As someone who has severe ADHD (and has been struggling with getting myself organized, lol) I would say this is all pretty solid advice on how I would want someone to approach working with me. I really appreciate the points you make on how quickly we get exhausted and how you stress that we're not lazy. I would also like to REALLY stress to folks the importance of visual organization and the need to contain things rather than hide them. Break every step to a task down to its absolute most bare bones down to reaching your hand out to open a cabinet or drawer and try to figure out how you can eliminate as many of those micro-steps as possible, ESPECIALLY if it involves having to leave the area
Absolutely SPOT ON tip there friend! All the best to you on your organizing journey. If you're ever in need of virtual organizing services and body doubling I know a gal who does that ;-)
I’m not a professional organizer, just an ND looking for tips and this came up in my feed. I continued listening just out of curiosity and wanted to commend you for this content. I didn’t even know someone like you existed, but it makes me feel so glad you do, and you’re helping others learn how to help their adhd clients and handle them with care. Kudos.
9:40 New years eve. I'm exhausted but it's pretty tidy for guests after 3 days of hyperfocus and 8 hours of sleep in total. Filled bags everywhere hidden to speed things up. You get the picture. My mom: "It's okay. This week you can declutter the rest of the house". And again, another year passes.
Lol I'm ADD and so are my clients. How funny that I'm advising them on the same things I struggle with... although I've improved a lot😂 The one hand test, I call it motion minded but same concept. One client wants me to do their whole house, probably in only a few hours lol so I will definitely talk to them and manage their expectations. Thanks for the great pointers!
I’m completing my first (unpaid) job this weekend. My ADHD, entrepreneurial dads office. This has been a great reference and I plan to post the final product on your FB page to see how I did. Wish me luck!
Oh my goodness! This is SO incredibly helpful! I'm considering starting my own decluttering & re- organizing business, so I've been binge watching your channel. My 26 year old daughter and 15 year old son are ADHD, and I now have a game changing strategy to help them stay organized. Thank you so much! I could totally get into working with ADHD people in this business. I see all of what you're saying!
Im an ADHD cleaner!!😊😊 i clean hard and fast!! People love my energy lol, id like to become a professional organiser too as i totally love sorting out stuff as im on spectrum too xxx good on you for helping ADHD clients too btw xx
Hello there! Had me *ROOOOAAAAAR* with laughter!😂😂😂 You hit the ADHD nail on the head! Enjoyed your insight and kindness on the subject of clients needs. Again thank you ❤
Does anybody know where I can acquire the "H" in ADHD? I only have "ADD" and I could really use some of that "H" to get anything done at all. At least I would get nothing accomplished faster. 🥴
It's interesting how our brains work! Finding the right strategies can really help boost productivity, no matter how you label it. Keep experimenting to find what works for you!
@@honeydew4576 Usually, that's the first thing they tell me. If not, I ask them what challenges them with getting organized. I ask them about habits and lifestyle to determine what strategies will work best. My ADHD organizing strategies work in most cases either way. 🙂🙂

You totally know the needs of someone with ADHD . BEST organization video I've ever seen. Thank You.
Thank you so much! It's important to provide the help that is actually effective :-)
“Several projects” is a vast understatement 😅
Indeed. lol 😂 😆

You hit the ADHD nail on the head! Enjoyed your insight and kindness on the subject of clients needs.
Again thank you ❤
Thank you so much! Your kind words and support really mean a lot.
I watched this to learn more about my ADHD needs. Thank you! This is going to be such a reliefe once i can find a job and finally move out! :D
This is sooooo good! I have ADHD and you pretty much touched on ALL of my issues. Get out of my head! 😂
Glad the info hits well! It's my mission to be helpful :)

Thank you for the great advice!
Always! Thank you T 😊 💓 Happy New Year.

lol!!! Can’t really say it’s better!!
Great content 🙏🏼
Thank you 🙌
How do you know if they are ADHD? Do you talk about that in the consultation?
Absolutely. It's one of the first things that we address during a call. 🙂
@@ispeakorganized Do you ask them directly, "Are you ADHD?" How do you broach that gracefully?
@@honeydew4576 Usually, that's the first thing they tell me. If not, I ask them what challenges them with getting organized. I ask them about habits and lifestyle to determine what strategies will work best. My ADHD organizing strategies work in most cases either way. 🙂🙂
@@ispeakorganized Thanks for your great reply! I am really enjoying your channel.
Plot twist haha I have adhd and I’m looking at trying to become a professional organiser 😂😱🤯
