Brand, thing, behavior, method, advice, mantra, etc.

I swear by Blackwing pencils.

Also, the 'two minute rule', which has really improved my life: "if it takes two minutes or less to do, just do it now; if it takes longer, schedule it." I've got untreated attention issues and it's very easy for me to notice something needing done, and overlook or procrastinate it because it seems inconvenient in the moment. Having a totally painless rule that forces me to acknowledge that thing I should pick up, that trash bag I should change, etc, or, to at least put on my calendar anything I mustn't forget in the long run has been great for me.

The thing is, sometimes you just can't find the right words to explain it in a simple way. It happens to me all the time.

I usually forgive not knowing the right vocabulary as long as it is close enough.

Finding vocabulary at all can be a challenge in and of itself. If I get too lost for words I sometimes can't find any - it's not that I don't know how things work, I don't know how to say it.
