It's a common creative person dynamic I think. Not so much a shortcoming as unharnessed talent. I definitely get more projects done these days because I struggle to make decisions and less projects means simpler decisions. (My brain isn't as sharp as it used to be so I need to help it any way I can haha).

(Also I totally didn't spend a whole weekend googling amazing huge craft cupboards that would never fit in my house).

Keeping clothes under control is a big deal imo. Clothes have so many pain and pleasure points that is easy to hold onto our pasts and pretend futures through them.

Clothes plus creativity are my bane. 'One day I'll wear that elegant dress I just need to add a new zip." I've had to limit myself by keeping a project box. If it doesn't fit I need to swop something out or chuck the project away.

Basically Dana K White's container method (https://youtu.be/_24PoIZSmVs) has been my saving grace. I'm now looking for ways to create zones based on function and then limit my 'inventory'. It's a numbers game for me. Less inventory means I function better in my space. And functioning feels so good when it happens well.

Sounds to me like you found a way to function better around work clothes and better is good. Definitely worth a high five in my book !

Shelf stable ingredients in general make life so much easier. Canned pumpkin isn't really available where I am but everytime someone mentions it I want to try it.

The niche subs are for sure my biggest worry. I have interests that would be hard to curate content for and have conversations on if it weren't for all the amazing people of old reddit.

Its made me realise how amazing people are for sure!

I love the idea of mealprep but often don't get round to it.

Mostly I try do a 'one tray roast' with meat and veg (root veg and onions) all on one tray. Then whatever veggies are left go into the soupmaker with extra carrot the next day to make a coconut curry veg soup.

I honestly wish I never had to think about food but I have to feed the kids lol.

I've been struggling with whether to get an autism diagnosis or an adhd one (or to blow the money on therapy instead). I feel like I'm functioning less and less the older I get and sometimes wish a test trial of stimulants could tell me if I had ADHD.

Like if I functioned better on meds then I'd know I'm ADHD. I know it's not a logical wish but I hate all the loopholes and money. I struggle to make medical appointments for anything that is immediately obvious like a wound or rash. Need to get a script ready in my head and hate advocating for myself or the kids to indifferent professionals.
