it
