Waking up? Inertia. Takes five alarms.

Getting up from bed? Inertia. Takes half an hour.

Making the bed? Inertia. 2 days out of 7.

And on and on it goes.

How do I become one of them “up and at em” types? A real go getter bucko?

      Especially someone with executive dysfunction. My favorite adjustment of the last six months has been getting rid of my dresser. I was getting dressed in my laundry room because that’s where my unfolded baskets of clean clothes are. Now, I have a shelf full of clear bins that I can reach from a sitting position. It goes right next to the dryer. When the clothes are dry, I pull them out and toss them in the bins based on clothing type. Boom. Within a month my lifetime struggle with laundry was done. I’d go downstairs to get dressed. Dirty clothes went directly next to the washer. Clean clothes were ready for me.

        Very nice.

        It sounds like you might also subscribe to my theory that every item of clothing you own, beyond what you’re currently wearing, exists exclusively for the purpose of postponing laundry day.

          This all follows me actually getting invested in my clothing for the first time in my life. So I have a bunch of stuff that delays laundry day. And then I have a couple cute little outfits

          You mean I'm not supposed to cycle through somewhere between three and five pairs of pants like a cartoon character with the same clothes every episode?

      Because dust falls on it. So if you dont cover your sheets you will have to wash them that much more.
