How Do You Get And Stay Organized. I Also Have Add?

Get rid of things you don’t need or use after you move. That will help with not having way too much stuff to find a home for so you don’t feel overwhelmed.
Find a place for something and keep it there, then put it back when you’re done.
For your bedroom –Keep plastic rubbermaid tubs for storing things, such as clothes, in closets and put a homemade label made out of white masking tape on the lid so you know just what is in the tub. Get a plastic shoe organizer to hang over the closet door for shoes so they don’t stay all messed up in the floor. Put out little baskets to keep lip gloss, spare change, etc. in on your nightstand or dresser so they don’t clutter up the furniture.
For the bathroom –Keep all cleaning supplies, toilet paper, etc…under the bathroom sink.
Keep toothbrushes on a toothbrush holder, put hairspray, toothpaste, combs, hair brushes, floss..etc..in a drawer. Or, get a plastic see thru “portable” 3 drawer stacker from Wal Mart for less than $10 for first aid and hair accesories to keep them organized.
For the kitchen — All cleaning supplies under the sink. Stack bowls on top of one another. Keep a large round cylinder shaped holder for all cooking utensils on the counter top by the stove to make them easier to find and also to free up drawer space in your kitchen.
For kids’ bedrooms — go thru the toy boxes about once a month and throw away any broken toys. go thru the closets once every 2 months to either store, or get rid of clothing they have outgrown.
In the living room — keep a magazine rack or holder in the floor somewhere for newspapers, magazines, books, etc..so they don’t get strolled all over the floor.
Take 10 mins. every night before you go to bed and pick up.

I have ADD too. First, you have to take your medicine. Haha. That always helps me. It’s going to be harder for you because you’re a mom, and unexpected things are always going to come up. It’s a good idea to get a planner and write down specific events, birthdays, plans,etc.; you’re much less likely to forget about something if you write it down and can see it in front of you. Look at events or things needed to be done in the near future and try to figure out how much time and energy you’re going to need to complete it. If you do this, you’re much more likely to begin working on things that take longer to complete sooner, and this’ll leave you with more time for smaller tasks. I hope I’ve helped you.

If you have a lot of stuff that you don’t use or don’t need you could donate it to a local Goodwill or any of the other thrift stores. You could have a garage sale if you have enough stuff and make a little money to. Keep what you “need”, not what you think you “might” need.

i am 35 years old been married for 12 years have a 14 year old with ADHD a 16 year old and i was diagnosed with ADHD when i was 10 so i’ve had it my whole life. the best way i have learned to deal it is to write everything down get a journal and write everything down. (try not to miss place your journal) when you move and are packing write on a bunch of scrap pieces of paper what each pile is for like pictures,nicknack’s,books,kids books, my socks, kids socks, bla bla you get the idea set everything in those piles when the boxes are full tape them and write on it what stuff is in it. so when you move you know where to put each box ( try to through out the sh*t though i know its hard but you can do it.) the best way to keep your home in check is to have routines and be anal about your routines(my husband is always trying to crinkle my routine) always do everything the same way and in the same order. i have had people tell me i am O.C.D but i think they would rather me be O.C.D then a scatterbrained nit wit you know what i mean i get so scatterbrained that i forgot what some one just asked me 2 minutes ago or i’ve bolted out the door for a scatterbrained fun day of shopping and got to the mall and realized i left my purse at home then when i returned home the door to the dishwasher was left open so my dishes never washed so O.C.D is all for me. maybe its not your cup of tea or maybe it is. good luck though and maybe if you sat down and thought about how you want things in your house write down a plan of action and try it. believe it or not but people with ADD and ADHD are actually very smart people its just a matter of keeping your self interested you can if you make your self.

If there is a Container Store in your current neighborhood you will be amazed at all the tubs, files and containers available. Target or even Walmart also have many items by Rubbermaid and others.
When I move to a new home I first clean everything before the truck gets there. Then I put down white ribbed plastic from the Container Store in every horizontal surface but especially in the kitchen and bathrooms. For the linen closet I use paper liners from TJ Maxx.
I pack everything by room and put it all on a spreadsheet. If this is too much for you you can skip the spreadsheet but it helps to know what you have if box 36 and 102 don’t show up and you need to document the loss.
I use temporary blinds until I either get plantation shutters made or make curtains. You can buy them at Home Depot, Lowe’s or even Jo Ann fabrics. They look better than old sheets.
I use the 50 pack black felted hangers from Bed, Bath and Beyond as they are narrow and hold a lot. I also buy stacked hangers there along with pant hangers with clips.
Since we don’t have room for an office in our current house, files for financial, insurance, warranties, car repair, medical etc are kept in separate portable tubs with each labeled. It makes it easy to file everything or look up medical bills. In my case it was easy to be ready when the August fires caused evacuation near LA.
A lot of the ease of organizing is to have room for everything or if not, labeled bins to store in the garage or extra closet space, attic or basement. There are books on the subject but you don’t have any time to go buy one as it will take lots of time to pack. Good luck!
