From Chaos to Calm With a Stress-Free Organized Home & Productive Space In a Cluttered Environment

Clutter means much more for ADHD people than simple inconvenience; it increases stress, overloads the senses, and decreases the effectiveness of work. Although an organized home might sound like a dream to some people, the reality is that no one useful, beautiful and calm living space is impossible to achieve. That is why at Get Organized, we recognize the peculiarities of those who have ADHD and offer approaches that help make a home, an office or any other space a place that makes for focus, and less for nerves. In this post, we’re going to discuss how to make changes to your home so it helps, rather than hinders those with ADHD.

The very first thing to do to add up to have an ADHD-friendly environment is to help remove clutter. Disorderly environments can cause a lot of noise that hinders one’s attention on tasks or even leisure. Decluttering does not mean you have to eliminate all the objects in your home; rather, you eliminate those which do not have any utility or value to the owner. Starting small is key. If you are struggling to know where to start, start small by taking a single drawer, shelf or corner of a room. This approach avoids using too much effort in the initial stage of a particular column, and more often, you get the sense of having achieved something because the next column is almost complete. A helpful method for decluttering is the “Three-Box Method,” where you sort items into three categories: keep, donate, or discard. If you work through the steps patiently, you will build up an environment in which the conditions are less overwhelming. Tidying up is not only about actual arrangement of one’s residential premises, it also helps to separate space from thoughts and vertigo which gives a feeling of confidence and completion.

After decluttering the home, the next thing is to organize your home by setting up general sections of the house. ADHD sufferers do not like changes or switching between different types of activities and therefore it will be quite useful to have strictly defined areas for specific purposes. For example, create a working area with a workplace and equipment, pencils, files, notes, etc., and the rest area with soft chairs, lamps and books, and a favorite book for relaxing, etc. Primarily, such zones work as visual reminders of what sorts of actions are meant to occur in each corresponding location, thereby minimizing regularly occurring decision-making and encouraging more productivity. Therefore, every zone must incorporate only the items needed for that exercise and no extra. Such division of areas is useful in avoiding interference and in making sure that the surroundings complement instead of interfere with one’s habits.

Another factor, which is appropriate in an ADHD-friendly environment, is appropriate use of visual prompts. It is also important to avoid storage solutions that are either semi- transparent or clearly labeled because it will take time time to look for something and somethings may be forgotten. For example, when items such as clearing bins, open-shelves, or colour-coded systems, make it much easier to find and return item to their rightful places. On the same note, that visual encouraging items shall be placed at home, these are sticky notes or whiteboards for keeping up with the to-do lists, calender or even motto. Thus, such externalisation helps to reduce the amount of information that your brain has to retain in its short-term memory, and which is likely to be useful for something more important.

Storage plays an important role in the management of an environment as it provide direction on where to store certain items. ADHD individuals can utilize simplistic layouts because simple and easy-to-use structures continue to be a good idea. Shelves hooks and stackable bins when placed vertically can help in minimizing the cluttering of items within the house while making the most use of vertical space where the most used items are usually placed. Tables that fold and ottomans with storage can also work wonders if you have a small apartment, or if you are doing a lot of entertaining. Regarding storage, the best is to select approaches friendly with your habits. If you are person who forgets things stored at the back of some drawers then open shelf or baskets maybe easier. The idea here is to achieve the kind of organization which is natural and would not cause much strain to maintain rather than have the plan of organization imposed which would be hard to maintain.

That brings us to the next key point of Wabi-Sabi, which is entering a place with the intention of making it orderly every morning. It is as if orderliness may deteriorate to messiness over a while even if one has a super comfy and super neat home. Even spending only 10 to 15 minutes every evening in clearing would make a lot of difference. In this case, ensure that all the items are placed back to their appropriate sections, tables wiped, and areas tidied up as they prepare for the following day. If you want to make this routine more entertaining try to set a timer or listen to your favorite song while cleaning. These are the small, steady actions that over time keep your space practical and soothing than can be imagine.

There are many positive outcomes that come from having an organized space besides the visuals. Based on research, finding ways to help child and adults with ADHD to manage their environmetrics around them, can greatly lower stress levels and increase focus, effectiveness and improved productivity. In other words when there is no visual clutter or clutter that comes with searching for an object that you lost somewhere you will find that you are able to dedicate ample time and effort to the things which you consider most important. In the of course, an organized home environment promotes a sense of order and structure, which plays a great role in enhancing mental health. It made each game or the whole season, for that matter, work for you instead of against you in your everyday life, personal and professional.
