The best way to organize a closet, especially with ADHD, is to tailor it to your needs. A client’s closet was optimized by assessing her requirements, zoning the space, and sorting and decluttering her clothes. Key steps include: identifying needs, creating specific zones, and methodically decluttering while addressing emotional attachments.
There are many ways we can be disorganized –and not finishing projects is one of the worst.
It can be especially hard for people with ADHD. Unfinished projects create a string of broken promises that damage relationships and cause self-doubt.
Mary, a lifelong clothes lover, faced a clutter crisis with her wardrobe, which led to her living out of laundry baskets and wearing the same few outfits. With professional organizing help, she decluttered, creating a system based on color-coordinated seasonal outfits that simplified choosing what to wear. This shift not only freed up space but also taught her the drawbacks of excessive choices. Through letting go of clothes that represented her past, Mary’s bedroom transformed into a functional, joyful space.
