As someone who sees all of the individual blocks and takes great satisfaction in clicking each individual block into place, this diagram is pretty great... and is one more tool in the toolkit of helping me understand how some of my other friends' fascinating brains work differently than mine.

(It's not enough just to have neurodiverse friends; it's important to keep their perspectives and such on your mind)

@deviantollam There's also a depth-first versus breadth-first approach to chores, where any attempt to do one thing becomes an extreme exercise in Yak shaving due to other connected tasks. (For example starting to do the dishes leads to doing some plumbing but the dishes still aren't clean at the end of the day.)

@nowster @deviantollam oh I hate that. Or start with "clean X room" and then either:
A) Ahhhhh! Too many things need done here. *Flails and does none of them, but also does nothing else because I have to clean this room, specifically*
Or
B) ok let's start with taking care of the kids toys. No, no, I can't just throw them in the box. *Proceeds to dump all toy boxes to try to get toy parts together, rooms end up WORSE than before I started.
