Poor executive functioning is a big part of ADHD. Finding it difficult to plan, organise, prioritise or sequence. Being overwhelmed and then stuck not knowing where to start. Tools like planners, calendars and reminders can help if they are used consistently but beware of relying on them too much. - ThreadSky

I needed to become skilled at learning hacks, as I call them.
If I cannot see something, I will not remember it, so I have dedicated areas, or *stations*, thruout my home. Every item shared by family has a specific, not-in-use place. Exs:
(personal wk station)
2. fam laundry
3. 🎎🥑prep station, etc

Had similar where I was renting before. Areas and everything always in its place or it might cease to exist. Then while travelling I had a system for how I unpacked and laid things out and how I repacked.

The trick for systems to work is for me to keep using them until they have found themselves into well-worn memory; before this happens I must practice. Tho I call them hacks, they're not fast.
The old adage, There is a place for everything, (thus) Everything must be in its place, seems to work here.

I literally used to repeat that adage with an ex. And yes, they’ve got to become muscle memory. Hard coded. I went a bit too far and hard coded too many things and needed to run off around the world for a hardware reset.

Relatable about going too far with boundaries! Esp. when you are working to make them permanent; no patience for politeness🤖
Sidebar: An ex or more than 1 ex, seems to be the norm for many folks like us.
Breaking up doesn't have to be sad but I've had quite a bit of relational💥🔥, throughout my life.

This is a whole area I’m trying to figure out how to write about. Because I can be general but to be specific I’d have to use examples. And yes there’s been a few. A lot of chasing or a lot of running away. Let’s not even get into limerence.
