Taming the Clutter Monster: A Guide for Those with ADD
Overcoming Clutter with ADD
Do you wake up, head to your home office, and see the same stack of newspapers from years ago? Or maybe you can't even remember what your desk is made of. If this sounds familiar, you might be dealing with the clutter monster, a common challenge for those with ADD.
While individuals with ADD often prefer organized spaces, maintaining neatness can be tough. Procrastination becomes a routine, and while you might grow accustomed to the mess, those around you might not be as tolerant. So, how do you tackle the chaos?
Here’s an ADD-friendly solution:
1. Use a Large Box: Start by gathering all the clutter into a big box. This quick and simple task ensures you don’t get bored. Keep essential items like bills separate. Consider placing these in a designated basket that’s easy to access for when the mail arrives. Set a specific day each month to sort and pay bills.
2. Schedule Your Sorting Day: Choose a distraction-free day to tackle the box. You’ll need a timer, two banker's boxes with lids, and a trash can. Set the timer for five minutes and begin sorting: trash goes in the bin, important papers in one box, and items you’re unsure about in the other.
3. Breaks are Key: After five minutes, take a 55-minute break. When the timer goes off, resume sorting for another five minutes. Repeat until the box is empty. If the box isn’t enormous, you’ll finish by day’s end.
4. Organize and Store:
- Label the box with non-essential items and store it. If untouched in six months, discard it.
- Keep the important documents box accessible. They don’t need to be meticulously organized, just easy to find.
Make It a Habit:
ADD will likely lead to recurring clutter, so transform this process into a monthly routine. Dedicate a day to gather and sort your belongings. This practice won’t only enhance your happiness but also bring relief to your family.
Remember, you can achieve anything for five minutes at a time. Give it a try and see if this method helps you conquer your clutter challenges.
