The Digital Bounty
Never walk into a store without a list organized by aisle. Use your phone to check off items so you don't have to scan infinite shelves. Scanning is high-load for a foggy brain.
The Aisle Strategy
Supermarkets are designed to keep you wandering. For us, every extra minute under those lights is a withdrawal from a bank account that's already overdrawn.
The Loop Layer
Wear your earplugs before you even enter the parking lot. The hum of industrial freezers and tile-clatter of trolleys is a constant drain on your sensory budget.
The Self-Checkout Sanctuary
If social interaction is a drain today, use the self-checkout. If technical errors are a drain, find the human checkout. Know which one you need before you reach the end.
"It's just groceries.
Don't let them take your day."
