If you have ADHD, your struggle with clutter probably isn't laziness—your brain works differently and needs systems that accommodate your unique processing style. I share my personal journey from a space so chaotic I couldn't let friends use my bathroom to developing sustainable ADHD-friendly organization strategies.
• Traditional organization methods often fail for people with ADHD because they don't account for executive function challenges
• Every item needs a designated spot that's visually accessible—use open shelves, clear bins, and labels
• Organize by three principles: point of performance, keeping related items together, and minimizing steps
• Having multiples of frequently used items in different rooms dramatically improves tidiness
• Customize your space based on your specific challenges—my bedroom reorganization solved my lifelong clothing chaos
• Use the "scientific method" approach: try strategies, observe results, keep what works, and discard what doesn't
Join me next Tuesday when I'll talk about strategies to get control over your belongings.
