organize my supplies: pull everything out sort, play with stuff, go to store for organizing bins and maybe order new craft supplies, label, get tired, and leave almost everything in piles for weeks. Oh, and feel guilty every single time I walk by the piles, but be completely unable to do anything about them.
Yeah, I know it's gross. But that's me, the gross coffee drinker.
Title is from Who Framed Roger Rabbit as is the image in the meme. Meme reads, "You mean you could've done it at any time?!" ADHD replies, "Not at any time, only when it was INTERESTING or URGENT."
Meme reads, "ADHD in normal circumstances: 'I have no idea what's happening and I am grossly underprepared for everything and falling apart, pls send help' ADHD in times of CRISIS: (smiling emoji wearing sunglasses) I have been training for this moment my entire life. Stand back, weaklings, I've got this covered."
The man was interviewed later and was a good sport about all of the attention the photos were receiving.
"Rule" refers to the 196 community's rule that if you stop in, you must make a post before you leave. People post totally random things that are often quite funny and they put the word "rule" in the title. Sometimes that's all they put in the title.

Thinking about how I've been lied to as an #ADHD person about what habits are.
That apparently is not what neurotypical folks get to experience.
Habits are things that they do without thinking.
They don't have to decide to do them. They don't have to remember to do them. Things just happen, automatically, because they've done them enough for that system to engage and make them automatic.
That system...which I lack.
Every single time I have brushed my teeth, it's been an active choice. I've had to devote thought and attention to it. It's not a routine, it's not a habit, it's something that I know is good to do, and hopefully I can remember to do it.
Every single time I exercise, or floss, or pay my rent, or drink water, or say "bless you" when someone sneezes,
It's because I've had to actively and consciously engage the protocol.
It never gets easier.
Just more familiar.
It's part of my struggle with my weight--exercise never becomes a habit, and every single time I do it, it is exactly as hard as the first time. It takes exactly as much willpower & thought.
I got lied to about how it would just "turn into a habit". And blamed, when it didn't.
Drinking water isn't a habit. Feeding myself isn't a habit. Bathing isn't a habit.
I spend so much more energy, so much more time, so much more labor on just managing to maintain my fucking meat suit.
And now you want me to ALSO do taxes?
ON TIME?
Nothing too fancy. Kettle and a french press.
