Had the most horrendous airline experience while doodling for this movie. Fun movie, though.

From the book Organizing Solutions for People with ADHD:

Putting a coat on the back of a chair by the door is fine, but if you prefer, use coat hooks and a large catch-all basket for dropping keys, hats, gloves.

Small bookcase end-table next to the couch to store craft projects, books, and other things being worked on for easy access.

Add a storage unit near the dining room table to transition between eating and working there.

Daily toiletry items should be stored in a basket that you can move easily

Extra toiletries and medicine cabinet items go in open shelf/basket storage so they can be seen and used easily. If items no longer fit, purge the excess. Don’t obscure the view!

If you disrobe in the bathroom, place a tall hamper in there.

Keep a set of cleaning supplies in each bathroom

I’ve gotten this book out from the library and it is fantastic. I was wary, because we all know how well most organization schemes work for us, but she is a professional organizer who specifically wrote the book because her usual methods didn’t work for clients with adhd (and then her own daughter, when she was diagnosed) and she had to actually sit down and figure out their needs and adjust her methods accordingly.

For once, a NT author sat down and took the time to really understand adhd and rearranged their whole methodology just to fit, and it shows. She explicitly says that a well-organized adhd house will not look like a well-organized NT house, and that is absolutely fine. Organization has to be about what works for you.

(Also: I had this book sitting in my back office basket at the library I volunteer in for weeks without being able to check it out, because I kept forgetting to return my overdue books. LOL)

These are good! However, I want to add a technique. See I am the sole non-ADHD person in my house. The amount of (organized! Well corralled!) clutter in these rooms would make me feel antsy and uncomfortable. Makes my brain staticky.

BUT! This shit WORKS. And I want/need our home to work for all of us.

So the solution has been figuring out what spaces really need what solutions. Like…I don’t go hang out in the bathroom, so that’s a good space for transparent organization to work- with me taking the opaque drawers for my use because the others don’t like them. The play room is an obvious space to prioritize my daughters needs, to. If I want her to be able to clean up after herself, then I need to make that easy for her to learn to do herself, in a space that works for her.

But the livingroom, where I relax, and where people come over, is a space mostly free of these techniques. Instead, we take turns doing 10 minute clean up’s per night. Since it’s only one comparatively small space and we have a well established and shared routine, that always keeps it easy to tidy. Also, most objects that might have accumulated there have a well established other home to go to.

The kitchen had to be a compromise zone. If there’s stuff all over the counters the space feels upsetting and unusable to me. But things that are in opaque cabinets functionally cease to exist for the other two. The compromise turned out to be keeping some visually not too busy items on the counter, like spaghetti, in a clear container, but to otherwise keep the countertops clutter free. Items like spices, ladles and stuff were replaced with cheap but reasonably aesthetic versions and put on shelves. See, organizing them in a pretty way isn’t just to make my kitchen instagramish. Use of things like grouping, pattern, respect for color harmony, and material reduce the amount of visual noise, which leaves me ok having them visible, without them being hidden.

So like- it’s not all either/or! You can get granular and creative to figure out systems that work for everybody.
