In multiple rooms: *Tissues (I have allergies, nothing stops the drip) *Pens and drawing supplies *notepads, blank and lined.

  • I have charging stations in every room of the house that has a power point.
  • Visual communication cards, because my grandson lives with me and is non verbal.
  • let's not mention toys, that list would be long.
  • I have tool stations in multiple places and you'll probably find a tool I've left laying around in every room.
  • multiple cleaning supply stations.
  • sanitary pads.
  • medication lock boxes.
  • soap and hand sanitiser, I've always been like this, I didn't need to buy any when covid hit.
  • cables and drawers of back up cables, old digital devices. (I still have a fucking VCR)
  • I will mention stim toys, essential items, they're everywhere. Although in a pinch, find me a good stick and I'm good. I'll show you a multitude of tricks.
  • torches, lamps and night lights etc, so even if all the lights are off, there's just enough lighting so you won't trip over a stupid cat.
  • there used to be more art everywhere, made by the occupants of the house, might need to replenish that.
  • throw rugs specifically for warms and comforts when gaming or watching the telly, or sitting and chatting.

Stuff I carry with me everywhere: (Do I count my bag? I tend to throw everything I carry, even in the house in there) *a little Treasure and magic.

*Phone *headphones / earbuds. *visuals.

  • a hat (it's summer I have multiple accessible and mostly go everywhere with one, it's daggy, I don't care)
  • HAIR TIES!. Actually they're absolutely everywhere. Cats love them too, grrr. Can not survive the day without hair ties, my hair is down to my ass and thick and wavy, it burns with the fire of a thousand suns if I don't tie it up. It's like wearing a winter coat at all times. I need a haircut.

    It's pretty much just Vimto. I carry some around in a water bottle when I got out and any place I regularly visit has a bottle of concentrate appear in its cupboards. I fucking love Vimto.

    The knives? Because they're useful! How else will I clean my nails or cut tubing when I'm inevitably having to work on the plumbing again.

    No need for a poop knife with a composting toilet tho.

    (Mostly a few morakniv 546 but I just expanded my Grohmann collection after visiting the factory)

    This made me realize I didn't have a knife in the bathroom and that I should probably fix that. Otherwise I tend to only have one of everything since I pretty much only have one living area to fill.

    (Ouh and fire extinguishers!)

  • microusb, usb-c, lightning charging cords

    I have a bunch of usb c to __ adapters. In any area where I'd use something not usb C I have a few of them scattered around.

    All my laptops can charge off usb c so every room has a high wattage usb c charger so I can charge anything, wherever I am.

    theres an app called Due which is really helpful because its loud and it keeps bugging you untik you check the item done and it lets you type the deadline/due date in natural language so its super easy to input tasks and har them dated properly very easily

    Also, it might be helpful for you to limit yourself to 1 big outcome a day and limit/reserve your energy for that so you dint get overwhelmed.

    Once you pound back enough Wins and things improve in your environment, it will be easier ro start doubling up and doing a little more per day till you get where you want to go and for your conditions to improve.

    Take it slow but determinedly and keep dreaming up what or the ways you you need things to be improved and work on gradually bridging that gap. Listen to a soecific enjoyable book or podcast just for the times you're working on what you want to get done or improve at so you have a cue to your being that triggers your action mode

    Theres another app LongDay or you can do Dr. David Burns 24 hour schedule exercise where you plan your day in the morning and later annotate what got done. The impirtant osrt of this scheduling is it gets you to gather what you want to get done and schedule it (inherently estimating the duration of time required + naturally seperating things with breaks here and there to create a realistic and practical roadmap for reaching your objectives and actually having objectives you' ve purposefully designated

    (I like the Daily Activity Schedule with 30 minute or even 15 min blocks but its more important to get going get going. Start hourly and master that then you can expand that but hourly is ideal at the start for getting the process mastered and having a more manageable agenda to fit around all your existing obligations.

    1. Write out all the outcomes (not what needs to be done, its what you want done ultimately, leave the how for later
    2. Put all the usual milestones of your day (meal times, sleep window, work, school, ect) first to give you a scaffold or structure to make sure priority things that are most necessary are allocated enough time and you dont ignore important needs/limits
    3. Block out your outcome(s) with the most laborious (emrequiring the most effort or stamina) being scheduled earliest possible so you have the most energy to deal with them

    Guanfacine is a blood pressure reducer that also treats ADHD. Some protocols combine it with a stimulant to reduce stimulant use and control BP. Maybe talk to your doctor about the possibility.

    Also, daily cardio exercise helps with both pressure and ADHD symptoms.
