I hope you all have a lovely weekend. Between my cold and the holiday, I haven’t been around much this week, but I’ll be back starting next week with more organizing stories, tips, and hacks.

Last week I started writing up my organizing journey from it’s very beginnings in the fall of 2004. Since the continuation of my entryway project now rests on things beyond my control (like somebody buying my bike and my clothes), I’ve decided to spend a few posts continuing that story. Today’s post isn’t about taking [...] Yeah, they’re something you’re supposed to grow out of when you turn 5. But not me. I narrowly avoided having tubes put in my ears as a kid, only to start getting ear infections again when I was fourteen or so. Since then, it seems like every time I get a cold I come down [...] When I went to containerize my entryway last week, I noticed that things had slipped a bit. To the right of the front door, there was packing paper spilling out of the recycling bin, and my bike was still in the back corner because I hadn’t gotten around to selling it yet: Entryway Maintenance [...] It’s a truth of time management that some tasks need to be delegated, and that the best tasks to delegate are those that somebody else can do better. For adults with ADD, cleaning and housekeeping are among those tasks. Every book I’ve ever read about ADHD has said that if you can afford to hire [...] Last week I wrote about perfectionism and ADD. I had spent 20 hours writing a lens for a Squidoo contest, even though I deliberately picked a topic that I thought would be easy and quick.

Personally, I feel like my ADD vanishes the minute I leave civilization. I’m usually the first one to spot wildlife, catch birdsong, or to notice a change in the weather. Maybe there’s something to that whole Hunter/Farmer thing. However, heading outside can be also [...] Welcome back to the series, “How to Organize an Entryway”. Yesterday I started the fifth step of organizing the entryway: Containerizing. Earlier in the week I went to The Container Store to get supplies. I got two clear acrylic sweater drawers, a set of matching clear dividers, and two plastic bins to try out [...] This weekend I wrote a Squidoo lens about tabby cats. Why tabby cats? Well, a Squidoo community that I’m a part of has been having weekly contests, and last week’s was to write a lens for the “animals and nature” category. I figured this would be good for me; all of my lenses to date have been [...] Today I’m picking up some of my containers from The Container Store on the way back from my med check. I’m on a low dose at the moment, thanks to the asshats who broke into my car last week, destroying the ignition, and forcing me to deal with that emergency instead of making my [...] |
