Baskets 2 Organize

[NotAChevy]

After getting a critical note back from a buddy of mine, who claims my techniques are way too difficult, I decided it was time to find an easier organization tool (technique) that we could all follow.

So, I racked my brain- nothing; I went back through the research- nothing; I even watched numerous Youtube videos! Finally, some 2-3 hours later, it finally hit me- baskets! A typical neurological brain would have come up with this in like 2 minutes, but not mine!

So, baskets you ask? Yes. The concept is simple. Put up to three baskets (designs up to you) in each room. The 1st one is for things staying in that room; the 2nd is for stuff going to another room, and the 3rd is for overflow. Then, you run around the room and put things in the proper basket. This is especially great if you have children- you can teach them to clean up.

I have to admit that I tried it last night for the 1st time and love it. What do you think?

This is like the time I was so proud of myself for figuring out that I could put presents in bags instead of wrapping them with paper, ribbon and tape. My NT friends were like, we’ve been doing this forever 🤦🏻‍♀️ But yes, baskets! Sounds like a great plan. I put one basket on each floor for things that go to another floor. There’s a book called Organizing with ADHD that I love if you are looking for other (easy) organizing tips.

Haha, you are clearly a basket case. I do the running around picking things up and taking them with me, then on arrival where they belong pick up something there etc. Or pick up as much as I can from that room then wander to the places stuff needs to go. Might try the basket thing whereby my frugal self may just use cardboard boxes. May try to improve my throwing skills whilst I'm at it. Or carry a box around with me mmmh. Lots of variations conceivable.
