Prosopagnosia (face blindness)

Prosopagnosia is a neurological disorder resulting in an inability to recognize faces. Although I live a very normal life and few people around me even realize I struggle with it unless I tell them, it does make my life very difficult on numerous occasions a day. I've taken it upon myself to educate as many people as I can about the disorder, so I'm posting info about it here.

The Dvorak Keyboard

The standard qwerty keyboard that nearly all keyboards use was designed to slow down keystrokes on old typewriters so they wouldn't jam. The Dvorak keyboard was designed to speed up typing as well as cause less stress on the typists hands. It takes some effort to relearn a new keyboard layout, but I suggest making the leap if you do a lot of typing.

Toilet Training Your Cat

Yes, it can be done. The easiest and best method for litter box management is, of course, to simply let your cat go outside. This will also make for a happier cat. But when not possible, they can be taught to use the toilet. I had one cat who would choose to use the toilet if it was raining and she didn't want to go outside.

Hint: If you can't get flushable litter, you can shred toilet paper and use it instead.
