soooo I’m finally watching Marie Kondo’s Netflix show in an attempt to motivate myself to clean my room, and while a lot of the tips seem like things that will be good for my ADHD and anxiety, the homes she looks at are... kind of already clean? Like, no dust, no trash, no dirty laundry, no spiderwebs. There’s lots of clutter, but not a lot of actual dirtiness. And especially with my worsening depression, I’ve been trying not to think about how bad my room is for so long that there are Actual Cobwebs in a couple corners. I know I’m an extreme exception, but if you had any tips on how to tackle that aspect, I would fully appreciate it
Marie Kondo is less of a “clean your home” show and more of a “keep it organized.”
It’s also important to remember that no matter how real the people are, parts are staged. Because I guarantee you, some of those houses with the amount of clutter that is in them? Will absolutely have dust, cobwebs, and mold problems. We’re just not being shown them.
But that doesn’t mean you also can’t use Marie’s techniques to actually clean.
I’ve talked before about removing the lid from the laundry hamper helped ETD actually start putting laundry in the basket instead of on the floor/any flat surface. What I’ve yet to talk about is how that in no way helped us keep on top of doing laundry. The thing that really helped us was buying multiple cheap laundry baskets (this kind) and sorting our laundry out as we got changed. For example, there are three laundry baskets lined up near the door in our bedroom. One has t-shirts, another one has underwear, and another has, like, pants and jeans and shit. They serve both as visual reminders that we need to do laundry and help with pre-sorting laundry. Once they get full to a certain point, it’s time to do a laundry load.
We’ve also got baskets like these for towels, kitchen things and bed linens. Everything just goes into visible baskets, which can, if necessary, be stacked and shoved into a closet if company suddenly comes over. (Though that doesn’t happen so much these days.)
I also use spare hampers for doing 15-minute-pick-ups, which is exactly what it sounds like. I set a timer for 15 minutes, and I pick things up from places where they don’t belong and throw them in the hamper. So, for example, Holly’s toys and blankets are currently scattered all through the house. If I want to dust, vacuum, and clean, I will walk around the house picking her stuff up and putting it in the hamper, clearing a path for me to do the other things I need to do without worrying about organizing a space for her stuff.
Another example would be my work desk. My work desk is currently covered in everything from my work printouts, bills I need to pay, medical gear like my blood pressure cuff, all my charging cables, multiple books, some of Holly’s toys, and for some unknown reason, four measuring tapes. If I want to dust my desk, I will put everything in a basket, wipe the surface down, then pick out the things that belong on my desk. Like the printouts and the bills. My desk is now, in less than 15 minutes, dust-free and organized. But Joy, you might say, what about the things in the basket? What do I do with those? Easy, keep them in the basket and take them to where they do belong. But what if the space they belong needs cleaned? Rinse and repeat, take your basket to the next space, clear everything into the basket, clean the area, then put back the things that belong. Congrats, you may have just cleared multiple spaces. And if you run out of energy in the interim? That’s okay; it’s better to have things contained in baskets than scattered everywhere across your house. It reduces them down to smaller problems and reduces your visual exhaustion from clutter, making tasks easier for ADHD brains in the long run. (This also works for other types of executive dysfunction. Visual exhaustion is a real problem for brains that are already trying their hardest.)
So, now you’ve got things sorted into manageable piles, what do you do next? You prioritize what is necessary for your space to be safe and sanitary. Cobwebs might be gross looking, but they’re not really an issue compared to, say, actual trash or dirty dishes that might be molding in your space. Remove those things first. Set another 15-minute timer, pick up as much trash as you can, and put it in a trash bag. If the timer runs out and you’re still good to go, set it for another 15-minutes, or keep going until you’re done. I find music helps. I’ve actually tricked my brain into realizing that dishes take me 12 minutes (instead of the literal hours my brain thinks it is), so for me, that’s 3-4 songs from my favorite band. Other people like to watch “clean with me” videos on youtube. They can be quite motivating, sort of like second-hand dopamine from watching people be productive.
Once you’ve sorted one major task, assess how you’re feeling. Are you tired and need to stop? Great! You’ve achieved a lot already; well done. Have a sticker and or reward of choice. Tomorrow you will do another 15 minutes of something else, and slowly but surely, your space should become more manageable and less intimidating.
Think you can do more? Also great! Let’s maybe try to get the dishes next. After that, I’d suggest tackling the cobwebs, then dusting, then sweeping/vacuuming, and then if necessary, mopping the floor. And I don't mean all at once, I just mean in that order, just so you’re not having to go back and dust again.
I try to do 15 minutes of housework every day in this fashion. I also keep a rough schedule on our fridge and tick major tasks as we go. So did I do laundry this week? Yes! Excellent, gold star. No? Okay, well, that gets priority next week. (Still gold star for what I did achieve, though.)
It helps keep things manageable while also not being Too Much for either my ADHD or my physical disabilities. For some people, that 15 minutes is too much, and I would say even doing 5 minutes a day is better than none. Anything you can do to keep your living space safely habitable for both your mental and physical health is good and worthy of praise and pride.
Anyway, I hope some of this helps and wasn’t too long!
Take care and good luck!

✨ mine is Jester’s trickery with the witch Isharnai :p I know it was helped by the dust of deliciousness, but that modify memory spell was CHOICE
GENUINELY AN ICONIC MOMENT.
I think fandom really doesn't give Jester enough credit for her spell choice in general. A lot of people joke about her not healing, but homie, clerics get lots of spells for a reason. Like druids, they're kind of the multi-tool of the DND world.
SO I'm gonna give a little shout out to cure wounds & healing word in this post.
Our girl healed 1844 hit points during the campaign and I loved to see it.

you’re definitely Katara which tracks bc I wanted to be Katara so bad when I was a kid
//rolls up sleeves I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO EXPLAIN SO Katara is a deeply caring person that believes strongly in doing the right thing and taking action, and her end goal is always to help people, with the exception of that time she almost murdered an old dude bc her wrath is too much for her small body, which also suits you I think. but also she’s sweet and likes goofing around when she feels she can actually do that. god I looked up to her so much
that ep where toph n sokka talk abt katara being a lil motherly always got me in the feelings as a child................she’s a very good character n itd be Sweet As to have vibes that nice/chaotic

sodapopmermaid replied to your post “Update 12/21/19 Up in foco, still fucking loopy apparently. But I have...”
oh my god why are you even HERE when you could be paying attention to DOGS rn
If either dog notices me acknowledging the presence of the other, they must wedge themselves between me and the other dog so they reccive MORE attention which given that they’re both +50lbs, I am currently pinned to the couch with electronics in my lap and I might be suffering from “Not Enough Blood Disease” this is less than ideal.
So I must pointedly fail to realize either of them exist while they engage in what I can only assume is psychic warfare until they determine their pecking order (it changes every time) and stop drooling on my forearms.
Eventually they’ll decide which one is The Decision-Making Dog and I can pet both of them at the same time without inciting a barkfest 0.2 inches from my face.
#sodapopmermaid#dogs#charleston chew#arwen#the have complex and intricate rituals#I think Arwen is Decision Dog again this time#last time her knee was still hurting so she allowed charlie to make choices for her#like were sniffing things over here and it's yelling time now#but her knee is on the mend and she's back to being a Bossy Lil Shit

Rules: Answer and tag some people you want to get to know better and/or catch up with!
Thank you @parallelunivrses for the tag :) I always love doing little tag games
Favorite Color: Blue!! Really most any shade of it but right now I’m really feeling cornflower blue. (In general I like most cool colors and I’m very partial to lavender)
Last Song I Listened To: Siren Song by Shayfer James
Last Film I Watched: Mona Lisa Smile, my mom visited me this weekend so we watched it together. It’s been on my list since, like, high school (due to its similar premise to Dead Posts Society) so it’s nice to finally get the time to sit down and watch it!!
Currently Reading: I just reread Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead by Tom Stoppard and picked up Togdog/Underdog by Suzan-Lori Parks, which I’m excited to hopefully read this week/weekend
Currently Craving: Hmmmm I ate a pretty filling dinner (and I’m about to head to bed lol) but I could go for a chocolate concrete mixer from Culvers tbh
Currently Watching: A couple things! I like to have a few different shows going for different vibes/moods. I’m watching Fantasy High Junior year weekly as it’s dropping and also finally caught up mostly with Abbott Elementary season 3. In addition I’m slowly but surely working through Degrassi: Junior High (s3 currently) and rewatching Psych (at s4 now). Finally, I’m keeping up with Survivor as well and this season is just absolutely nuts in terms of interpersonal conflict and drama
Coffee or Tea: In their “proper” form? Neither. I really enjoy bottled peach tea though! Usually my drink of choice in the morning
No pressure tagging: @sodapopmermaid @catrillion @theoreticalli @afoxnamedmulder @twacn @lornrocks @danceintheskies @myopinionisimportant @matsui-sinclair @antifasfleshlight @lavender-ghosting

sodapopmermaid ha respondido a tu publicación: I've never actually seen the musical, but does it...
depends on the production! Sometimes it’s because sonny’s helping pack stuff up, sometimes it’s because he threw them on the ground in a rage at usnavi and usnavi is sort of covering for him
ooohhh this is actually very interesting to know! i’ve only seen the one version of the OBC boot that doesn’t give me motion sickness and i don’t think they address it there, or perhaps i just never noticed, but i love that other productions come up with their own reasons for it

is there a lot of demand for reroll fic? bc ive been writing snippets of a fic for Halloween while listening to it for the first time but I probably won’t publish it if no one is going to read it.
i can’t speak to other people for sure, but I would 100% read it, comment on it, and share it with everyone i can (and i think a decent number of other people would as well)

what book would you recommend a new player start with? I’m downloading the app bc I keep seeing it pop up in the tags, but I don’t know where to start.
Hi there @sodapopmermaid - firstly, welcome to the fandom! I guess it really depends on what sort of story you’d be into - romance, adventure, historical, or horror (there are other genres as well).
For historical settings, A Courtesan of Rome is good, as is Desire and Decorum (D&D is good if you like Regency stories like Pride and Prejudice). For adventure, I highly recommend Endless Summer; horror books include It Lives Beneath and It Lives In the Woods. There’s also murder mystery (Veil of Secrets, The Haunting of Braidwood Manor) and Supernatural/Sci-Fi books like Night Bound, Blood Bound, and Perfect Match.
There are also books/series like America’s Most Eligible (reality show), Platinum (live out your dream to become a famous musician), Bachelorette Party (chaotic Vegas bachelorette), High School Story, LoveHacks (Friends, but in San Francisco instead of NYC), The Freshman/Sophomore/Junior/Senior (college series) and The Elementalists (magic school).
If you’re into romance, The Royal Romance is popular (or at least I think so, since it’s one of my favorite storylines) and its follow-up series, The Royal Heir. Rules of Engagement is an older romance series (and kind of slow in its storytelling style), but there are little hints to The Royal Romance linked within it, if you’re into that. Ride or Die was a surprisingly good book, despite the generic cover art and “bad boy romance” tagline. There’s almost always a romance angle in each book - where you can pursue at least one (if not multiple) Love Interests, or LIs as we like to call them.
It can get expensive to play though, as certain scenes are locked - where you have to spend diamonds for bonus scenes/love scenes, so if you don’t want to spend actual money buying diamond packs, choose a few books to diamond mine - aka tap through quickly because the story isn’t that great, and just collect the diamonds you get for playing each chapter.
Hope that helps! Just poke around the app and check out the stories, there’s bound to be one that grabs your attention!
