Neurodiversity Laundry Cycles

Neurodiversity and....Laundry If I ran the world, laundry machines would be located on the floor of the house where you generate the most laundry.  This whole carrying laundry up and down flights of stairs is just inefficient.  Laundry is the bane of my existence.  (BUT I LOVE FOLDING LAUNDRY!) I struggle with laundry. I'm not the only one who struggles with laundry.  Here's some strategies I've used before to tackle laundry: The monthly laundromat bender: *note this requires purchasing enough underwear, socks, and clothes to go 6 weeks. Before I was married, I didn't even own a washer or dryer.  I went to the laundromat once a month, loaded up an audiobook, plugged in my headphones and went to town. I had it down to a science. I knew how to spread my laundry out in multiple washers and dryers so in about 4 hours total including...putting my clothes away at home (gasp), I was DONE with laundry for a MONTH. I loved this system. I literally never stopped moving......

Taking notes on index cards

One of my best note taking tips: Index Cards It seems so simple​!  I keep a resource list that is numbered and the source is written on my resource list (I keep this on a piece of paper in the box i store my index cards)  I use a code system and write a number in the upper right hand corner corresponding to the resource number so its quick and easy. I use one index card for each note or thought.  So if I'm listening to a podcast and there are several great ideas/thoughts, I add it to my resource list, then jot each note or thought on an index card, then add it to my resource box. Why I do it:  Long pages of notes can be cumbersome and often get lost in the shuffle. Index cards are sortable When I need inspiration, I sort thru the cards.  Generally if I write it down, I can find it later.  I will generally remember where I heard or read the note and can eliminate the other options based on the resource number.
