Bill Taroli :neurodiversity:<p>I’ve recently had to push through my stuff to tackle clutter at home. Simple things like having visitors, or getting tired of putting them off, calls my attention to my challenges. For me I think the ultimate issue is that the idea of having to potentially interact with others while I’m decluttering causes anxiety and derails me. So instead I do it in the middle of the night, like grocery shopping.</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>actuallyautistic</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyadhd" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>actuallyadhd</span></a></span> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/AuDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AuDHD</span></a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/PDA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PDA</span></a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/clutter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>clutter</span></a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/SocialAnxiety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SocialAnxiety</span></a></p>

Shantell Powell<p>This is where the magic happens. My writing space is appalling, but it works. My desk is stacked with writing notes, unwrapped Christmas presents, books, jewellery, snacks, meds, supplements, stationery, art supplies, computers, and weird witchy stuff like candles, bones, feathers, wasp paper, perfume oils, and pieces of trees. And yes, that is Baba Yaga's hut up there, just below the deer skull. I made that hut for a stop motion project several years ago. It needs some minor repair work. I'll get to it sometime. Maybe. </p><p>I only burn the candles when my workspace is neat and tidy.

*sparkling anxiety* Evelyn<p>My poor cat decided to leap from the back of my chair onto a table that's piled unreasonably high with clutter. When her forefeet touched the clutter pile, they caused an avalanche; and the cat started to fall. I'd been petting her and so my hands were right there, & I tried and succeeded in catching her and holding onto her.<br>But that meant she couldn't jump out of the way of the falling papers & half-finished crochet projects and fortunately only one book. She wasn't harmed at all, but she was scared; & I think I should have just let her jump out of the way on her own - she's a *cat*, after all. And so I feel guilty as hell.</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/cats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cats</span></a> <br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/clutter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>clutter</span></a> <br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/guilt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>guilt</span></a> <br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/JustVenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JustVenting</span></a></p>

Swede’s Photographs<p>Good morning, friends. 💮☕ ⌨️ </p><p>30 April 2024</p><p>My office is a mess, it looks like something out of a movie with an absent-minded professor as a character. There are cameras, old computers, and computer parts scattered everywhere. There are papers that I need to file or take some kind of action on. I have so many books in here that I've run out of space in my bookcase, and they are starting to pile up on the side of the bookcase. I tell myself to take a day and straighten it up, but it just goes on my list of things to do tomorrow because tomorrow is the perfect day to get things done. One thing that gets done, is the office gets vacuumed regularly - I have a Roomba 😂.</p><p>“Out of clutter, find simplicity.”<br>- Albert Einstein</p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photo</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photographer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photographer</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photographylovers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photographylovers</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nature</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/morning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>morning</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/clutter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>clutter</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/flower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>flower</span></a></p>
AI6YR Ben<p>Decluttering activity of the evening: threw all the philosophy books I had in the book donation pile. Why do I have a giant pile of philosophy books?
