Executive function and our Adhd buddy that lives within.

After I got my diagnosis and then also finding out I have adhd, this gets me into the cool club of AuDhd. Where our special interests battle for the light in the squirrelverse.

I do want to be the best I can and succeed in the important things in my life so I have made small changes here and there.  

For instance I have many hobbies as some do, I give myself access to those hobbies and availability to change from one to another at any time.  I have my keyboards setup and out beside my desk for making music,  I have breadboard prototyping boards on a small shelf ready to do programming and Arduino work with a few led panels for playing with lights mounted to my desk.  In my laboratory I have my 3d printer setup but closed out of the environment, My electronic test equipment setup and ready to go on the table, a toolbox organized with labels that I dont have to remember where the pliers are or my labeler, my homebrewing equipment all stored neatly in a corner ready to make beer (that one has been a while), airtools by the air compressor etc.  I 3d printed holders for my razer and grooming tools under my bathroom mirror, some razer holders for the shower, got rid of many tools that have never seen the light of day in ages but have fulfilled their needs (donated to goodwill).  

 

Bottom line, i just make it easier to do things that I do most often.  Pens where I have to fill out papers, different types of equipment together and accessible based on their usage.  A while back I also read Marie Kondo's book about decluttering.  I see folks that have to rummage through piles to find things, who has that kind of time.  And I started small and keep working at organizing my space for ultimate function for me and brain.
