Much like living with ADHD, relying on technology is a godsend for navigating stuff other people find easy.
For fellow brains out there: my phone’s calendar and reminders supplement the bits of my brain that just can’t/won’t organize or tell time properly. I schedule all kinds of inane stuff and it really helps. With practice, anxiety has dropped to the occasional “where is my phone?” easter-egg hunt. My cyborg-like existence is a lot less stressful now.
In the real world: NY State has the distinction of having some of the most well-intended-yet-confusing-as-hell signage in the country. That said, PA has some of the most under-specified signage and is just is terrible for totally different reasons. Good thing navigation apps like Google Maps make it all irrelevant.
