Ridiculous Yet Effective Ways To Deal With Executive Dysfunction

Ridiculous yet effective ways to deal with Executive Dysfunction

Dealing with executive dysfunction and ADHD becomes so much easier when you stop trying to do things the way you feel like you should be able to do them (like everyone else) and start finding ways that actually work for you, no matter how “silly” or “unnecessary” they seem.

For years my floor was constantly covered in laundry. Clean laundry got mixed in with dirty and I had to wash things twice, just making more work for myself. Now I just have 3 laundry bins: dirty (wash it later), clean (put it away later), and mystery (figure it out later). Sure, theoretically I could sort my clothes into dirty or clean as soon as I take them off and put them away straight out of the dryer, but realistically that’s never going to be a sustainable strategy for me.

How many garbage bins do you need in a bedroom? One? WRONG! The correct answer is one within arms reach at all times. Which for me is three. Because am I really going to get up to blow my nose when I’m hyperfocusing? NO. In allergy season I even have an empty kleenex box for “used tissues I can use again.” Kinda gross? Yeah. But less gross than a snowy winter landscape of dusty germs on my desk.

I used to be late all the time because I couldn’t find my house key. But it costs $2.50 and 3 minutes to copy a key, so now there’s one in my backpack, my purse, my gym bag, my wallet, my desk, and hanging on my door. Problem solved.

I’m like a ninja for getting pout the door past reminder notes without noticing. If I really don’t want to forget something, I make a physical barrier in front of my door. A sticky note is a lot easier to walk past than a two foot high cardboard box with my wallet on top of it.

Executive dysfunction is always going to cause challenges, but often half the struggle is trying to cope by pretending not to have executive dysfunction, instead of finding actual solutions.

Uzi Doorman you are everything

I love Vizzy but I just find THIS

so incredibly sad. As much as V likes Lizzy, she’ll never really be as important as N is to her. Nothing will ever matter more to V than her life with N and I think Lizzy knows that.

SMG4 "Who knew you could play an antagonist so well!"

SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER

As I watched a new episode, I thought of something

Smg4 is still antagonist after IGBP and PUZZLEVISION ?

Well yes and no?

Let me explain some

SMG4 "Who Knew You Could *play* An Antagonist So Well!"

Smg4 stop think of his friend, he think about that his friend only ruined some batch

Bob is being hurt (or he doesn'tknow how to swim)

And smg3 is saying to smg4 do something about that because he is angry and worrying

[In the book, Wilivonka, Wonka does the same thing, but that’s because he didn’t want to take disobedient children to the factory]

Smg3 give smg4 compliment for make some strange leggy creatures make his work for free..

Uhh, i remember some time when smg4 torture toads for work and uh.. this scene just show that

past villain/antagonist complimented smg4 for what he did do...basically just show us some hm bad stuff going on

YOU DONT HAVE CHOICE

YOU DO ALL MY WORK

WE MAKE OTHER PEOPLE INFECTED BY MEME ENERGY MORE

It's not a good thing! He want not only a people visit his place, but infect them more like meggy and others!

He also, I think, tried to manipulate Mario by his meme power, grabbing his hand.

Mario was terrified by SMG4

Maybe actually he wanted not Mario to be the winner but a smg3?

Because his reaction to all eliminated friends makes me guess that his offer is actually supposed to be for smg3? Well, because they guard or something.

Not really shure, just a theory.

High marks from

Mr Puzzle, of course

Who appeared in this episode, of course, where smg4 is acting strange again and aggressive
