a lot of people think executive dysfunction just means procrastinating with homework or other school/work related things, so here is a list of simple things that are unnecessarily difficult/energy consuming for me bc of executive dysfunction:
- brushing my teeth
- putting something back in its drawer
- actually untying my shoes to take them off/put them back on (I just stuff hold the back of my shoe so it doesn’t get crushed then shove my foot in)
- recycling instead of tossing something in the trash
- taking out the trash
- standing up from my desk chair to do something else
- stapling a paper
- refilling my water bottle
- ordering at a fast food restaurant
- laundry in general
- sharpening pencils instead of switching to a different one
- getting up from bed to use the bathroom in the middle of the night
- returning library books vs continually renewing them
- logging into websites when my username or password aren’t saved
