I found the ultimate ADHD life hack for chores

There’s….There’s no rules, y'all

You don’t have to do… everything at once

You’re in the bathroom for a few minutes? Just put a couple of things away and wipe down the faucet and then leave. You don’t have to clean the WHOLE THING at once

This is both an ADHD life hack AND a disability life hack

SO OFTEN I feel helpless and useless because I can’t do chores. But. What if. I do. SMALL things. I can wipe a countertop down while my coffee brews. I can sweep up just a small area. I can only put away half my clothes.

ANY progress is good. ANY AT ALL!

Don’t make fun, my “GET THE WHOLE JOB DONE OR DON’T BOTHER AT ALL” mentality drilled into my brain for years isn’t easy to overcome ;)]

My grandma used to tell me that "there are starving children in Africa" everytime I wouldn't finish my plate because she was forcing me to eat the Bad Texture™. That somehow never worked on me. I mean how is me finnishing my plate supposed to fix the problem? Irrelevant! If you wanna fix that then maybe start giving to fucking charity or something!

Anyway, no one knew I was neurodivergent for some reason.

[ID: Picture of someone saying no to the text "Actual child pornography labeled as 'Loli' or 'Lolita' in order to write it off as not fucking child porn". Then saying yeah to a cute, lolita fashion dress. End ID]

lolita fashion (NOT to be confused with loli/lolita cp) is so cute I just wish it were named something else

[ID: Two black and white panels of two characters. They look like they might have been drawn on MS paint with a mouse.

First: The first character is asking the second: "hey man do u wanna get french toast". The second, looking confused, answers: "sorry what did u say i couldn't hear u im sorry"

Second: The first character repeats: "i said do u wanna go-" The second interrupts them: "oh shit yeah i heard u actually lets get some french toast" . Their text is red and has shadows. It's overlapping with the other speech bubble. They are more poorly drawn and their eyes are crossed outwards. End ID]

I literally just rewatched like half of the first neji vs hinata chunin exam fight episode just so I could confirm a detail and instead I made myself angry again

this sort of kind of reminds me of this class i had a few years ago where we talked about boundaries, how to keep them, and how to make sure people near you are safe too. probably because i think about it most of the time lol

the instructor was this big tall kind of imposing man who commented on how this exercise was one of the only times he thought that was a good thing. he asked for a volunteer and had them stand a few feet away from the wall on one end of the classroom while he walked over to the one opposite them. it was a big room so he was pretty far away

“i’m going to walk towards you and talk to you about my son,” he explained, in a totally friendly and disarming way. “im just going to talk and maybe gesture a little and walk towards you, just talking! and when i get too close, all you have to do is tell me to stop and i’ll stop. its ok! really! i wont be upset at all and this is just a class, i’ll stop on a dime!”

and then he did exactly what he said he was going to, but very loud and walking kind of fast. the room echoed and everyone was watching. he hadn’t lied at all, but it was just kind of a lot. the volunteer immediately took a step back and looked more guarded but didn’t say anything until he was basically on top of her. 

he stopped, and then he asked her “when did you WANT me to stop?”

she admitted that she was a little uncomfortable about how fast he was moving from the start, but halfway across the room is when she really didnt want him closer.

“yeah, i know! i was paying attention. i saw your nonverbal cues right away, but a lot of people who preface their actions with a speech like mine won’t. by constantly reassuring someone they can tell you to stop, the responsibility falls on YOU instead, in their eyes, and also makes you second guess using that to begin with! because you knew i didnt want to hurt you, or thought you knew that, the idea of telling me to stop, of suggesting i wasn’t safe, made you second guess your gut and worry about my feelings. it’s good to check in like i did, but it doesn’t mean you can stop being perceptive, and you have to keep in mind that just because you give them this tool doesn’t mean they’ll feel comfortable using it. once you understand that, there will be a lot fewer cases of people “blowing up” at you”
