[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 332834, member: 3907"] JJJ, I know it feels strange to have order in your surroundings. At first everything looks so stark and bare. But just give it a little time. You may grow to like it. A lot. I can completely relate to this. I find that having clutter around short-circuits my head and makes my ADHD MUCH MUCH worse. I can get into a shiny-object loop in seconds if there's lots of stuff out on the flat surfaces, instead of put away. This is so very true. I've found that this approach has allowed me to keep ahead of the twin-mess, and rein in the Little easy child and husband messes. Sadly, they're all pile-it-up-and-deal-with-it-later-ers, but I'm slowly working on all of them. husband has a "pile cabinet" on his desk that's been accumulating for years. Fortunately it's in the basement so I don't have to look at it all the time. This is a BIG one. Not just because you might want to spontaneously have company over, but also because you don't have to face the prospect of dirty dishes to wash and beds to make when you come home, because they're already done. I've found that my children, especially the Aspie ones (and that list seems to be growing) function so much better in an orderly environment. They can think, they follow rules better, they're better tempered, don't whine to me about being bored as often (possibly because they can find their toys and DVDs?) Congratulations on a job well done. [/QUOTE]
