  I’ve become over time what I think of as a “functioning” person. Instead of doodling which can be distracting for others I have this set of magnets that I can constantly flip inside and out in different ways, I highly recommend giving them a try. Anything small that’s not distracting to others, doesn’t need to be looked at while using, and can be kept in your hand/pocket is helpful.

  I like to invite a buddy over for beers so I have someone to chat with while I tackle my dish mountain. Way better than doing them alone. >
  
  This is called "body doubling" in the ADHD world, it's a very effective tool for getting chores done. I have 1 friend who's allowed to see my messy house and it'll get pretty clean by time she leaves.
  Edit: people in general can benefit from this, it's just particularly useful for those who struggle to do  chores/other tasks for whatever reason >
  
  Is this why I study/work wayyy more efficiently when I'm around other people? I wish I learned this term years ago >
  
  The simple way I understand my ADHD & GAD is the Buddhist term “Monkey Mind.” I have an overactive one, so some type of stimulation to keep me present, helps the other part of my brain focus. In school I always could listen better if I was doodling. >
  
  I too could listen better if I was doodling. Teachers never understood that and forced me to sit straight and stare at the board. 
  Now I have a office job and during meetings I still doodle the fuck out of things. I don't even care what somebody thinks of me anymore. They may fire me one day soon. I'm already mentally prepared for it. Maybe I'll sue them for discriminating me for my ADD or something. 
  Fuck people.
