i too found out recently i'm adhd now 59...i'm an artist and pretty
unconventional person.. i found it has really helped me to have a "home"
for everything... i care much more about doing my photography and art
than that everything is spotless and perfect and in perfect order... the
way i do it is to have different areas so all my art is in one area.. all my
business things in another area..etc... i then keep certain "important
things always in the same spot..(keys, bills)...i used to have piles every
where and couldn't find things...i began little by little to put things away
when i came in the house instead of plopping it all down on a chair...
i started with one thing....always hanging my clothes, even though when
i came in i was tempted to plop it down...little by little i have done that
with books, magazines, etc to where i can find everything...it also helped
me to stop each night and put things in their "homes"...it feels so good
to be able to see where everything is and i don't have to spend time on
big cleanups....i found doing just a little bit over and over it has now
become a habit and it feels bad to plop things in a pile...
i also use my front door for things that need immediate attention...i will
put my bills for the week on the floor so i see it over and over and also
write it down on my daily list ... i also put things i need to take with me
at the door...i have lots more little ways that i've created that keep me
on time and doing things that are necessities when they need to be done
instead of late...for me its impt to just do the thing over and over till it
becomes a habit and then i can feel safe knowing i will do the impt
things..
you can do it and find what works for you....
take care....
