That feel when you can't remember where you put a thing that you specifically put away to not lose it, but you can remember the exact location down to the millimeter of a thing you saw once a month ago.

Putting things back exactly where they were after moving them to clean a counter - easy

Putting things in a new, more sensible location (sometimes in a good-faith attempt to make a habit out of it) - nearly impossible

I feel like, for me (AuDHD), this goes along with:

Being able to remember the exact location of a place you went to once
vs
Being able to predict the edge of the doorway when leaving the bedroom you go in and out of every day

This is why I leave things laying around. I see things almost daily so when I need them I know exactly where they are. Once I organize them? Gone forever until I say "oh I wonder what's in this drawer."

That's why strict organization rules and mother-fucking-labels-on-every-motherfucking-thing is required.

Hahah
