  As an ADHD brain, Clutterbug has completely changed my life! I finally have control over my living space, at least 80% of the time. And the 20% no longer paralyzes me.

  It’s not a “real” DIY project until someone stops, takes a deep breath, and yells, “who wants to go to the hardware store!?” So you’re doing things perfectly!

  You did such an incredible job on this room AND this video! I am feeling so motivated all over again! Let's grab our swords (trash bag) and slay the clutter together!! Also, I'm totally coming to stay in your guest room!

  as an autistic ADHD male, seeing your husband getting in on the action is really important. us guys need space as well. my bedroom is my doom room, which is why i am getting a shelf to make better use of vertical space and help keep things organized. it will still be chaos, but it will be easier to manage chaos.

  Hi @HowtoADHD ! I’m only a few minutes into the video and intend to watch the rest but had a big epiphany and request! Would y’all be willing to do a video on ADHD and grief? I watched Cas’s video when it came out but at the time didn’t think about how grief would impact the executive functioning around this project. I lost my dad last year and when I did my ADHD symptoms were off the charts. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone tackle that specific topic yet and think it would be really helpful for the community.

  My mom was a good woman, but my gosh! She was such a hoarder. She lived with us the last 12 years of her life, and she made our house SO non ADHD friendly (for us, not for her).<br><br>She died in July, and since then, me and my husband have been transforming our little ranch house into OUR space. <br><br>You and Cass have helped me SO MUCH with making every single room such a sensory relief. I wish so bad I could show you guys and just hug you for everything you&apos;ve helped us (especially me) to become.<br><br>You guys are gifts from God to this world, and absolutely to me.

  Great, Jessica, for recognizing and asking for help. That is a challenge for us because we have masked for so long, and tried to act how we think is &nbsp;&quot;NORMAL ,&quot; but really is partly our assumptions about &quot;normal.&quot;

  My new favorite hack for IKEA (or similar): Before you go shopping, take photos of your space *and draw on the measurements*! Just open your normal photo editing app and annotate it with the width of the closet or height of the curtain rod or whatever else would be helpful.<br><br>That way, if you see a nice basket/shelf/bin/curtain/etc. you can use the photo for reference to decide if it fits or not. Bonus points for carrying a small tape measure in your purse so you can measure things that don&apos;t have clear dimensions. <br><br>I take it a step further and have an album in my phone where I store dimension photos, as well as things like Halloween or Christmas decorations so I don&apos;t need to remember where I put everything last year. It&apos;s been a true game changer so I don&apos;t wind up with a ton of things setting up camp in my living room while I keep forgetting to return them.
