Do you sometimes or occasionally go to a store? If yes then great. Simple deposit the empty bottle into the bag you take to the store and you’re dandy!
That is a simple trick only millions of people are performing every day
The problem is the previous alternative was popping them in the green bin which our household was already doing. We are doing no more recycling but it’s now a lot of space consumption (squashed bottles or cans are rejected) and more hassle.
Let my ADHD ass introduce you to my bucket of used batteries, and my giant bag of “soft plastics”, both of which require a trip to the store (5 minute walk away) to recycle.
Hey, but at least you got them in a bucket dude, good for you.
People without ADHD cannot physically experience the difficulty in doing what isn’t directly occupying our mind. Anything we accomplish should be celebrated.
Thanks! Yeah, I honestly don’t hold it against anyone for not understanding or appreciating ADHD. I don’t understand it myself most of the time. And before a psychiatrist told me I had it, I didn’t realize how it totally and completely ruled some parts of my life.
Some of the batteries in that bucket must be 10+ years old. The bucket has even moved house with me. Definitely a fire hazard. I go and get groceries every other day, but in 10 years I’ve never remembered to take them. And even when I do remember, I go “I’ll do it next time”!
The ADHD leaving my body when someone says to “simply do it”
Thank you, your patronising suggestion is very helpful and has addressed all my problems. I don’t know why I didn’t think about just doing stuff simply before 🙄
