    I have a job working with teams to improve processes. I think a lot about waste and efficiencies, what end users will actually do or adopt, making things easier / faster, etc. Now I think about these things all the time in daily life, apply them to my ADHD, and iterate endlessly:

    • If I put a thing I need to do a thing I hate behind another thing, I’m guaranteed not to dig it out. Tetris the things so the limiting thing is easy to grab. I.e., watering can, vacuum
    • If I need a thing for multiple tasks or multiple locations and keeping misplacing the thing or not wanting to go get the thing, get more things and put them in all the places. I.e., gloves, sponges, tools
    • Figure out what I need to do the thing I don’t want to do as efficiently as possible. I.e., Good sponges and scrubbers for dishes, vacuum that is easier to pull out/put away

    Also, radical acceptance of the things that are limiters.

    • High sensory levels and distaste for dampness- gloves for dishes, gloves for gardening, gloves for cleaning
    • Not going to put all my clothes away consistently ever, design a dresser situation that supports clothes piling without blocking access to drawers
