ADHDeanAnybody else do this when away from home? I can’t carry my “home base” box with me, so I line my stuff up all together. ADHD external structure coping mechanism.
stephen@adhdeanasl is "ADHD external structure coping mechanism" a fancy way of saying paranoid I will leave something behind? I don't line my things up quite so neatly. When travelling, especially at a conference, I empty all my pockets including laptop bag or backpack and sort it all.
@dmaonR More like “have lost every imperative item at least once and have developed an ironclad system of never letting that happen again.” So yeah, maybe paranoid. If I put something down where it doesn’t belong, it’s gone forever. So every time I enter a hotel room, I pick a spot and make that The Place Where My Stuff Goes. Jen knows to put her stuff anywhere but The Place Where My Stuff Goes. It is sacrosanct.
