Jesse Meadows:

"In the ADHD corner of the internet, this practice is called Didn’t Organize, Only Moved. Or: DOOM piles.
...
My compost pile is a DOOM pile, too, one that thrives without any top-down organization at all. Of course, there are neat, tidy ways of composting, but I have way too much chronic fatigue to regularly turn my pile, so I never do. Mostly, I dump my scraps and ignore her for weeks at a time.
...
The space where my compost sits started as an empty patch of dirt; it’s now the most verdant section of my garden, with the healthiest, bushiest plants. But I never look at that dirt-patch-turned-flowers and think, I did that.

I didn’t organize, only moved — the pile did the rest. She is a powerful monster — an organism made of a billion other organisms, like me — and turning my pile into flowers is a collaborative project. Not executive functioning, but ecological"
