letztes JahrToo tedious… I would get caught up in making the reminder & lose it or not finish or put it somewhere & forget it.

vor 2 JahrenThat’s a great idea if I remembered to put them on. My old ass Gen X ableism might get triggered, but I could see it working for my kids.

vor 3 JahrenLove the idea, but I know that it wouldn’t work for me because of the simple fact that each month I’d have to delegate a task on that board, or just simply keeping track of those bracelets. Plus, my hyper-sensitivity or whatever it is thanks to ADHD, I have become less and less able to wear things on my body. Some clothes I struggle with wearing during a day. What I try to do for myself is to a. Have LOTS of grace. I’ve learned to let go, and learn ADHD! My house will never be TV clean! That’s just not MY reality. Not in a house FULL of ADHDers. So everyday I simply write when I write out my brain dump, clean what you can. Nothing specific this way, IF I don’t do, say the kitchen, I’m not going to feel that failure bearing down on me, especially if say I DID, clean up the boys toys. It’s still cleaning. It just maybe wasn’t what I had wanted on my list. So I took that off. I HAVE a separate list of areas I WANT to clean, and then I can go there and check those off as I hit them. I clean the bathroom Tuesday, just impulsively. And then last night I was going through my bucket book, and there was bathroom, I was like no sh*t! I can cross that off! I’d forgotten about it! So that felt so good! But WHEN I clean, I try to stay IN that room. I try to make sure ALL my rooms in my house have a garbage and recycling to prevent me from having to walk away. And IF something has to go into another room. It’s a pile, and when I’m ready to quit, I tend to that pile putting everything IN its rightful places. Not just in that room. That’s what my husband does. I say, that’s just more work for future you! Pay yourself now, and finish it by taking the extra steps to just putting it in its rightful place! Since doing those *small* changes it’s been a lot more productive for myself because that weight of failure is off of myself. And then EVERYDAY, so long as I cleaned some, I’m able to check it off and get that dopamine hit to feel like I accomplished something and want to keep going the next day. Is my house getting cleaner? NO!!!! I live with TWO Tasmanian Devils! They MAKE messes more than they clean them! So after I clean I turn around and there’s a new mess made. But at least it’s not messes on top of messes. I grew up in that, I HATED that! But I love your idea! And I hope you have great success with it! It’s always so fun to see and hear what works for everyone. Or what they’re trying.

totally get what you mean, my only problem for me is how I have to balance “make less work for future me” with “don’t get distracted”. Like, I just want to quickly put the laundry basket in my room and go to bed because it’s 2am….. but then I say, no, I’m gonna make less work for future me, so I start hanging up all the clothes. Then I see a cool shirt I never wear and take it out and have to leave my room to put it in the bag to go to my stepsister’s thrift store (because I know I’ll forget if I don’t), and then have to not get distracted in the living room, make it back to my room, finish hanging up the clothes WITHOUT organizing, and get to bed… Sometimes it’s so bad that I get ready for bed in the dark so I literally can’t get distracted with anything around my room😅😅 So I’ve tried to just leave the work for future me only when it means going to bed on time.
