This was such a helpful and engaging presentation. Usually presentations are filled with so much technical jargon that I don’t have the brain space to apply it to my life. This was remarkable. I never thought about life phases as it relates to presentation. I never thought of storage as you “home store” even though that is how I organize and areas that are organized in that way have stayed organized for years.
Thank you for say this! Something I would do when you pull out the archives during the holiday is record it so that you have a video memory of the items and the new stories they have shared with you.
I like that you said not to start in family spaces because other people aren’t in your control. You can’t make them use the system but you can control you using your own system. It’s easier to feel like that category is complete.
I am ADHD and really appreciated the framework she taught in this video. The 20 year season cycle, the 3 year org cycle, not to attack family area first bc they will need recurring attention, loves the storage as prepaid store ( i did that for my beauty and medical supplies and it also helps with not running out of meds), the self-permission for passion-projects (yea adhd gives me 15 at a time), the big part about teaching kids the mini-apartment idea.... I loved this because it isnt the same old clutterbug stuff. Cas never helped me, and many others are claiming how constant buying of dollar store or hobby lobby stuff somehow leads to organization.Cant wait to listen to her podcasts and watch her videos. Thank you Attitude!
I am laugh/crying my way through this. Recently moved across country, after retiring into an ancient house that has NO closets and very few options of space to put a closet-knee walls upstairs-if and when I can get the help to build them. I love the cube demos. So, so true in every way.
this was awesome and helpful to me... Thankyou!❤
Not everyone moves along at the same pace and age, though. I would’ve enjoyed it more if it was more general about the stages, not specifying age. Especially because people with ADHD tend to mature more slowly or be behind their peers in certain ways. She seemed really focused on age and making assumptions.
Is there Professional Organizer help for someone on a fixed income? I have a friend who lives on the other side of the continent, in Canada, age 70, who needs help, but has a very limited income. Are there any organizations that help fund Seniors with ADHD?
24:56 I'm sorry but is she going to get to specifics? The general principals make sense and are good, but I would like to hear some specific examples, not just "So then you organise your [insert area here]" but with no specific suggestions or examples. It might have helped if the page to the right was legible but it's not. It's all blurred.
26:00 LOL I commented too soon!
Guess who’s moving next week to a smaller space and has to get rid of SO MUCH CRAP! Timely webinar. :-)
This was disappointing. She made effectively no reference to ADHD, how it affects organisation or how to organise yourself with ADHD.
I agree. I tried very hard to keep watching, but there was just nothing promising to grab my attention.
Thanks for commenting, that’s exactly why I wanted to see this! Just an fyi look up Cas from Clutterbug. She is professional organizer BUT SHE SUFFERS ADHD!
