When I got out of college in 2015, I packed my suitcase; a month ago, I unpacked it while getting reday to move (I moved 5 other times in between without ever unpacking it, or packing anything new it).
Yes, my very neurotypical wife can do that.
While my hyperactivity push me to unpack immediately.
I just constantly forget about important things. But when I see problem I solve it immediately, even when I shouldn't.
I have boxes of stuff from three moves ago, I finally unpacked them. Now I have two or three of almost every kitchen utensil. I'll sort them out into a box for getting rid of, soon... I suspect the "soon" will take a long time, and that the discard-box might just become a repeat of the prior cycle.

Realistic but the key to emptying the suitcase is using the clothing it holds.

Then they eventually make their way to their true natural home; the dryer.

2 weeks ? Those are rookie numbers, I still have my tuxedo hanging on the coat rack in my hall, from a wedding I went to in june... 2024
I'd put it back in my dressing room, but I have another wedding in october so...

Dressing room?
Is this a joke im too plebe to understand?

It's a 3m² hallway next to my bedroom that I turned into a "dressing room", nothing fancy, made the rack and shelves myself

When the cats pee in it it’s time to move it out of the hall and to the bedroom

Needs a clip of them foraging for clean undies in it without putting anything else away.

Yes, but that is literally everyone.

I love immediately unpacking. Makes me feel at home ^^ but I’m weird
BenLeMan@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y
I can't stand the clutter. There's enough of that in my brain already so I always unpack fairly quickly.

Neurotypical, can't relate. Put your shit away.

ADHD, can't relate. I'll put my shit away within first hour after moving in.

That reminds me, I should probably unpack soon...

Sounds like it might be time to get rid of some stuff

I had a similar story which I relayed to my boss once.
He said "at that point it just sounds like storage."

Me and my wife still haven't unpacked fully from moving. We just signed our first lease renewal and will have been living here a year in November.

OK, this one hit home a little to close for comfort
mittyta@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y
Absolutely don't understand how it's related to ADHD

Have you ever seen a neurotypical person actively see and step over a problem/task for multiple weeks and not do it? And like, fairly often?
ragas@lemmy.ml · 5 pts · 1y
Yes

(I'm sure there is a specific mechanism that explains it but I'm to tired to figure it out rn)

Report it to a moderator, then they can yank it.

Too real tbh

Wouldn't adhd be starting the task repeatedly, picking up 1 piece, then moving on to something else?

I need more rooms to store my trash in.

I dump out the content of my luggage on the floor when I arrive home. Then it’s easy to clean it up piece by piece, sort into heaps and such.
