I can't relate personally to having a LD but, you know what, it doesn't matter - your organization insight offers value to even folks like me just trying to keep my workspace uncluttered! Thanks for the posts and keep them coming. Now to go work on that routine :). Addy,

Every single time I read something written by you it touches me. I can’t relate personally to having a LD but, you know what, it doesn’t matter – your organization insight offers value to even folks like me just trying to keep my workspace uncluttered! Thanks for the posts and keep them coming.

Now to go work on that routine happy.

For those that work at home, routine can be the first thing to disappear as we celebrate freedom from the 9-5 of the office, but then we find we are still working at midnight and some tasks never seem to get done despite all the available time. Why? Because they have not been scheduled in the way that a commuting lifestyle forces us to schedule our leisure and household tasks. Making appointments with yourself to clean the kitchen or whatever is a great way to get back on track. This common-sense advice is relevant to so many of us, even those without ADD!
