One of the stranger things about training brand new nurses is explaining how to min max small talk. It feels very weird to coach people on how to chat.

I thought I would share one of my favorite drawing hacks that hopefully can save you some pain in your hands and wrist.

[xerox-candybar]

As an AuADHD person, Unfucking my house required a huge un-learning of all institutional knowledge bequeathed to me.

- I have trouble putting away my shoes. It’s not a moral failing, actually. I just need a bench with storage so I don’t forget this step.

- my partner and I had different views on conventional kitchen storage, advice passed down by our respective kin. Lies, all of it.

- office supplies / clothing / every day personal items shouldn’t be seen? Fuck. That. Noise. If it’s not in my vision it doesn’t exist, and that’s why all my bathrooms have clearly visible toilet paper holding contractions—so I can see how much TP I have left

- look for storage and furniture that matches how you use it. don’t be tempted by the siren song of things that look pretty—they are selling you dreams. don’t give into peer pressure about what your space should and shouldn’t look like—this is between you and god.

- you can have as many things as you need and put them whenever you need. One umbrella can live in your car, it’s okay. Your gym clothes, sunglasses and shopping bags will keep Car Umbrella company. Just as your other set of sunglasses and shopping bags will make friends with House Umbrella. This is 100x more practical and pleasant than shoving a solitary umby into a closet and trusting it will always return promptly

- organizing a living space is a lot like exercise—do whatever is sustainable/accessible/least painful, and focus on whatever brings you joy.

On one hand, it's great to see people learn how to unfuck their living spaces. On the other hand, that stuff like "frequently used articles should be stored near where they're used" and "trash receptacles should be placed near activities that generate trash" are being received as radical ideas points to a serious knowledge transmission problem.
