I just saw a rad thread about making your house's organization work for you/your nuerodiversity, and was like YEAH!!!! At all of it, buy also saw that it was like "things don't need to be labelled like insta home organization" and wanted to talk about labelling a sec
Insta style home org generally icks me out and isn't what this is abt. I'm sure it's useful to the rich folks it serves, but for the rest of us, I just wanted to note that like I'm autistic and I label everything. Everything. It helps me to remember stuff. But not like those pics
I don't really label boxes unless I genuinely think I'll need help remembering what's inside them, or they look really similar. Instead, I'll label light switches. Like "this one" or "closet"
If I don't label those switches, I'll definitely hit the wrong ones first every time. I've done this for years. With a label, I do it on the first try. So random stuff in my house gets labelled.
I also use my label maker to write myself other instructions, like my weekly face care order. That's on my bathroom mirror. That way I don't have to remember it. I can just autopilot through ablutions. Same with meds.
I'm sure not every roommate would love having their house covered in messages, but it works for me, and the temporary nature of it is useful.
A good functionality.
A good functionality.
So idk! If you're like me and need the extra memory help from time to time, labels might be a good idea. Just employed a bit different than one typically encounters in those home org snaps
