Goblin tools are amazing! This is evidence that AI can be used for good.

[@ceciliaslepmet4840]

Yes, this is a good use of AI cause it's helpful without taking anyone job from them

[@Courterfly]

I feel like the please take care of your oral hygiene is still blunt. I remember hearing a tip one time that was “hey, would you like some gum/a mint/tictac etc.?”

[@audrab.589]

Goblin tools is Amazing. I’m a teacher with a lot of students who struggle with executive functioning and that will so help them

[@MomontheSpectrum]

So glad to hear this!

[@PhingChov]

"I can see you through my computer" 😅 yeah, kinda creepy. Maybe should've run it through the formalizer 😂

[@MomontheSpectrum]

HAHA! Love this comment

[@CKSBoltaction]

"more to the point' - we probably don't need help with that haha

[@MomontheSpectrum]

lol "please make my speech LESS BLUNT."

[@ronniecorbett6306]

After mentioning that I might be a High Functioning Autistic to my wife and a few others, they think I am just making an excuse for my personality. I am Bipolar but I also show traits of HFA. I feel alone, I don't know what to do.

[@waynepalumbo8917]

That chair is amazing. The side to side rocking also seems like it is amazing for the core muscles.

[@MomontheSpectrum]

oooh I didn't even think of that but YES! Bonussss

[@nryane]

Thanks, Taylor. The executive function is my most challenging trait. I think I have my own way to approach doing things, by making them into “puzzles” that need completion. That way they become more “fun” for me. However, the goblin tools work up for tasks looks like it could be useful for the organizing of time for each project. The muista chair looks great, a possible purchase in the future. My ONO is great! Thanks for that recommendation, also. (BTW, the taking out ALL items from a closet doesn’t work for me. I have to do them ONE item at a time. Otherwise, the tool is great.) Onto a cleaner, neater condo! Thank you for the reminder to be kind and compassionate to ourselves. THAT has been the BEST learning for me, upon my very late diagnosis! (I’m 80, so I have a lot of compassion to give myself for feeling so “broken” all my life. Better late, than never!) LOVE to you and yours!🥰❤️❣️

[@a.e5220]

love the blue eyeshadow!!

[@nataliefoxmartin9764]

So. I’ve never heard of this. I’m literally crying. This is INCREDIBLE.

[@lidu6363]

Oh my god, that translation to "professional language" just turns it from agressive to passive agressive 🤣 (which is what I usually do when failing an attempt to sound polite 😅)

[@moonowlmama]

Holy f*ck! I need to create & submit a home learning plan for my kiddo's school, & have been procrastinating due to "new task paralysis" & overwhelm. Thanks for the lesson, as I hadn't understood Goblin Tools prior to this.

[@MomontheSpectrum]

You're welcome! I'm glad it was helpful to you.

[@cjones8690]

Gorgeous and genius chair! Not in the budget though sadly, gotta save for my autism assessment!

[@ginadelfina5887]

That site is so cool! And I feel like almost everyone, autistic or not, could find something on there that might help them. The chair looks fun also. Thank you for sharing!

[@ceciliaslepmet4840]

3:28 I'm actually so excited, this is awesome!!!

[@thetangle7464]

Omg mind blown where has this website been all my life. Holly heck I’m speechless

[@MomontheSpectrum]

i know, it's the best!! 🙌

[@StaceyUncluttering]

I love that Goblin tools resource! But if I took everything out of my closet I would be so overwhelmed I’m not sure much would get done at all. Or I’d decide I need to arrange it all by color (except my closet already is 😂)

[@rubybrambleburr1629]

Yeah I wouldn't be able to do this either

[@MomontheSpectrum]

Makes sense! It does sound a bit overwhelming. I wonder if you choose the option to break it down further if it would simplify things. 🤔 still learning how to use this resource!

[@StaceyUncluttering]

@@MomontheSpectrumtotally! I just did this today actually. I need to clean out the drawers in my bathroom vanity so I just did one. It may take longer but this way it will get done vs me shoving it all back into the drawers for the magical, nonexistent time that I feel able to deal with it all.

[@Meldog1851]

YES! This was my first thought, and also that there’s more than one way of doing things. I follow a KZbinr named Dana K. White and she has some awesome tips on how to do something like clean out your closet so that you don’t make a bigger mess and you only make progress.

[@ceciliaslepmet4840]

Same. And then my clothes just stayed on the floor for days

[@zumaone3692]

The chair would be great unfortunately the price is way out of the realm of possibility.

[@MissNikkiDawson]

Holy shit I am so excited for this!!!!!! WHERE HAS GOBLIN BEEN ALL MY LIFE 😂

[@chancreager6855]

woah! as a web developer especially, goblin tools is such a find! thanks!

[@robbiegibson4112]

Especially if I have several for 1 day. I try to plan the entire day everyday. It really helps me.

[@nathanjw940]

That's amazing the website

[@cyana5867]

Thank you for the goblin! I tend to open the fridge and stare and I always wait til I’m starving. The Chef on Goblin has helped already.

[@bethanykittok3903]

My exercise ball was key to getting through Covid nursing school. I like that the musita chair doesn't run away from you like an exercise ball 😂

[@mariuszwisla3230]

What if I love to make 'to-do-lists' myself? It's just sometimes there is too much distraction to implement them later Good tip about muista chair. I struggle to sit motionless and continue working too. I tried all kinds of dinner, office, garden chairs so far, and I found them all lacking.

[@dyzz5812]

This is all so amazing! Just love it! Thank you so much! Your Chanel have helped me so much whit my New diagnosis!

[@MomontheSpectrum]

aww I'm so glad to hear it! Thanks for the feedback 🤩

[@ashleecox9806]

This is amazing! Thank you so much! 😊

[@Leon_PlaysStation]

When I speak, I speak confident and “normal” but here and there I stumble on my words a lot. I hate it ☹️😓

[@craigcarter400]

I feel like I would want to use the sarcastic tone way too often lol.

[@robbiegibson4112]

You to. Be extra kind and gentle to yourself.

[@vickishanholtz7560]

MIND BLOWN!

[@heatherb3668]

My mind is blown! Thank you for sharing!💕

[@jdalia143xo]

It is officially downloaded. You have sold me!

[@MomontheSpectrum]

awesome! I hope you love it as much as I do.

[@fleurdixoncoote]

Oh wow! Thank you so much xxx

[@jacobthatcher385]

Goblin looks amazing! So looking forward to trying it!

[@julierosie62]

Omg thank you! ❤

[@MomontheSpectrum]

you're welcome!

[@byamboy]

Thank you for your existence!!!

[@pryah]

Amazing!!! Mind blown

[@doreal]

Thank you!!!

[@AuntieMinna]

Thank you! I needed this twenty years ago, but better late than never, right?

[@MomontheSpectrum]

Absolutely! Glad it is helpful.

[@melissanaidu2690]

You were right about my mind being blown! 🙂 Nice! Thank you for the website. This is a game changer, life saver!

[@JadeCanada237]

Honestly, omg! Your channel was recommended to me and I've been watching your videos and they have been so helpful! This tool is incredibly helpful. I am terrible at estimating how long tasks take, and where to start. I get overwhelmed and anxious. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@s0cializedpsych0path]

This popped up at random, and I'm so glad to have found it, Taylor! I need all the EF-help I can get! Helpful as always! Thanks immensely!

[@TheCassierra908]

Wow, the goblin tool is amazing! Just what I need! Thank you for the suggestion!

[@user-zn4wl4qc7n]

goblin tool is AMAZING!!!! it's the freaking best thing i've ever used and helps me SO MUCH every day. so glad that you're sharing this!

[@FenjaWonderland]

Love love love ❤

[@ajmilagros]

Mind blown! I knew goblin tools could break down a task, but not the other stuff! I even bought the app. I just opened it to see the rest of the tools to use. OMG it’s more magical than I thought!

[@superguyy4akaamo]

These are great tools. I just discovered the benefits of AI last week for executive functioning, and have actually been developing my own different AI chatrooms with specific criteria and ways to respond to my needs. This has some great examples categories I'm looking for! The AI in goblin isn't the best, but the fact that they have broken it down into these helpful categories gives me more ideas on ways to help myself, which is the goal! Thank you!!

[@andi-roo9426]

Lordy Lordy, I do need that CHAIR!!! 😮

[@theashleystrand]

Will be looking at both of these resources more in depth, thanks for sharing !

[@MomontheSpectrum]

Glad it was helpful!

[@RudeOptics]

Holy rusted metal batman! This is freaking amazing!!!!!

[@GrammyAllen]

Awesome!! Thanks! I think my son and I both will be trying Goblin!!

[@MomontheSpectrum]

Glad to hear it!!

[@Ragdollcatlover]

Thanks so much - this is going to be a great help for me. ❤

[@MomontheSpectrum]

You're welcome!

[@jbullets5198]

This is so so so great

[@passaggioalivello]

Hi Tay, wow it's so useful and fun. Thank you.

[@MomontheSpectrum]

You're welcome, pass!

[@nerdrooted]

OMG goblin tools is amazing!

[@MomontheSpectrum]

👾🎉

[@minako25]

This is fantabulous! And now I have to play with it for the next hour or more. I asked it how long it would take me to draw a comic book. It said four weeks. It's been... 5 years since I just stopped that project.

[@ceciliaslepmet4840]

Moat helpful video EVER thank you ❤

[@MomontheSpectrum]

Oh wow I’m so glad!! Thanks for the feedback!

[@Barb15]

Awesome!!!!

[@gamineglass]

I’ve been using this app for a few months and it’s really helpful

[@MomontheSpectrum]

Glad to hear it! Which of the components is your favorite?

[@gamineglass]

@@MomontheSpectrum Magic To Do is my favorite, but tbh I haven’t explored the other functions nearly as much

[@wolfdreams2000]

I love the title of "goblin" ❤😅 Ok, this looks awesome 😊 I go Mon for my first assessment to see if I need further assessment for ASD. We know I'm ADHD(combined), but I'm super nervous since I've never been to this clinic. 🤔

[@craigcarter400]

I could see the goblin tools working if I break certain parts of the tasks down correctly.

[@CKSBoltaction]

oooo I love this

[@GygyMy]

Thank you so much. I remember you mentionned the Goblin website on (at least) another video and I had a quick look, and tried only the Magic todo, this is really helpful. Now with this presentation of the other functions (I got distracted for weeks I guess and had somewhere in my mind to come back to check them): this is something (all finctions) which will help so many people (me included! for sure), AND this chair, as soon as you showed it, I knew I'd love it.... Currently I'm starting to actively work to get out of a dark spiral .... as soon as I can, I'll get that chair I will love and enjoy it for sure (and probably offer one as well ;-) to loved one) Thank you so so much for sharing. I wish you and everyone a beautiful day/week end.

[@MomontheSpectrum]

You’re welcome and thank YOU for your kind words and feedback!

[@Sharkuterie327]

I have to tell you… In the Chef tool, I typed in “one sweet potato” and the output recipe was “Sweet Potato Medley. Ingredients: 1 Sweet Potato” It did its best. 😂

[@T1MB05L1C3]

As a goon, I can't use this website, because what's a goon to a goblin

[@robbiegibson4112]

I have to plan to accomplish task, goals, and chores.

[@nicoled.4472]

OMG the formalizer is going to save my job....now to only send emails 🤣....I want the chef on my fridge/pantry.

[@jennycox2839]

I love your yee haw! Ride em cow girl! That was so fun!😅😂😊

[@gracefulkimberella]

Very helpful!! Please repeat the names through the walkthroughs

[@MomontheSpectrum]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@gracefulkimberella]

@@MomontheSpectrum I used the website and love it. Repetition helps clarify what I thought you called the program and dampens the frustration of looking through the videos description. Thanks

[@nnylasoR]

Just hit play but already I’m worried none of this (except the exercise ball) will be helpful to me as a PDA’er. Noooothing seems to be able to break through this hard shell of NOPE that I’m barely treading water within. 😩

[@spyroninja]

That chair is awesome. I would love one but 400 bucks is a bit much lol.

[@terraverlage6834]

Hi Taylor.... In one of your KZbin videos you feature one of your favourite stim toys at the end. It's a single toy item that moves via finger manipulation, and I do not remember what video it is and I do not remember the name of the item. Can you remind me? Thanks❗😃

[@chrismaxwell1624]

Here I am work. Seemingly simple task to do yet I'm stuck. I can't get started. Gave this a try and it's listed out everything. I'm shocked how it good this is. I put in a IT task I have work, this gave me all the thing that would take me a week to figure out and I'd miss half of it. Do they have app for this?

[@chrismaxwell1624]

They do have an APP, 99 cents and I got it.

[@Aajf-zz2jk]

I’m just saying this not to downvote or dislike this video. It’s in case someone else feels the same way. I don’t think I like these tools because they take a learning opportunity away from me and make me more dependent to technology. Also, when I design my own solutions and processes, I feel more rewarded in the end. (I have ASD too)

[@1984scl]

Hi .. I was wondering if you have any tips. I have a son who is 11 and has an autism diagnosis with ADHD has been in a gen Ed class the whole time but struggles when feeling overwhelmed he starts to whine kids are starting to make fun how do I get him to learn to deal with this without whining.

[@jcrosslin8]

You seem a lot happier and slightly weirder than usual. You just seem to have let your hair down, so to speak. Cheers from Memphis!

[@MomontheSpectrum]

Haha thanks for this compliment! Definitely feel happier and weirder and lighter than ever.

[@autisticexpressiongenx]

cool

[@99fenton]

Is there a decision tool?

[@ginachambers5094]

Can anyone help with conversion? Google is telling me that the chair is $40,000!

[@binathere2574]

I'm in Australia $646.00. Time to learn woodwork.

[@MomontheSpectrum]

Muista communicated with me that their website would reflect different currencies... they are currently working on it to make it easier to navigate and understand... thanks for your patience as they work out some issues.

[@Tiarys]

It's showing up as 390 euros for me, for the regular height, and 630eu for the tall. This comes up to ~$416 USD and ~$672 USD respectively (at current conversion rage for today). Hope that's helpful =)

[@stellyz397]

Wow. Life changing isn't even hyperbole.

[@whitneymason406]

Very cool and helpful website! This is great and I appreciate that it's free. Thanks for sharing!

[@MomontheSpectrum]

You're very welcome!

[@consuelonavarrohidalgo5334]

I think you made my day and my week and my month! Thank you very much. .

[@MomontheSpectrum]

Awww yay!! I’m so glad.
