Does anyone else struggle with organizing things? Paper is a trap for me. Clothes overwhelm me. Executive function problems. But I love to organize digital things, thoughts, structure, concepts.

I’ve always been afraid to discuss this with people, my notes for class are absolute horse shit. Like the thing that makes me remember is the act of writing something down, and the fact is, I have an incredible incredible memory because I’ve been training it to force memorize things since the second I was born cuz I couldn’t write anything down and find it later. Studying for finals, means just reading hundreds of pages of the textbook.

Same. I have to write things down. But then I get lost in the papers. I’ve been writing things on my iPad with the Pencil and it helps so much!
