Organization for people with ADHD can be a daily struggle
​Staying organized can feel overwhelming for individuals with ADHD, but with the right tools and strategies, it can become manageable and even empowering. ADHD often impacts working memory, focus, and task management, making traditional organization methods challenging. By using ADHD-friendly approaches, such as visual reminders, structured routines, and simplified systems, staying organized can become second nature.

Organization Tips and Tricks:
for ADHD
Why it helps: Putting items in the basket will reduce visual clutter which calms the mind. Make it part of your wind-down routine at night to put away items in the basket.
Keep baskets where you normally leave things. Put items in basket and put everything away at night
Why it helps: Very often those with ADHD will put clean clothes in the laundry basket to avoid putting them away. This method reduces visual clutter and laundry!
Have a Clean Clothes Bin in your closet for clothes that don't need to be washed but you have to put away.
Clear Out Expired or Unused Products
Why it helps: Regularly going through items like food, beauty products, or medications ensures that you’re not storing expired or unnecessary items. It creates more space and prevents your storage areas from becoming cluttered
Have a Designated Spot for Keys, Wallet, and Phone
Why it helps: Creating a designated spot for everyday items keeps them from getting lost or scattered around your room. It helps you stay organized and ensures you can always find your essentials when you need them.
Make Use of Hidden Storage
Why it helps: Hidden storage, like under-bed bins or storage ottomans, helps you store things out of sight while keeping your room tidy. It’s a great way to keep seasonal items or things you don’t use frequently organized.
Make Your Bed Every Morning
Why it helps: Making your bed is a quick win for tidying up, and it instantly makes your room look more organized. It also sets a productive tone for the day and helps minimize distractions.
Why it helps: Labeling containers and storage helps you quickly locate items without having to search through everything. It also reduces the chances of clutter building up because you always know where things belong.
Label Everything!
Why it helps: A short daily tidying session prevents mess from piling up. It only takes a few minutes, but it helps keep your room or workspace consistently organized and clutter-free.
Do a Quick 10-Minute Tidy-Up Each Day
Why it helps: Designating specific areas for different activities (like work, relaxation, or study) helps keep your space organized and minimizes the mess that can build up when everything is mixed together.
