Re: Cleaning/Decluttering your home when you have ADD

I'm don't know anyone with ADD so apologies in advance if my advice won't work for you. I am however the sorter/cleaner/ get shit done person in my family (and my mum has definite hoarder tendencies), so here goes:

I don't think your 'landfill' and 'good will' boxes are that bad an idea if you feel like the situation is that out of control. I would however add a 'keep' and a 'sort out later' box, the latter to be used with discretion. (Oh, and also a 'recycling' box :p).

Before going to the boxes, I would first do a preliminary sort by putting things i thw right room e.g. dishes in the kitched, clothes in the bedroom, etc. I would then attack each room one by one, and first pick up everything that isn't where it should be (clothes on the floor, mail on the table, knick knacks floating around) and sort them into each box. You can break this into areas if it helps, e.g. floor, then side table, then table, then couch.

It's up to you (and depends on how much stuff is in each box) whether you go through each room before dealing with each box, or deal with them room by room.

Once you've done this for each room, deal with each box as makes sense. Put away the stuff in the 'keep' box. If there isn't room for it yet, put that stuff aside. Because now it's time to apply the same process to any storage area that is too full. It seems like your wardrobe is in definite need. Use the 'chuck it if you haven't worn in 6 months/ a year' rule if you need to.

Tlevaluate your 'sort out later' box. There will probably be a few things that you're happy to chuck from it now. After you've done that, put your 'keep' stuff away. If it doesn't fit, either reevaluate what you teally need to keep, or get some more storage space e.g. storage that can fit under the bed.

Your timeframe for doing all the above is up to you. The main principles are about approaching it in a systematic way, and breaking down the job into smaller segments if you can. That way if you have a regular break schedule, you should be able to have in mind the exact job you'll move onto next, which should help motivate you to get back into it. This system also means you can also plan how much work you'll get done in a stretch (e.g. 3/4 of the living room, or the kitchen bench), rather than just avoiding even starting because it all seems too overwhelming.

Sorry for the late reply (and I hope you see this!), but thank you so much -- this sounds like a totally doable plan!
