Them: You should make sure everything has a fixed place and is visible so your ADHD brain doesn& #39;t lose track of important items!

Me: I own a cat, motherfuckers.

My fixed place for important items will include, at any given point of the day:

- the living room floor
- the kitchen floor
- behind my desk on the floor
- behind the bookcase on the floor
- under the bed on the floor
- under the sofa (also, sing it with me! on the floor)

So my ADHD coping strategy for finding important shit starts with:
- Try to remember if there was a suspicious skittering noise behind me recently
- If yes, check the floor.
- If no, check the floor anyway.

One reason a morning routine is hard is because it always has to include both "I& #39;ll put this here so I won& #39;t forget (and then promptly forgetting)" and "has my cat hockeyed shit under the sofa again during the night".

This thread brought to you by the fact that I can& #39;t find my deodorant. It has a place. It lives on the desk or

you guessed it!

The floor.
