Current example: I’m tidying my home for a sleepover guest and my dining table has all of the hand tools from the garage and wherever else I had tucked them away. I’m cleaning them, removing rust, oiling them to prevent future rusting, and organizing them. They weren’t on the table two days ago, but IT HAD TO BE DONE.

I feel driven to put off one thing that must be done–has to be done–in favor of something that has zero urgency at all.

I know that’s a thing, so if you do that too, let’s share.

I think it’s helpful because the more I learn about what I have in common with other ADHDers, the more patience I give myself. I’d like others to learn to give themselves a break too.

    Guilty as charged, but I also need to clean my tools come fall and try to repair a garden hoe which I’m gonna be obsessing over to hopefully make it look good

    Oh the pre-sleepover cleaning binge, i’m sweating just thinking about it. You can do this!
