ADHD can significantly impact daily life, particularly through decision fatigue and challenges with object permanence. This page offers quick and actionable ideas to help transform your home into a supportive environment. You deserve a calm and peaceful space—let's work together to create it!
Decision fatigue occurs when the sheer number of choices you make throughout the day leaves you feeling overwhelmed. Here are some strategies to reduce decision fatigue:
Simplify your life by designating specific places for commonly used items. For example, keep a designated box next to your TV for the remote to avoid the daily search.
Minimize clutter by retaining only items you truly love and use regularly. This approach makes it easier to make decisions and enjoy your possessions. Donate or discard items that no longer fit your needs.
Evaluate your Tupperware collection. Keep a quantity that is twice the size of your family, plus a few extra pieces. For a family of three, this means no more than eight pieces. This method not only reduces clutter but also encourages you to keep your fridge organized.
If you struggle with object permanence, you might find it challenging to remember items that are out of sight. Here are some tips to address this:
If you frequently forget about items like bagged salads, try storing vegetables in a prominent spot, like the fridge door, and keep condiments in designated drawers. This can help you keep track of what you have and reduce food waste.
Make getting dressed easier by ensuring your clothes are visible and accessible. Review your clothing storage to find a system that allows you to see and choose outfits more effortlessly.
Create a designated drop zone by placing a large bowl on an entryway table. This simple solution helps keep your essentials organized and ensures that your keys, mail, and other items are easily accessible.
