And also, after you've done a big clean say "oh sorry about the mess"

I'm glad it's helping! My doc said I could get tested, but it'd cost about $1000 and so I'm resigned to just dealing with it for now.

Adhd is such a struggle because it has huge impacts in every area of ones life yet its almost never taken seriously. I had a few teachers growing up suggest I get tested but my mom was weirdly against it for whatever reason. I didn’t get diagnosed until last year at 20 years old, medication is going okay, its not perfect but at the very least it has almost cured my crippling anxiety that resulted from 20 years of trying to be normal and failing :)

I suspect I have undiagnosed ADHD, but my doctor didn't take it seriously when I brought it up. Prescribed me some meds, but they were priced way outside what I could afford. Best I can do in my house is mildly controlled chaos.

I suspect my parents both have undiagnosed adhd, our house was rarely clean growing up, its a foreign concept to me

Unfortunately not. I legitimately can't understand how my mom kept a clean house when I was growing up.

Judging by the negative comments I think the real LPT is: don’t be disabled, don’t have children, don’t have a busy life. Everything’s easier that way and your house can be clean enough for random internet strangers to approve of you! Really though, I would be happy to turn my ADHD off so I could manage life and having a clean house 24/7. Unfortunately life just doesn’t work that way for some of us

To all the negative comments, if you keep your house clean 24/7 GOOD FOR YOU (although I don’t believe you’ve never had to scramble to tidy up before a guest comes over) but many of us can’t for one reason or another. Mental health, having children (or pets), physical disabilities, busy schedules, etc can make it almost impossible for some of us to keep our houses clean all the time. Personally Im a university student with adhd, two cats, and an adhd partner, our house is almost never perfectly clean and thats OKAY there’s no need to talk down to people who may be struggling a little, you’re not better than someone just because your house is cleaner than theirs. If you think this post is stupid than its not for you so keep scrolling. OP Im sorry people are so rude, I for one appreciated this tip.

Well, I guess it's time for me to finally upgrade from my trusty VCR with the 3-pronged AV cables.

It’s mainly for the current gen consoles that they cheaped out on making quality hdmi ports for since they break all the time.

Aren't TVs made to be replaced every few years now? (It's been 15-16 yrs since I replaced mine, but I've been looking. They're crazy cheap now, but I can't imagine they outlast their HDMI ports.)

There are people on this website who don't know you need to scrub your legs, I think we'd have to dumb it way further down to get to "too basic to be useful" territory

To be fair, they’re actually saying to clean your house whether you have friends coming over or not

Anytime you feel the urge to pee, start walking towards a toilet. Then, if you have to go, you’re already at the toilet. If you don’t, at least you’ll feel good that you know how to find a toilet.

Not quite. LPT: if you have friends, clean your place. Otherwise just wallow in despair.

Not always true or correct.
You also have several LPTs mashed together that have nothing to do with each other.
