Tips that I wish I knew sooner
Leave everything you can open. Examples: I always leave my jewelry box open, I take all individual wrapped items and throw the box away, I put all my fresh produce in the sauce section of the fridge, essentials like keys and wallets are left in a dish by the door.
Pair tasks you don’t remember with essential task; I always forget to take my meds so I put it next to the cat food and take it when I feed the cat, I brush my teeth on the toilet ( trust me it works!), can never remember if I leave the stove on before leaving the house so I charge my AirPods near it and only grab em after checking the stove.
Create a chain of events from an essential tasks or breaks things down into smaller pieces; [peeing before bed -> brushing teeth, and I’m already here so might as well wash my face -> face is washed might as well do skin care etc…], [I should go see if laundry is done -> I’m already here so I should take it out of the machine -> folding etc…].
Sometimes u just need to inconvenience your self; putting laundry on the bed, spilling something on the ground to make ur mop (weird but also works), setting alarms and putting ur phone across the room.
Pair things you like doing with things you don’t/like wouldn’t do; doom scrolling while walking on the treadmill, tv while doing laundry etc…
And most importantly don’t be too hard on urself. Sometimes you just gotta take a nap on the pile of laundry on your bed. The kinder you are to urself the kinder it’ll be to you.
Also sorry for if this was super hard to follow, it’s currently very early!
