I love your tips for decluttering. Great effective, simple tips written in a precise easy to understand manner. I still find that it is really helpful to have someone either a friend or a declutterer to help. Although decluttering is what I do for a living I also have moments when I prefer the support of a friend to help me with a decluttering project ie. a couple of months after the birth of my daughter (after months of sleeples nights & purchases it was time to purge all the unwanted baby stuff). It makes it really makes more enjoyable an experience & two set of hands are better then one. Hi, I’m a professional organiser/declutter with ADD! I love your tips for decluttering.

I think your tips are very good for organizing while dealing with ADD or ADHD. Many people with ADD or ADHD have WAY more than they need because thoughtful and deliberate decision making is a struggle. They therefore, have an abundance of "stuff". I am a fan of the keep one thing, toss one thing plan. Once the decluttering is done, I suggest they buy colored containers to contain their items. Color makes retrieval easier!

I threw out 2 80l black bags, and 7 25 liter plastic bags, all full of who-knows-what, and I can only think of ONE THING that I threw away that I think I should have kept- and it was only an old t-shirt. When you are getting listless, having a good friend to pull you back in is great- and having someone to chat to while I do it keeps me there in my room, emptying my wardrobes. I guess having Aideen there distracts me from how bored I am! I had a friend come over, sit on my bed, and pretty much tell me to throw everything out.

Each Tuesday you pick one task to "tackle", you do it, and then you blog about it. Since I love blogging, Tackle It Tuesday gives me the motivation I need to do one piece of a bigger project every week! Cool, right?
