Get Your Ducks (and Dishes!) in Order

When adult ADHD disorganization leads to burnt meals and lost ingredients at meal prep time...

 

Keep it close. Before you begin cooking, place everything you need for the meal on the counter. I also label drawers and shelves, so that everyone knows where items go.

    Good idea...but
    How does one keep from walking out the door to, say, pull a few weeds she sees out the window, while waiting for that pan to heat up, or lets the dog in and then wanders into another room; I think I need a ball and chain. And how does one keep everyone putting the, say, mayo at the mayo label in the fridge, and the milk at the milk label...sigh... Has anyone else out there ever burned hard boiled eggs?
