Too tedious⊠I would get caught up in making the reminder & lose it or not finish or put it somewhere & forget it.
Never in a million years. Reading/ looking at this alone elevated My stress level to an uncomfy level My eye is twitching from overwhelm

I've never used it this way, but we do this with horses, and a tag that says "did your turn the water off"
Thatâs 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.
Ha! Before i read the post I thought it was for hanging up your car keys everyday for some reason that made me panic insideâŠ.. oh the mysteries

Love the idea, but I know that it wouldnât work for me because of the simple fact that each month Iâd 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. Iâve learned to let go, and learn ADHD! My house will never be TV clean! Thatâs 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 donât do, say the kitchen, Iâm not going to feel that failure bearing down on me, especially if say I DID, clean up the boys toys. Itâs still cleaning. It just maybe wasnât 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! Iâd 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. Itâs a pile, and when Iâm ready to quit, I tend to that pile putting everything IN its rightful places. Not just in that room. Thatâs what my husband does. I say, thatâs 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 itâs 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, Iâm 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 thereâs a new mess made. But at least itâs 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! Itâs always so fun to see and hear what works for everyone. Or what theyâre trying.
totally get what you mean, my only problem for me is how I have to balance âmake less work for future meâ with âdonât get distractedâ. Like, I just want to quickly put the laundry basket in my room and go to bed because itâs 2amâŠ.. but then I say, no, Iâm 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 stepsisterâs thrift store (because I know Iâll forget if I donât), 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 itâs so bad that I get ready for bed in the dark so I literally canât get distracted with anything around my roomđ đ So Iâve tried to just leave the work for future me only when it means going to bed on time.
