In my last post, I talked about the challenges of staying organized with a disability. It took a different direction than I expected, but that’s okay! Now, I want to focus on the physical items that can help someone get organized with minimal assistance, especially if they’re moving out for the first time. ### Electronic Tools If the person has a smartphone, using a calendar app for appointments, work, or volunteering commitments is a great start. However, phones can be hacked or fail to charge, so having a physical calendar or diary as a backup is essential. These can often be found at newsagents or even given out as Christmas gifts by local pharmacies. I’m also assuming that the person has basic stationery like pens and pencils to write things down. However, in support work, never assume that the person has what they need—always ask to ensure they have the necessary tools. ### Cleaning Essentials For maintaining a clean living space, here are the basics: - **Laundry**: Laundry powder...

I naturally struggle with organization, but living in supported living in Australia and attempting to live independently (despite not fully succeeding) has taught me the importance of being organized. Some people have the advantage of parents or caregivers who emphasize the significance of organization alongside education, which certainly helps. I’ve discussed the challenges that come with having a disability and trying to stay organized on my YouTube channel, and I believe there are several factors everyone should consider. Now that I have clearance from my GP (primary care doctor) to look for part-time paid work, I realize there are skills and general health considerations I need to work on. Some of these are innate, stemming from my family background, but the most important thing is establishing a routine. Routines offer stability, especially for those with psychosocial disabilities, and having well-trained, consistent staff is crucial, though this will look different for everyone. ...

  This post is on the back of a few Netflix specials that I have watched and I am starting to transition to less chemicals and preservatives in my life so this requires a little more organization than I was expecting but organization as I am learning isn’t a one off it is a process and I am also learning that for me being blessed to have access to support workers ( care givers to the USA readers) I am then able to ask them for help.   But one of the things that I am realizing is that natural doesn’t equal safe all the time I am watching, unwell about the wellness industry and we need to be able to think critically about this industry as if you put industry after a word you need to ask what are they selling and for me, I am an amazon associate and I am honest about it as well but I do state that I am not a medical professional and to check   if it’s ok for you. But I am starting to go over to natural washing up and cleaning tools as I am going though my existing stas...

    So last night I watched the Netflix documentary Poisoned and I think I need to start out by saying something really important. I am located in Australia and we don’t have the food production monopolies and lobbyists that the USA does but it got me thinking on another random tangent, that is cleaning, don’t get me wrong we need to be on top of where our food comes from and I am going to start making major changes in my life around my diet and start making some documentation around it as I know diet is a major player in having auto immune diseases go into essential remission, before having to go onto very heavy medications that are used in cancer. But I as I do went down an adjacent rabbit hole and still haven’t reached the proverbial warren, that is food safety at home and adjacent to that cleaning as you can have a tidy home that is not clean and I know, as I have been that person and I admit we all get busy and we all need to work and families can’t have one person at h...
