rabagast: the problem is i have a shitload of nail clippers but only one of them is really good and the bad nail clippers obscure the good one just by existing in my house, because now i also have to identify the one good clipper out of the lot, and my middle-aged vision isn't up to this task.

After telling someone to throw out yet another useless book of advice for neurodivergent people clearly written by someone who isn’t neurodivergent I have one tip re developing a habit w ADHD: make it really easy to implement. Kids dropping wrappers on floor? Put out more trash cans in those areas

"Put the thing where your brain wants you to do the thing" is such a fucking basic rule, why is it so hard

Adam Savage's book "Every Tool a Hammer" explicitly gives you permission to get a second x-acto knife and a second pair of pliers and leave a set at each spot you need them rather than wander around looking for where you last left The Tool and omg it is LIBERATING.

exactly why we have 15 pairs of scissors and nail clippers in the house

I need to get about 10 more pairs of nail clippers for this exact reason
