During lockdown I spent so my time considering and planning; trying to find a sophisticated labelling system for my pantry.
Colour coding for the top of spice jars so I could quickly find what I need. High quality stickers with neat, clear labels of what the item is, with the brand in pencil that could be altered if I switched to a different brand.
That system was completely fucking useless. ADHD means my motivation to uphold a system is completely fucked on some days. And the awkward half measures irritated me on my good days.
Now it's masking tape and a marker and pray it's legible. Because when it comes to this (and tbh, many things in my life) consistently average is better than inconsistently perfect.
The best system is one that works.
