During our lives, certain chapters close so new one's can begin. This is one of those times. I decided to record one last video in this studio to remember the time we spent here. Thank you so much to everyone who has supported us through the years and made this move into a new chapter for How to ADHD possible!! Now lets get to the last video I'm making in this studio and tour our new ADHD friendly studio!

"It's ADHD friendly, not ADHD perfect" - I really need to keep that in mind as I keep putting my office together.
There is no such thing as “ADHD perfect” because once we make it “perfect” we change our mind and try to make it a different “perfect”.
Da struggle is real, yo. Lol.
truth... Amen.. or Awoman 10L
The notification said something like "this is the last video I'm making...." and I admit I panicked a bit while tapping on it...
I had the exact same thought!
Lol I had the same reaction! 🙃
How's that for a shot of accidental adrenaline in the . So sorry for the title clipping... definitely didn't think about that! 😅😂
Me too! I said "What?!" out loud!
Me too
"It's an accommodation." Thank you for saying those words out loud.
Many of us have a hard time using things that make our lives easier, because somehow they're "unnecessary" ("can't you *technically* go without it?"), therefore buying it is "wasteful" and using it is "lazy."
"This thing makes my life easier" is easy to dismiss. "This is an accommodation" more directly addresses the importance somehow.
My oldest adult son has ADHD and even he asks me why I have to set a timer when I boil noodles, or ANY TIME I turn on the stove.
Because I don't want to burn the house down, that's why.
Can't I just stay in the kitchen for 3 minutes?
NO I CANNOT.
I don't quite understand why people think I should stop "depending on" these simple things that help me, that don't hurt anybody but that *they* dont need or feel is necessary. Even when I try to make my life a bit easier, people think I should "try harder" 🤔 even some who know better.
@@ultravioletpisces3666 a timer is the smart thing to do. No point trying to be superwoman only to end up a firefighter.
"I'm really tired so I'm forgetting words"
Jess, we know that you have ADHD and that words exist just so we can forget them when we need them.
omg I still struggle so f'in much when im trying to articulate in a conversation.... and a simple word wont come to my mind and always makes me stutter because its RIGHT THERE LIKE I KNOW IT but its too late before im just given up or not taken as seriously..... its frustrating... ive learned ot mask the stutter by just simply stopping and using a "lack of better words" instead but it just angers me inside i cant speak fluently like others.
I didn’t know I would ever relate to other ADHDers (or just ppl in general) until I found this channel, which I was shocked to see it existed in the first place. I’m glad to know someone has taken the initiative to make ADHD known and spread awareness on it. Thank you Jess! I’m a recent subscriber btw
Thanks to Jessica I finally got my adhd diagnosis last year at the age of 40
Awwwwwww, that's so great to hear!! Finding like-minded people just can feel so... refreshing
I hate that I know I have it but for some reason I'm not believed but at least I know how to handle a lot of the issues now. I was actually able to be on time for a whole week Which NEVER happened before
So ADHD friendly, it’s perfection! 🤘🏻
Welcome to the fam😊
I saw your Ted talk a couple of years ago. I felt really sad for you and how horrible it must be to have ADHD. I then started watching more of your content and it dawned on me that you were in fact describing my life. After procrastinating for at least a year and a half, I finally saw a psychiatrist yesterday. I have a diagnosis. I'm so sad I never got the support I so needed as a kid. But without you I would have spent the rest of my life thinking I was just naturally careless, spacey and incompetent, despite trying so incredibly hard to the point of burnout to do better. I didn't think I had a problem, I thought I WAS the problem. Thank you so much for what you do.
♥♥♥
Same. I was diagnosed one year ago, at 46. The past year has been the most amazing journey of learning to truly love and appreciate myself (versus always beating myself up) and how to work smarter with my ADHD brain instead of constantly trying to fight my natural rhythms. The result has been my happiest self, my already successful career suddenly taking off like a rocket, and becoming a better mom, wife, daughter, sister, employer, friend, etc. ❤ Your best life is ahead! 🎉
Welcome to our world - we’re a friendly (if spacey) bunch 😊 I was diagnosed in my late 30s and am almost 50 now, still learning & growing.
I really like how you touched on how disposable dishes and cutlery can be a big quality of life issue for those of us with ADHD. My home office is attached to my garage and I've set up a little alcove as a kitchenette so that I don't have to keep going in and out of the house all the time when I want to grab a drink or a quick bite while I'm working. I used to keep plastic dishes in there that I'd have to take back into the house to wash, but they'd inevitably end up as piles of dirty dishes in my office. Having something that I can just toss without having to remember to bring it back into the house has been a game changer in helping to reduce the clutter around me while I work.
For anyone who struggles with dishes and has little space. A countertop dishwasher on a cart saved me in my last tiny kitchen. I still used disposable plates and stuff but it helped cut back on the number of cups and silverware I was purchasing. I could fill it from a (clean) bucket and it would drain into a bucket so it didn’t *have* to sit by my sink or a drain. I also put a camping sink in the sink for dirty dishes and would move them out of the sink when I needed the sink empty and free of dishes and it also worked to carry the dishes over to the small dishwasher. I picked one with a clear front so I could watch the dishes being washed too. It was quite soothing. No judgement on using disposables because I totally used those too! It was definitely a combination of what my budget would allow.
We purchased a counter top dishwasher many years ago because the apartment does not have a dishwasher installed. we were later told by management that we could not use the dishwasher because it uses up too much water. So we have gone back to doing dishes in the sink. The dishwasher now just sits there taking up bench space...
FYI if you live in an apt bldg
@@francescathomas3502 I'm surprised they thought that. I read somewhere that dishwashers use less water than washing by hand. Sorry that they weren't very understanding 😕
we're re-doing our basement so I can use it as my office/youtube studio and this video is JUST what I was needing! I want to make it as ADHD/executive function friendly as possible and these are some great tips. excited for the new space!!!
Oh good!! Glad it can be of use now!! Good luck with re-doing your basement!!
That’s what I did! I turned a windowless bedroom into my RUclips studio. It’s awesome. So dark and awesome.
The pile of clothes and saying you should put a laundry basket there makes me think of a school of user-focused design that looks at the ways people interact with a system, and then builds those natural patterns into the design.
I think it’s sometimes called “paving the desire paths”, which are the bits of trampled ground where people have made their own path in the absence of formal walkways.
“It’s ADHD-friendly, not ADHD-perfect.”
That was perfect! AND friendly!
I would love to meet your team and learn more about the logistics of how y'all make a video.
We do hope to showcase the team a little bit more! But right now we got some high priority things we gotta get done first -- plus doing our due diligence of making sure that we don't accidentally publicise someone who didn't want to be publicised. 🧡 But yes!!! Maybe one day we'll be able to shoot a video about... shooting videos! 😄
Yes I always assumed it was a one woman project
Honestly still unsure if I am ADHD or not as I have never been formally diagnosed due to being broke.
I relate very strongly to most of your videos and have found that suggestions from you and other brains have helped improve the quality of my life, so a rose by any other name...
It's 3am here, and I have just taken the doors off the upstairs rooms.
Your videos have had me starting to think I may just be different, not incompetent. 🤠
You got dis 👍
Jessica I want you to know that you have changed my life and inspired me to spread the knowledge I learned here by translating your videos into Persian and now lots of Iranian people are feeling the same way I felt when I stumbled upon your channel by luck. You have done so muuuch that if you don't do anything else in your life it's still astonishing. I wash you a long, healthy, happy and successful life with your husband.🌹
I started to watch your channel a few years ago when I was trying to learn more about ADHD to help my son. Then I realized I also have ADHD and was diagnosed this year. Thanks for your content, it's been helpful!
I never realized that your studio was a different building from your house. Cool to see you getting an upgrade!
RANDOM COMPLIMENT: you're very pretty and your hair looks very nice 😊
I'm obsessed with her hair, its a full distraction for me at least once in every video. Lol.
I love the new space! If I may give you one tiny recommendation though: set your desk to be lower for working so it's more ergonomic. Your elbows should be at a 90° angle and rather close to your body 🙂This goes for both the standing & sitting height.
I just can't imagine this, can you elaborate on this? Like between what should be a 90° angle, body and elbow or elbow and desk or just the angle your arm is bend?
I second this. I noticed that right away when I saw her at her desk. Sitting desk height is too high and will cause aches/pains/potential musculoskeletal issues over time.
@moon girl: The elbows should be bent at 90 degrees, not splaying out to the side from the body. This allows the wrists to be in a neutral position. It will help prevent issues like carpal tunnel from developing. Google ergonomic desk setup for more info. There are great graphics to clarify this.
@@charitykennedy4020 ah okay thanks😊
I loved the tour!
Literally last week I bought a stream deck and the potential for ADHDers is MASSIVE!!! If you ever made a full video about the stream deck, that would be SO COOL!!
And thanks for all the inspo because I’m redoing my bedroom/office/studio right now and now I have some new ideas😍
That would be a great video! Congrats on the new space!
an ADHD friendly space that is 95% of the way there but still needs some finishing touches is perhaps one of the most ADHD things I have heard...
I'm constantly trying to make my studio free of clutter but it's very hard. I'm currently trying to get diagnosed for ADHD which is very hard to get for where I am. your videos have helped me to cope so thank you.
8:18 peeped the Rocketbook! I got a Fusion which is MUCH more ADHD-friendly for my planner/notetaking/scribbly/doodly needs! I used the grid paper to map out my office by measuring the dimensions of the room and every piece of furniture I wanted in it. It looks like art so I haven't erased it yet...also it totally worked!
My “ADHD friendly” studio is a windowless room in my basement. It’s surrounded by concrete walls so it’s basically soundproof.
I painted it black because, ya know, thug life. I hung black paintings on the wall because I’m weird. Actually, i painted the walls black because I can control my colored lights better with the matte black walls.
It’s a little quiet dark sanctuary o’ goodness and I love it.
mine is literally my bedroom with some blackout curtains and led lights lol.
@@tristantheoofer2 You should upgrade to a smartbulb. You can make them any color you want. I love those things.
Putting dog stuff under something so you don't trip is a whole mood, I also have a small dog and it's useful sometimes! But I also have to be careful to have things that I regularly pick up easily accessible (without a thing above I can hit my head off when bending down), so for example his water bowl is actually not under anything, but just beside a door where I noticed I never step, that's been working out great! Except I regularly throw toys into it accidentally.... while attempting to throw them through the doorway...
You have the most authentic and relatable product placement ads I have ever seen. I actually watch the ads because of the way you introduce the products/tools. I can tell you are very thoughtful with the selection of these sponsors. Thank you for that.
I’m happy for you! This studio insight is amazing- my first reaction was, “How can she function facing all that big chaotic lighting/filming equipment??” (Because Id be utterly distracted!). I’ve imagined the entire space looking like your soothing background 😅. Major kudos for all you’ve accomplished in that small but wonderful little studio!💖
Hi Jesica! There is this TINY dishwasher for office which can have like a few plates or like 4 coffee cups. Its a lot more ecofriendly then the disposable stuff, and in long term might actually be cost effective! Maybe consider it?
Love you Jessica ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have ADHD too and it's really hard for me sometime . And whenever I'm free I watch you videos and feel better ❤️❤️🥰🥰
Awwwwww, definitely glad the videos give you a place to be to feel better! That means so much!! 😭🧡 Thank you for sharing!!
Sooo there Omana!
@@HowtoADHD Jessica can't wait for your book! Any chance you will do a book signing tour?
Thank you so much for showing us your single use dishes and calling it an accommodation!! I've been feeling guilty lately for using single use plates, cups, and cutlery during the last few months living in the place I'm about to move out of. The place does not have a dishwasher (one of the reasons I'm moving out - I really thought I could handle the absence of a dishwasher when the rest of the house was so nice), and after a few months of living there, I gave up trying to stay on top of dishwashing. When my friends came over for sleep-over, I told them I had one very strict rule in the house: If they used it, they washed it, meaning I understood completely if they wanted to not use the single use dishes, but they would have to do wash it themselves if they chose the regular ones.
Sorry for long post, I just wanted to say thank you. It means a lot that you show us these things, and tell us it's OK to make adjustments to "normal" when we need to. I don't have ADHD, btw, not on the paper, anyway, but your videos are crazy helpful to me. Thank you so so much!!
Still having light bulb moments when watching these videos. "So that is why I do that or feel that way". I always want snacks at my desk, as something for my hands to do is how I always thought of it. I didn't link it to ADHD till she mentioned it. Thank you for creating your videos, they have helped so much.
Hi there 😄 you've a gorgeous picture on your profile! Just decided to stop by and say hi!! I hope my compliment is appreciated .
@@jacksonpeterson7080 Thank you.
@@teacakes_13 You're welcome. Where are you from?
This is a repost of a comment I made on a previous video. You bringing up the Stream Deck made me want to post it here as well.
When the pandemic hit and I wasn't able to be as social, I had a lot more free time on my hands. Due to this, I used the money that I would normally spend while being social (going to the movies, out to dinner, etc) and that free time to set my apartment up with smart devices. Over the course of about 2.5 years, my apartment is mostly run by smart technology (mainly light bulbs/switches, a smart lock for my front door, among a few other handy devices).
I also have an Alexa to help control these devices and I use it to help me with notifications, set reminders to switch my laundry over, have my shopping list on my Alexa app, among other things. In the morning, I just say "Alexa, good morning" and it tells me the date, weather, my schedule for the day and schedule for the next day (appointments and the such). I have it connected to my online calendar which I keep on my phone. I made it a habit so that when I get an appointment made for something, I immediately add it to my calendar.
Having routines set up on my Alexa to turn off my lights and lock my front door before bed by just saying "Alexa, time for bed" is very helpful for the anxieties that come with my ADHD. I know not everyone can afford to switch over to smart devices overnight, but I promise you, it is worth it if you have the means to do so. There are some great RUclips channels out there to help you get started; one of my favourites being Smart Home Solver.
It became a fun project and as I got more of my apartment converted to being "smart", I felt my days get more productive and my anxiety levels went down quite a lot.
It isn't a perfect solution though. I still have a pencil & notepad that I keep on my office desk for writing a to-do list (clean the kitchen, brush teeth, put out the trash, etc). I add to it over the course of the week, and I just read through it a few times a day, prioritizing the things that I need to get done first; health, personal hygiene, and daily chores such as laundry, dishes & vacuuming. Once I do those priority ones, I aim to knock 1-3 other things off of the list each day. There are some days when the list will fill up faster than it goes down and there are some days I am able to clear it off completely. But hey, that's ADHD for ya.
That’s awesome! This is exciting news! Can’t wait to see what you folks do in the new space ❤️
Thank you! We can't wait either!
So ridiculously happy for you!!!
thank you so much!!!!!! We are so excited!!! WE CAN'T BELIEVE WE GOT TO DO THIS. AHHHHHHH.
I want that Exercise Bike Chair thing!
This makes me so happy. I get to move to a new one bedroom apartment and I’m very excited to make it adhd friendly and only for me!!!
AHHHHHH that's awesome!!!! Good luck with the move!
Thank you for the studio tours, it’s helped me figure out things to make my space autism friendly for myself.
Aawwww! I love the sign with the lil swimming fishies! I’m so happy for you guys! Yal should be proud of yourselves. Plus the mint kitchenette accessories are sooo cute!!
That was wonderful. I miss having an office outside my home. It was easier to separate work from home. I've been working from home since before the pandemic, but I was already set up for it when it became necessary. The one thing I have working from home is my cat, Dusty who also doubles as a calming toy, a fidget, and an alarm clock. He tells me it's time for lunch, dinner, and bed if I work late. I also don't miss the commute. I love some of the hacks you have, and I'm going to save up for a sit-stand desk.
There are countertop dishwashers out there, but again, without an actual countertop on which to place the dishwasher, that's not really going to work out. The disposable stuff is probably the most reasonable thing, as you're probably not going to remember to take the dirty cutlery back, or remember to restock the clean stuff later.
31 & started ADHD medication today, thank you for your constant updates.
Hey, I hope the medication is helping! Are you noticing a difference yet?
@@BlackCatMagic0 it’s changed my life for the better. I’m doing great
@@Jrobidy2 that's amazing! I'm so happy for you. I got on medication a few months ago and it's been a game changer.
the way didn't read the in this studio part of the title and got so sad that you weren't gonna make any videos
...until I clicked lmao. love your videos!! the new studio looks awesome
OH NO. Oh goodness. 😂 So sorry for the accidental heart attack!!
@@HowtoADHD this is what happens when you watch youtube first thing in the morning haha
The forgetting words when tired was such a lightbulb moment when watching this! Perfectly timed episode. Thank you! Is your shirt from the Latest Kate? Congrats on the new studio!
We have a tendency to take socks off at the end of the day, and always have trouble putting dirty kitchen towels in laundry baskets. We now have a kitchen/living room laundry basket and it's been sooooo helpful. Instead of having to remember to move that dirty laundry to the bedroom (further away), when tidying up one of the rooms, we can just.. toss the socks or towels into a nearby laundry basket! (The kitchen opens right off of the living room). It also keeps us from having random towels and stuff thrown down the basement stairs to where the washer/dryer are. We are looking into maybe moving the washer/dryer upstairs in the future but for now this helps us SO much! My partner also has ADHD, but he is a clutter has to be out person where I'm a clutter has to be hidden and I will have a complete inventory of each box in my head person, so we are trying to figure out how to work together with those things!
lol, I started watching you when I got to the point I was trying to help my 18 yo with ADD organize his room. I expected a bunch of new things to learn and adapt to, but you actually give pretty much the same advice as the cleaning and organizing channels I've been watching the last couple if years to get the rest of the house under control. Is nice to see how you apply the techniques I've learned to work needs since the others focus on household systems.
Good luck in the new space! I just moved too and finally have my own place to set up an ADHD friendly space. This video couldn't have come at a more perfect time.
Niiiiiiice! Best of luck with it's setup!
@@HowtoADHD thanks! Excited to get started!
Great job organizing the whole studio so quickly! I really wish that there were ADHD advocates that could go into the workplace to recommend accommodations!
"It's ADHD friendly, not ADHD perfect"
That made me laugh pretty hard, I need it on a t-shirt.
I love the idea of the Sunday bin! I need to implement that so I don't instantly get overwhelmed when I start cleaning. 😅
So proud and excited for you and your team!! Thank you for helping me through the last year while I learn so much about my brain :)
I was so excited when I saw this video! Congratulations on the new studio! I loved the ideas and may end up incorporating some of them into my own spaces!
What I found is very adhd friendly for me is I take a normal plate and put a paper plate on it so it doesn’t bend and I don’t have to do the dishes
I’m so pleased to see your growth and success! The information from your channel has helped our family so much. Thank you for the work you do. 👏🏻
Adam Savage gives a great tip for storing stuff in a way you will find them later:
If you have to put something away, imagine yourself in the opposite situation, as if you didn't have it and was looking for it. What is the first place you though to look? Put it there with no second though.
Congrats on the upgrade! New studio looks great. Love your videos, keep up the good work 🤍
Way happy for you Jess! I know how fun making a new space yours can be, and I appreciate that you are willing to share the behind the scenes things with us! Enjoy your new studio; I'm looking forward to more of your videos :)
Love your studio set up. I particularly appreciate the ways you’ve devised to avoid tripping over things.
Thank you for making these videos. I love these types of videos. This and your home tour video has given me so many good ideas. I feel like through watching channels like yours and nerdecrafter i've found the confidence to give myself permission to use 'childish' things like fidgets, squishies, sensory toys, fluffy, cozy blankets etc to make myself feel relaxed and make my life easier instead of fighting the world every day. Its been 42 years and i'm tired.
Just found you and so glad I did. This is the time for growth for us!
I'm moving back home after college and your space tips (studio, office and home) are great advice that I'm absolutely going to use!! thank you :)
So excited for you about the new studio! It looks so good! ♡
Congrats on the new space! Can't wait to see what comes next!!
Having a separate studio space is a dream goal of mine. So awesome and such an inspo with the upgrade! Congrats!
Hi, I just started my ADHD journey at 46, 5 days ago! I was listening to a BBC Sports Radio show and before the football (soccer) match commentary, they were discussing ADHD in Adults, during which they listed the symptoms and I scored 9/10, it was like a light bulb going on! So I have contacted my doctor who is referring me for ADHD assessment, which can take over 12 months for my first appointment, so a while for a confirmed diagnosis. Everything makes sense now, just wish I realised earlier. Your old video view rates will go up, as I've just subscribed, and probably like most on your channel, I have to watch each video a few times because I've zoned out for probably the 20th that day 😀. I never realised how many adults suffer. Thank you for educating the world 👍
Really happy for you guys that you've got a new studio (even if you had managed to make the smaller one great too ❤). Wishing you lots of happy and fun creating in there. Love your content 🌻
I clicked out of curiosity, but this was actually really inspiring in terms of useful accommodations. Thank you, and congrats on the new(ish) space!
7:49 I bought a stream deck years ago and it was SO useful I bought another one! I now have the first one doing all the useful computer stuff you have and the 2nd one (on the same desk) hooked up to a smart home hub (home assistant), so I can use it to turn on the office lights, change the AC profile (or turn it on/off), set myself into DND mode so my wife knows I'm in a meeting (or need to focus), it's probably one of the most useful bit of tech I've bought recently.
I'm so happy for you! The new space looks fantastic!
Congrats on the new studio! Looking forward to future video's!
I've never heard of the Sunday bin concept, but I've been doing it for years within Minecraft. I've never thought of doing it in real life as well, that's very interesting
thank you, you help me a lot, I have ADHD and everything you say and your nice words make me so happy and surely many others
Im getting ready to clean and reorganize my room which also means implementing new systems, building on existing ones, and retiring or tweaking ones that didnt work and I’m watching your tour videos for ideas on systems to try
So proud of you Jessica! Been watching since around 80,000 subscribers...you have come a long way and you have only one way to go...UP! You should be proud of yourself.
Such great ideas 💡 keep doing this channel .. your such a bright light :)
I actually watch your videos for a long time but never commented but I loved this video. I'm sooooo happy for you. Thanks to you i found out I have ADHD.I love you so much. You are doing such amazing job for people in this community. Today I felt as if i got promoted or somthing after wathing your video. Be happy.Wish you all the best!!!
I just bought a new home and will soon be setting up an office. Coraling all the things so I have an orderly calming space is something I have struggled with in the past. Thank you for sharing your organizational tips as you show off both studio spaces. 💜
Your a beautiful young lady. I’am happy for you on getting your new studio. Your inspirations to others with ADHD. My daughter is 10 years old but is leaning how to cope with ADHD Watching your videos on our big screen TV. Congratulations on your 1,000,000 subscribers. We love you💕💕👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
What I first noticed was the great light in your new studio! Simply fabulous-of course I think you need to add a kitty, but that’s just me. I’m a huge fan of paper disposable dishes!! 💕
I love how much space you have to work with in the new studio!
Love both studios! Congrats for the new one! Having an ADHD friendly place we can enjoy while we work, it’s a need ;)
Not sure if I can suggest a video or if that's a Patreon only thing, but I would love to see one on how to make an ADHD friendly capsule wardrobe!! I'm trying to declutter the tons of clothes I have, partially to decrease the dreaded laundry task, but also to decrease the amount of spoons it takes to figure out what to wear/get dressed in the morning. Essentially, the basics of a capsule wardrobe, but with ADHD-friendly modifications. For example, I have my pieces of clothing that I love and make me feel like a million bucks, but then I also need a section of my wardrobe to be survival pieces--the comfy, no decisions required clothing that I can throw on instead of staying in pajamas, that I can mess up and spill things on (because ADHD) without getting upset about ruining it. I've also started trying to declutter clothing that I avoid wearing for sensory reasons (polyester fabric, narrow elastic waistband, requires layering) and only purchasing clothing that accommodates my sensory needs. This requires reading the fabric tags and learning which types of fabric are natural fibers versus plastic ones. I'm at the very beginning of my journey and would love a video on clothing decluttering and creating a smaller, ADHD friendly wardrobe!
congratulations on getting this new studio! you totally deserve it. thank you for inspiring so many brains :)
Congratulations for your new Space and thank you for your videos. It helped me a lot to accept myself (it is more difficult to practice your tips but you know step by step) ; and it help me to search to be diagnosed.
At 30 nearly 31 I am currently seeing a psychiatrist specialised in adult adhd diagnostic. I had 2 appointements, I managed to find my scholar reviews. He think that yes adhd could clearly explained my difficulties. And next appointements I will pass the diva 2.0 test and we will see what treatments and accommodation will be needed depending on the results.
So thank you a lot for your work, you are doing a Great job. I have recommend you channel to a lot of people. Thank you and congrats ❤️
Congrats with a new studio! Can't wait for your video in the new studio 😃
Yayyy so happy for you! Congrats! 😍🥹👏🏾👏🏾
So looking at how you organized things it reminds me of the work I do. Lean engineering/ continuous improvement. It genuinely helps me organize my own space and for anyone who wants a crash course I highly recommend looking up a thing called 5S
Sort, set in order, shine, standardize and sustain.
Just love your videos. So entertaining and educational. Thank you for all you do for your RUclips subscribers.
Awwwww, you're welcome! And thank you (and everyone else) for watching along
11:09 it literally never occurred to me that mini-snack grazing is a fidget thing! Every day at work, as soon as my attention dips in the afternoon, i end up grazing on stuff like popcorn or haribo. I thought it was just the sugar providing me with the dopamine, but things that were quicker to eat, like a full size chocolate bar, never hit the spot.
100% feel the organization fixating, I've been reorganizing my tiny room+closet+school+art supplies for the last three days
I love your channel SO much. I am an adult with ADHD, and I greatly appreciate the visibility and tips.
I don't know if you will ever see this comment, but I feel like in your videos you always seem super high functioning. Like you've magically defeated the ADHD monster with so many tips and tricks. I know it's not true and that we only see people at their best, but I would really appreciate a video about getting back on track after executive dysfunction takes over. Thank you so much!!
How cool that you're a fellow knitter!!!! (I may not have actually KNIT anything in a loooong time... I forget where I'm at in my project 😅 but I do love it! 🧶 I also love the mint green mini-kitchen!)
You could put a dish drying closet above the sink, so the water drops into the sink after the dishes are washed (i think that's a common thing in finland actually...? Not sure tho)
So cool!! Congratulations!!
Hi Jessica i LOVE your videos.
I think it's really nice of u to help people with add/adhd like us. It really does help me cordinate and i loved you grounding techniques they help me a lot.
Thanks for all the good work.
You're welcome! We're glad that our content has been helpful to you during your mental health journey! 🧡
THE KITCHENETTE! So cool o: I love the friday(sunday) box idea too, I think I'm going to try that out next
so happy you were able to get the new space! it looks fantastic c:
Definitely paused to read the Scrivener docs for your book 😅
They look like my writing process for papers, which is really validating!
Blessed 😇 to find you and your Channel, I can relate finally to my wonderings needs 😀
Deeeefinitely love my Stream Deck for holding little macros and functions that make launching things easier, especially when I have to do certain repetitive tasks. It's such an underappreciated kind of device
Thank you so much for your videos! :) I was able to relate to them so much, I asked my psychiatrist to check if I have ADHD. Short answer: yes I do. And it has answered SO many questions about why I was different as a kid, and still am different.
I'm getting ready to move and I think I need to do a "Sunday" bin (or whatever day works for me) like as I'm slowly in bursts of interest packing up my current space I've realized I have several totes of miscellaneous things. I know from occasional clearing of these that I will have moments of "why?" but it worked for me to feel better about the clutter that multiplies if not taken care.
Love your beanbag. I work from home since the pandemic and often feel guilty about wanting to work from the sofa or bed, now I am thinking about getting a beanbag and tray. I did spend a month using a shared workspace which was great but I can't afford it long term. I only have a few more weeks before I go on adoption leave so ideas for when I come back to work. Enjoy your new space
I keep setting up and dismantling my desk area. It's never right. I'm starting to feel like this constant state of flux, dissatisfaction, compromise and tweaking *is* how it'll continue to be.
