A room where you have to walk in front of all the actors, quietly standing and watching, to a door on the opposite corner, so you also have to excuse yourself as you squeeze through

I have organized folders of bookmarks for things I go back to, “:D” tabs meaning >99, and a separate unorganized bookmark folder with a collection of tabs from an old phone that made me realize I will never go back to bookmarked “to read” tabs bc I already can’t get thru the collection that’s open.

I have a job working with teams to improve processes. I think a lot about waste and efficiencies, what end users will actually do or adopt, making things easier / faster, etc. Now I think about these things all the time in daily life, apply them to my ADHD, and iterate endlessly:

• If I put a thing I need to do a thing I hate behind another thing, I’m guaranteed not to dig it out. Tetris the things so the limiting thing is easy to grab. I.e., watering can, vacuum
• If I need a thing for multiple tasks or multiple locations and keeping misplacing the thing or not wanting to go get the thing, get more things and put them in all the places. I.e., gloves, sponges, tools
• Figure out what I need to do the thing I don’t want to do as efficiently as possible. I.e., Good sponges and scrubbers for dishes, vacuum that is easier to pull out/put away

Also, radical acceptance of the things that are limiters.

• High sensory levels and distaste for dampness- gloves for dishes, gloves for gardening, gloves for cleaning
• Not going to put all my clothes away consistently ever, design a dresser situation that supports clothes piling without blocking access to drawers

Sometimes my ADHD feels like trying to run a marathon with my shoes untied. I’m so worried about tripping I struggle to focus on what I’m doing, but as soon as I stop being careful about tripping I’ll face plant. But I also realized that’s just part of the deal. As long as I keep getting up and shuffling along I’ll still make it further than most people, even if I’m way behind the marathoners. Basically, when the plan fails, just roll with it and don’t let it keep you from getting back up.

Picking any kind of method of approach requires learning, iteration, and will come with failures. Keep tinkering until you find the rhythm that works for you.
