So You Have ADHD & You Want to Be Organized?

When I first started my journey toward a more organized life, I had no idea what I truly wanted. I just knew I was so done living the way I was. Most weekends, I’d attack the clutter, pull everything out of a closet, and think, “Finally, I did it!” only for things to fall back into chaos just a few days later.

I emptied and tried to organize this closet 5 times! Keep reading to see the after...

I was chasing perfection. That’s how I’ve approached a lot of things in my life. Sometimes it kept me from starting at all because perfect felt too far out of reach. Other times, I’d go all in and completely overextend myself and still feel like I was failing. The bins weren’t working. The organizing books that made SO much sense weren’t working. And I was exhausting myself trying to make it all fit together.

When I quit my corporate job to start my own business, I signed up for a manifestation certification course. A book I read while working with a career coach shifted something in me. It helped me realize I didn’t have to just let life happen to me. I could create a new path.

In practical terms, manifestation isn’t all that different from project planning or goal setting. It’s about getting clear on what you want and taking aligned action to move toward it. But there’s one essential piece manifestation includes that most corporate growth plans leave out:

The beliefs that drive everything we do.

I wish I could give you a magic hack or a single trick that makes everything fall into place. There are a ton of helpful strategies out there. But the truth is, there’s no one-size-fits-all method to organizing an ADHD brain. We’re beautifully complex, and so are the systems that work for us.

As a professional organizer and ADHD coach, I support women in finding peace in their homes and their minds. And here’s what I can tell you with confidence:

Knowing where you want to go is powerful

Believing you can actually get there is the next step

And then? It’s about taking the smallest action in that direction

(If executive function makes this hard, you’re not alone. Big goals are tough to break down when your brain feels like a browser with 47 tabs open.)

In my own home, I finally realized what I was craving was peace and room to grow into the version of me I hadn’t yet become. The more I took small, intentional actions, the more that vision became clear. I started letting go of layers of my past that I had never felt strong enough to release.

And now, because I know what peace feels like—including the joy of actually finding what I’m looking for—I keep choosing small actions that move me in that direction:

• 15 minutes sorting the garage, even when it’s messy and overwhelming

• Putting one lone hair tie back in its home instead of waiting for a meltdown to do everything all at once

• Taking a deep breath when my brain is overloaded and reminding myself, “One thing at a time is enough.”
