6 years 😲That's some seriously good lotion!
This reminds me of something, though it might not be an adhd thing. Sometimes I get really into some snack or food item. So next time I get groceries I make sure I get more, extra, even. I insist on it even if I don’t eat any of it for months.
It puts the lotion on the hands or it gets the hose again
Instructions unclear, slathered hose with lotion.
It's so much more effective slathered on hoes though
Same with exercise. Doing 10 push-ups is easy. I'll do it every day.
Why did you have to remind me so late?
Rookie mistake
It's better to do 3,000 push-ups today and hope it happens again sometime in the next year.
That's why instead of walking every day I went for a 32 mile marathon on Sunday
Oh man, I’ve got my nighttime routine down pat. I eat a couple pieces of fruit, floss, smoke a j with my husband, brush my teeth, wash my face, turn the heat off, and then put on face lotion, lip balm, foot lotion, and hand lotion before getting into bed. Every single night.
Do I ever remember to eat breakfast, wash my face, and brush my teeth in the morning? Maybe once a month.
You should a be careful with eating acidic fruit before cleaning teeth because the acid can slightly soften the teeth and make them vulnerable to damage through
Between brushing and fruit is about an hour. I swear I’ve got my nighttime routine down.
Even things I do regularly im only sorta, kinda, able to keep it going. I have some supplements I take twice a day and that sometimes happens but I almost take them at least once a day. I highly encourage shooting high to get closer to a minimal level of compliance. Oh and this only really works for really easy things.
Try this.
Put your toothbrush, tooth paste, floss, and the moisturizer in one box. If you go to brush your teeth you'll also see the moisturizer.
Oh you want me to NEVER brush my teeth instead of every 1-2 days.
No but seriously, this is an issue. I usually at least use the toilet (because obvious bodily signal) before going to bed which, due to the layout of the bathroom, means I have no choice but to look at the spot where my toothbrush is. I also do have the decency to remember to wash my hands which means even more time spent looking in that direction. I STILL manage to not see the toothbrush and forget to brush. Anything not moving and/or yelling merges with the background noise. *confused T-rex noises*
Tape your toothbrush to your mirror. Or, more seriously, put a post it note on your mirror or your soap (if it’s a liquid soap container).
How is that going to prevent it from merging with the background? As I said, I already look at it and don't see it.
I see what you mean.
Boxes defeat me. It must be in a constantly visible clump.
One trick is to tag it on to the end of an existing routine you do reglarly, ~~like brushing your teeth~~ like after taking your shoes off after coming back from outdoors (that's when I brush my teeth for ex.)
