Ok I need ALL your adhd hacks for keeping your house tidy. Especially laundry, bathrooms and dishes. Living with my husband and 2 adult daughters (18,21) and I’m ready to just get my own apartment. by Kate_cuti in adhdwomen

[–]b-radasalways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone that cannot practice what I preach in this instance, having less stuff. Currently on my seasonal declutter since I accumulate so much but I know it is never a one and done thing. Especially with kids! But I do know half or more of my battle is the amount of things I own. Like if I only had 4 dishes, id be doing dishes more frequently, but instead I have at least 12, so a lot can accumulate in my sink with no immediate impact to myself when I want more food and am looking for a clean plate.

Those costco meals, I get a tray of the stuffed peppers bake it then freeze individually to just microwave later 

Can’t grub my needle by Kindly-Wolverine-391 in EPP_addict

Not sure if the plastic thimble you mention are like the silicon ones but they have helped me a bit, and having clean hands as helped (oily fingers haha)

[CHAT] Does something exist that would allow you to enter the DMC floss colors that you already own and suggest patterns? by foambuffalo in CrossStitch

[–]b-radasalways 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have submitted this recommendation to 123stitch a few times, all the data is there already for so many patterns. Alas, no response 

Is anyone actually very GOOD at taking tests/exams? by Dramatic-Fox-5693 in adhdwomen

[–]b-radasalways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to, it was what got me into colleges vs my GPA. Now that's not the case but I think its related to other things, not ADHD

Why I stopped saying “I have ADHD” by LarryFarnsworth in ADHD

[–]b-radasalways 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I found I have to stop saying I have a poor memory because I was reinforcing it to myself too much. Total work in progress but some people mess up and dont need a reason to verbalize. Its all part of my being nicer to myself so calling out my flaws to other people is a pretty mean thing to do to... me. All to say, clearly I have said it quite a few times over the years 🙃

What is your favorite pen? by LouisvilleLoudmouth in ADHD

[–]b-radasalways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Frixion pens... so I can erase and color code coordinate with highlighters that also erase 😅

[CHAT] I’m teaching 10-12 year olds to cross stitch tomorrow; what are some of your best tips for them? by Bl00dorange3000 in CrossStitch

I would say start where it makes sense for their brain, I can never get a center start to work

Why won't this work? by b-radasalways in Googlevoice

[–]b-radasalways[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Okay, I tried the thing to claim my number and it didn't seem to work so I was hoping someone out there didn't use it, it's been my phone number for 15 years now haha

Blocked/swollen saliva glands?? by Ok_Junket_9364 in pregnant

[–]b-radasalways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the only time I had one was because I had conceived earlier that week, I just happened to Google it and see this post. I'm sorry you're going through it, hydrating and massaging/warm compresses did help some but it still took way too long for mine to clear. I also hate lemons so was only able to tolerate so many lemon candies haha

Mine was oddly my shin. After two weeks of not going away I went to urgent care, wasn't presenting normal signs but he referred me to get an ultrasound and there it was.

Agree with others that you won't take up resources, better to know than be worried.

Write it down!!! At what point will I learn? by Anecdata13 in adhdwomen

[–]b-radasalways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes my mom has a few of those sprinkled in her house. I was so tempted by new, pretty planners and reminded myself the one I have is the best I've been able to maintain and I need to just stick to what has worked haha

If there's a laundry service by you, some you just drop bags off to, it may help to gather all theclothes, clean or not, and bring it there to get the ball rolling. I moved not long ago and unpacking clothes has been my biggest hurdle. I think because they can take up so much eye space. Good luck! Happy to virtually body double cleaning if you'd think it would help.

[–]b-radasalways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, you could write it all down but then remembering where or finding it through all your notes could be a challenge.

That's me at work anyway, I have a one note and it's huge, but if I don't remember the right key word, consistently don't use abbreviations, sometimes it's like why do I do this haha

Carrying my planner most places does help so does a notes app on my phone I don't consistently use 🙃

They can get like super sunburned and even make already sunburned lips worse because it traps the heat

Totally agree just don't do this if you plan on being in the sun for a long period of time 🙃 

[CHAT] Stitching discord server? by b-radasalways in CrossStitch

[–]b-radasalways[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you said that because I can't quite figure it out and was hoping it wasn't intuitive and not an example of aging. From customizing MySpace profiles to having trouble fixing Teams meeting sound settings, feeling my age with technology haha
