• Some years back I got sucked into the “My executive dysfunction won’t let me do the dishes so I can’t cook” loop and ended up spending some 25k in door dash that year.

    I’ve since uninstalled the app, I can’t be trusted. Now I recognize that paper plates can be a disability tool and if I’m having a rough day and can’t handle cooking I just air fry some tofu and call it a day.

      Now I recognize that paper plates can be a disability tool and if I’m having a rough day and can’t handle cooking I just air fry some tofu and call it a day.

      This 100%. When I’m caught up on dishes I use regular stuff. But if I’m having trouble moving and the dishes are piling up, time for paper and plastic

      • My environmentally conscious side kept me from using paper or plastic for years until I realized I was doing more damage having delivery in take out 4 nights a week.

        Now that I have the OPTION to use paper plates and plasticware it has been significantly easier to make the CHOICE to wash dishes and cook my own food.
