  • More like meta-advice. Try everything. Even the stupid ones you know won’t work. Then you can start identifying elements that you can adhere to and ones that don’t work.

    If you have loved ones that you’re comfortable opening up to, explain your thought process. Ask about theirs. For instance I hate the notion of “clean” things not being able to get dirty. I look at cleaning as an ongoing process so I don’t do a heavy clean and then avoid the area/item. Occasionally do a bigger clean, but for the most part, just keep up with little things. Explaining that to my wife helped her understand what my mindset was.

    Lastly, try using a remembral. Ever have a thought you wanted to recall in a few minutes but didn’t want to write it down? I have a rubber band on my wrist. If I need to “set a reminder” I’ll loop it over a finger, then repeat the thought or reminder a few times. If I lose track, I’ll definitely feel the rubber band in the awkward position. And since I’ve anchored the reminder with the rubber band, it’s easy to remember.
