2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.

For me automating the things that cluttered my brain helped. Lights that turn off at a certain time because I can't remember to turn anything off. A nighttime routine that multiple times saved my ass from staying up all night on a hyper focus.
Basically the side lights in my bedroom would go on at a certain time. Half an hour later every light except the side lights would turn off, then 10 minutes before bed the lights went off and the night light turned on. At bed time the night light turned off and the fan turned on. Really helped give me time cues to wrap up. Had a similar thing for the AM so I could get out of my house on time.
I also had notifications to my phone about laundry because I could never remember I was doing it. I also had automatic litter boxes. Not even as much for the self clean, it came in handy so much more for knowing the bathroom habits of my cats and the reminder to empty the litter. It's how I figured out which cat was peeing in my shower. Turns out, she had arthritis and needed a very short litter box.
I had a garage door sensor as well because my family worked on projects in my garage so it was really nice to know when someone was at my house. And another light routine with that because I clearly inherited my ADHD 🤣 I also had a roommate with kids and kids can't turn off lights either so light automatons everywhere! And a smart lock cause Jesus fuck finding keys lol.
In your case then, I'm not gonna knock it.
