“My mind is a tornado full of letters and words at the edge of a cliff. My thoughts are formed by leaning over the side of the cliff and picking words from the tornado.

For me, I can’t get to the eye of the storm (subconscious) because the cliff is holding me back.”
“I think the library visual works the best for me. (...) Memories are ofc different books, different shelves have different labels. If a memory can be labeled under several labels, that means there are several copies in different shelves meaning its easier to appear at random, which tracks for recalling memories. Books that I don’t bring out often grow dusty making it harder to read the title to find it, and also makes them harder to read cuz pages fall out or whatever so I gave to piece things together to understand them.”
“I like to think of mine as sorta a dart board mixed with a clock. I try to associate things with phases of the day (...), I find myself throwing a dart at the board and just going with whatever it lands on.
(...)
So in my brain ill initially take a thought, task, etc, and assign it to a spot on the board (we’ll use the example of eating lunch at noon just for the sake of conversation). And then once noon comes around, I’ll look at noon, have decision paralysis on what to do, either first or just point blank period, panic, and throw a dart at the board with my eyes closed. Which may result in doing something that is elected for a different time completely out of sequence—like cleaning your room at 4am when you’re supposed to be sleeping. Or taking a nap when i should have been studying for tests for school.”
This specific anecdote sounds much more like a visualization of executive function than a Mindscape in how I defined it, but it’s still interesting and tangentially related.
“I kinda think of it as like a wheel of random information that spins and what it lands on is what I’m thinking of.
And sometimes when I can’t sleep, I just imagine every thought or memory I had of the day and putting it into storage and watching it disappear for the night.”
