Ridiculous Yet Effective Ways To Deal With Executive Dysfunction

Ridiculous yet effective ways to deal with Executive Dysfunction

Dealing with executive dysfunction and ADHD becomes so much easier when you stop trying to do things the way you feel like you should be able to do them (like everyone else) and start finding ways that actually work for you, no matter how “silly” or “unnecessary” they seem.

For years my floor was constantly covered in laundry. Clean laundry got mixed in with dirty and I had to wash things twice, just making more work for myself. Now I just have 3 laundry bins: dirty (wash it later), clean (put it away later), and mystery (figure it out later). Sure, theoretically I could sort my clothes into dirty or clean as soon as I take them off and put them away straight out of the dryer, but realistically that’s never going to be a sustainable strategy for me.

How many garbage bins do you need in a bedroom? One? WRONG! The correct answer is one within arms reach at all times. Which for me is three. Because am I really going to get up to blow my nose when I’m hyperfocusing? NO. In allergy season I even have an empty kleenex box for “used tissues I can use again.” Kinda gross? Yeah. But less gross than a snowy winter landscape of dusty germs on my desk.

I used to be late all the time because I couldn’t find my house key. But it costs $2.50 and 3 minutes to copy a key, so now there’s one in my backpack, my purse, my gym bag, my wallet, my desk, and hanging on my door. Problem solved.

I’m like a ninja for getting pout the door past reminder notes without noticing. If I really don’t want to forget something, I make a physical barrier in front of my door. A sticky note is a lot easier to walk past than a two foot high cardboard box with my wallet on top of it.

Executive dysfunction is always going to cause challenges, but often half the struggle is trying to cope by pretending not to have executive dysfunction, instead of finding actual solutions.

People Either Love Or Hate Adult Fei And Like, I Get Both Points? In My Opinion They Nailed The Shape
People Either Love Or Hate Adult Fei And Like, I Get Both Points? In My Opinion They Nailed The Shape

People either love or hate adult fei and like, i get both points? In my opinion they nailed the shape (it’s camp) but i also guess that they messed up his palette because fei is supposed to have strong yellow and orange palette in both skin and outfits so he looks off as an adult. because grayish outfit and pink skin are Not what he’s supposed to be. Most of Fei’s outfits are orange or if he’s not it’s the vibrant GO raimon blue

Musing about Sakuma being a psychology or any kind of social studies major.. he would want to study more about people and behaviors out of not wanting to repeat his mistakes in S1 era and so that no children will go thru the same thing ever

Sometimes I love the internet, actually. Incomprehensibly huge place but also so small. Saw a video on Instagram where Crayola was announcing they’re coming out with a box with some limited edition previously retired colors, including Dandelion. This video had hundreds of comments and almost all of them where “omg where’s the dandelion crayon girl she’s going to be so happy” and it was such an unimportant thing, but it was just cute

it's very disheartening to see people posting men they like from whatever stories they're into and being like he's like a woman to me BUT theyre not headcanoning this character as a trans woman theyre saying this character is similar to a woman in that he is bad at stuff maybe or isn't really where he wants to be in life but not in a gender sense like specifically in the sense of being pathetic and bad at things. like maybe he's in between jobs right now or maybe one time he cried. and this is womanesque behavior for a man to exhibit. and the people who say this? pronouns. sometimes even several. it really does boggle the mind.

the thing is like I genuinely can't think of any other sites that are any fun for posting art on where 1) people will see it (both in terms of enough people on the site & in terms of searchability (like with tags)) and 2) they'll say things about it (like they do in the tags here!!)
