Wow! I got this book from my library and wanted to share. It's called "Organizing Solutions for People with ADHD" by Susan Pinsky. I got it as an ebook from Libby.
I am not diagnosed with ADHD, but suspect I do have it after researching for my child. I just started this book and it already has some great tips.
The book's focus is how to reduce clutter and make your life more efficient. The tips seem practical for everyone, even if you don't have ADHD.
Here's a quote: "If you reduce the number of clothes, towels and linens you own, you will have fewer piles of dirty and clean laundry hanging a ..read more

My partner and I have been dating for over 2 years and it’s going well. Our homes are about 40 minutes away and over the last year, I’ve hardly been at my house. He wants me to sell to move in officially and I do too. Better to sell now than things going wrong with house since I’m not there much. I work much closer to his house than mine, so weekdays I stay there and the last 6 weeks I’ve spent the whole weekend my house and try to get things ready to sell the house.
The problem is that I’m not going fast enough to make enough progress in the time I wanted. I’m super busy at work and don’t fe ..read more

For most of my life, I’ve lived in a relatively small room, made smaller by my bed, desk, a shelves for clothes, books, and storage boxes that house items I still have attachments to like old artworks, other sentimental items, etc. The parting/cleaning of that will come later.
I’ve been thinking about taking part of the konmari method of getting rid of items that no longer “bring me joy,” and I brought it up to my parents, but they advised me to not throw away items that could still have use like bags, stationery items, and other things I’ve “paid for.” I’ve struggled with letting go of thing ..read more

It is almost impossible to decluter my wardrobe with my mom around. She would either request checking the clothes which will take her weeks of f not months, not exaggerating here. Or complain that we always do things without getting back to her or seeking her opinion. Or she would complain that we always bring her more things to do and she is exhasted because of us. It is a very confusing and frustrating situation. This resulted in having accumulated dozend of dresses and other types of clothings as i just kept waiting till she was in a good mood. Which is rare
So i decided to only hand her o ..read more

Decluttering has been a whole emotional journey for me. It's a lot of physical and emotional work and it's hard to let go of things. I find I'm now in a mental place where buying things is difficult and when people give me something as a gift I feel resentful like they put a burden on me.
For example, I love to read but had to get rid of nearly all my books to move. Someone gifted me a heavy book and now I feel resentful because I feel awkward giving it away immediately, but I'm not keeping it because I could have devoted that amount of space to something I actually want to read.

I am decluttering my closet and plan to drop off a lot of usable donations at Goodwill (I may also utilize other thrift store donation centers.). However, I have an old raincoat that no longer keeps the rain out: I remember I got soaked the last time I wore it. I would hate for someone to pick it up at a thrift store, etc., thinking they got a good find, only to get soaked in the rain. Do I just trash it or should I try to find a textile recycling center? Can a textile recycling center even use a busted raincoat?

I have plenty of shirts that I don’t wear, either because they don’t fit me or I don’t want to get rid of them because I earned them from an event.
So I know I can easily get rid of the shirts I can’t fit but I’m always in a battle with my mind that one day I lose weight to be able to wear the shirt again or because the thought of not having enough clothes will constantly run through my head. I take responsibility for my way of thinking on that reason. So what is the best way for me to get rid of the too small items and not feel bad about it?
Also, a lot of my shirts I still have are from spo ..read more
