There are a few things that cause me to struggle with my ADHD. Some of them I forget until the next time I run into the issue. Some are just obvious. My frustration now is about organization.
I want my office neat and organized. I hate writing in here with clutter and chaos everywhere, and yet I can't seem to find the energy to start tackling it.
It's overwhelming and that paralyzes me.
There's also finishing up my dad's bedroom. He lived with me for about seven years before he passed away so there was a lot of stuff. With help, I managed to handle most of it, but there's still a fair amount left to be done in there. Plus, I put a lot of my craft stuff in there to get it out of my office. Now not only is my dad's room loaded with his stuff, but it's now also loaded with craft supplies.
Another room that's overwhelming me now.
Then there's my closet, the pantry, the kitchen, and don't even ask me about the bonus room upstairs.
I had this idea of breaking things down to its smallest component and doing one tiny thing each week. I even took a notebook and created an entire theme for decorating it. And I haven't done much of anything with it.
Recently, I bought a spiral-bound workbook for organization. It has checklists and things like that. I haven't really looked through it yet. Until this book is completely finished and uploaded for its July release, I need to keep all my focus that direction, but I did glance at it and I'm worried it was a waste of money because some sections pertain to things that I don't need.
I guess we'll see when I have time to get there.
It's too bad professional organizers are out of my price range. With ADHD, I do better if I have someone working with me and that's what an organizer would do. They also cost the moon, so workbooks it is. Maybe even a few online videos.
