4 Comments: 33 ADHD-Friendly Ways to Get Organized

  1. The level of horror I felt when I read to “simplify” my wardrobe by coordinating my clothing around only two colors, plus white for spring and summer and two other colors, plus black for fall and winter. That’s not enough color! I would be miserable.

    Then there’s “In one minute, you can sort mail, remove lint from the dryer, or water the plants.” Have you seen my jungle?!? I need like five minutes at the office and 15-20 at home. And removing lint from the dryer should be a paired task – you remove dryer lint before removing clothes from the dryer.

    Besides, if I walk into a different room for my “one minute task,” it’ll be at least 30 before I remember I was supposed to be doing something in the other room – unless I use the post-it note rule, providing I haven’t lost the post-it notes and pen. Who the heck carries around a pad of post-it’s and a pen anyway? Where do I put them – pocket space is a premium for women! And I’ll forget they exist in my pocket.

  2. I have learned quite a bit from this website, but this article is bizarre. A 33 item list to support people with ADHD? I think I saw 3 of them, not in that order, and skipped to the comments due to overwhelm. And the “try harder” undertone is not even an undertone. How about a list of 3 things? Or a series of one at at time? I wonder how many people with ADHD actually got through the list.

  4. Lots of good ideas, though I’m very wary of support groups. I’ve joined a few for various reasons, and they tend to be dominated by a few people who try to out-pathetic everyone else. “My ADHD is MUCH worse than yours! I’ve suffered more than anyone else from this. Let me tell you all about it!” etc. etc.
