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).

I don't go for low demand, but I reduce friction. Have to hurry to wash sheets and put them back on? Buy an extra set. Swap them, wash the previous ones at your own pace, no hurry.

    Good example! I guess I do a lot of this kind of stuff already, which is nice to hear. Maybe the goal for me can be identifying when I am doing it and where there might be gaps.

    I'm AuDHD so I've got multiples of most things LMAO (lose everything all the time).
