Noise cancelling headphones, not just for avoiding other people’s noise in general but also to make noisier tasks easier. Vacuum, blender, cooking in general with all the loud pots and pans, fans, drill, epilator, electric toothbrush. I either avoided them or tried to get them over with as quickly as possible and did a haphazard job, they’ve helped me in about every aspect of my life.
It was a pretty big shift for me when I realized that a big part of my mood was tied to my sensory load. Using tools like earplugs or shades makes life go better when my nervous system decides to flare up and make everything loud, bright and annoying.
