my room is "clean" but my personal adhd clean where i put something somewhere because im a genius thatll remember it and then i look where it should be and its not there and im like well shit i guess its gone until i stumble upon it right where i needed it.

not until after i spend 30 minutes looking not where i needed it.

sometimes i completely clean my space and then ill stop thinking about it and kinda go about my day and suddenly 4 different unrelated activities are on my desk.

i just watched memento for a class and i kinda feel like the guy in memento except to a much much lesser degree

When it comes to resources if I look somewhere and don't find it then I'll be sure to place it where I first looked on cleanup.

It usually amounts to a chaotic system with only a marginal amount of sorting but it's all out of sight most importantly.

The visual noise of things everywhere is maddening.
