I've tried the "don't put it down, put it away" a loooong time, with up and down periods.
Until I read KC Davis explaining what a free day is for her : doing whatever she wants et leaving everything down when she feels like it, BUT with a reset time to clean up at the end of the day.
This truly works for me.
The first method requires constant attention and a lot of executive fonctions, with poor satisfaction.
The second offers me a sense of freedom, where I can truly be myself and enjoy. The reset time is also cool because there is a huge before and after effect that makes me happy.
