Leaving my therapist last session she told me I should look into what a “low demand lifestyle” was. My first thought was “f u, no???” and my second thought was “okay but how do I actually incorporate these things?”

I would be grateful to hear how folks of all support need levels have incorporated this concept into their lives.

In my particular situation I have a huge amount of autonomy in my life so most of my struggles are from self demands. It’s a lot easier for me to act on demands from others (so long as I agree they are good demands, things that make sense or that I don’t really care about but care about the person asking so I can do it without too much resistance).

    Rice cooker with a scheduable cooker. I can get it ready the night before or right before i need. Then i take some of it and throw it in the fridge to have it ready for fried rice through out the week. The rest I chow with sauerkraut throught the day.

    I try to do laundry every day, easier to match and put stuff away. I hang every thing besides socks witch can be stuff in a drawer or bag.

    Ive been trying to move to more fermented, shelf stable or frozen foods too. Just to reduce the complixity of tracking when stuff is going bad as much.

    I’ve been slowly moving the yard to a food forest managment style. This has been a lot of help personally too. So it gets wild its ok, i pick what i want when it makes sense or process stuff like apples when if I have free time and theyre ready, but its no loss to just put them in a pile to fertilize.
