37. ADHD & clothing: simplifying your wardrobe to reduce decision fatigue
Description
Hi bestiesssss
This week Tara will apparently do anything for a Dorset accent and Grace is asking for advice on whether she needs new beauty products, however the only answer she will accept is a resounding and supportive yes. We have a lot of fun introducing our new segment π« RSD corner π« where an RSD shared is an RSD halved.
A lovely listener sent us an email with some recommendations including:Β
We discuss ADHD stimming (self stimulatory behaviour), self soothing with ADHD and pharmacogenomic testing a type of genetic analysis that looks at an individual's DNA to predict how they will respond to certain medications and potential side effects or a particular dosage.
β¨ RECS:
Tara: (pre-rec*) Kiss Impress press on nailsΒ π
Grace: Vista HD wall Projector π½οΈ
π DILEMMA OF THE WEEK: Karen asks "I feel like I use up so much mental energy choosing clothes every day and I need your help with organization and gamification"
We LOVE this question, and cover:
βοΈ Shortcuts for choosing outfits easily
βοΈ Apps for styling and cataloguing outfitsΒ
βοΈ Photo guides for daily outfit inspiration
βοΈ Demand avoidance around outfit choices
βοΈ Balancing comfort, style, and personality in clothing
βοΈ Style versus fashion: Whatβs the difference?
βοΈ Creating a βuniformβ for different occasions (casual, corporate, special events)
βοΈ Allison Bornsteinβs 3-word method for describing your style (practical, aspirational, emotional)
βοΈ Why seasonal wardrobes & de-cluttering are essential for ADHD/AuDHD brains
βοΈ Organizing wardrobes in a way that's neuro-affirming for ND brains
Ireggy Seggy: The dreaded PIG in the middle, where in true ADHD fashion Grace forgets what game weβre playing and zones out (weβre so sorry guys) then tells Tara she's fired from the podcast when the dysregulation catches up with her π«
Don't forget to: SEND US YOUR 3 WORDS TO DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE!
Love youuu and don't RSD!
