I had no idea I could be so proud of someone I’ve never even met. I’ve been watching your channel for about 6 months, and I’m just amazed by your progress. Thanks for letting us in and sharing not just decluttering, but your thought process as well. When I watched videos from several years ago there is such a huge difference to your ability to let go. Keep up the good work. I’m excited to see that basement finished!
Oh my goodness, thank you so so much ❤️🙏🏻❤️ I have tears in my eyes, your message means everything to my heart, thank you for such an amazing friend to me 🦄💜🌟🦄💜🌟
I used to have my own version of "Don't put it down, put it away." except it was "Don't do it later, do it now." It did help a lot until I stopped doing it because it drove me bonkers that my roommate didn't have the same energy and in order to remain in good terms I had to calm down on it. Now I have a place of my own and have to learn to do it all over again.
Dishwash hack: when you unload the dishwasher put in dish soap for the next load. That way everyone in the family knows if there is soap it is dirty. If there isn’t soap it is clean. I couldn’t keep up on changing the sign. The soap trick has worked for me.
Don't put it down, put it away. Can't wait until I get to that stage. I have so much junk scattered everywhere that nothing has a home. When I try to make headway, sometimes I just stand there holding the item and no place to put it away. I will have to watch your beginning videos to help me work through this process. You should be proud of yourself. I know I admire you for all you have accomplished.
I have been using that trick of turning the medicine bottles upside down and then by the end of the day setting them all back upright for years. It has saved me a lot of grief.
I specifically searched for ADHD friendly organization and this video came up. I was getting overwhelmed by all the unkind, toxic levels of minimalism and was honestly starting to feel like I didn't want to keep on with my cleaning/organizing journey. This has been the refresh I needed and I plan to watch more videos. So far this year, I've consolidated and organized 2 junk drawers into 1, turned the freed up drawer into a tea/honey/coffee drawer which is right under my new coffee station I set up and I'm half way done with 2 bathrooms. One was incredibly overwhelming because for 3 years it became the "I dunno where to put it" room. Since they're right next to each other (weird 1990 condo for $100 please) I've been doing the same phase in both bathrooms before moving on to the next phase because I'm afraid both won't get done otherwise. I'm excited to say I should be able to take a long, hot bath soon. I struggle with ADHD that went undiagnosed for over 30yrs and chronic pain/severe arthritis. So, if it takes me a whole year to do it all, so be it. A psychologist I got to speak to who specializes in helping clinical hoarding said slow and steady, one small bite at a time over 12-18mo is healthiest anyway. He likened it to weight loss. If you do small bits at a time, you're more likely to keep up with it as maintaining the already accomplished bits gets folded into your routine.
RIGHT!? "throw it out if you can replace it in under 20 minutes for under 20 dollars"... so like.. they want me to rebuy soap every single day? Minimalism is for rich people with a lot of free time I think
Some thing that helps me clean up the kitchen is to look from left to right and put away the next thing. So I start at the microwave and move clockwise until I'm back at the microwave. It works better for me than looking for like items or the easiest things or all the things that go in the pantry. I might make three trips to the pantry but somehow it works better and I get a little exercise. Also if I get distracted I can simple start back at the microwave and look to the right and find what is next.
That's how I was taught to clean hotel rooms ... start on one side of the door and work around the room. After you have decluttered it works well. A really messy room might need two circuits: one for removing trash and clutter, then second one to actually clean surfaces.
My dishwasher is a place only for dirty dishes. Last thing before bed: start the dishwasher. In the morning I unload it while the coffee machine works. So I can Store the dirty dishes in the dishwasher. The only way I can keep my counters clean. But I still need a lot of Energy for this routine
These systems are really working great for you, well done. I appreciate when you explain the mindset of ADHD and hoarding it helps me be a little kinder to myself. Thank you so much. Miss Pepper is such a treasure. Stay safe and healthy. Mary, Joes wife 💪👍👏🙏💐🐈🦄
I have watched your channel from almost the beginning and I am so amazed at how much you done and learned along the way. Finding strategies that will turn into habits is a must for an ADHD person ( I am one!) You and your family (including your precious Pepper) must be so proud of how much you have accomplished and achieved. I can't wait to see the basement finished and how you put those new organized strategies and habits into place there! Huge pat on the back for you!
I love this! As a fellow adhder I relate to this a lot. I always say if I can't see it I will forget about it. So I have to find a balance between less clutter and being minimal, nut also having things within my reach as you do. Baskets and labels are a friend or clear bins! I also have to clean as I cook or I get incredibly overwhelmed afterwards and I just end up not cooking as much like I would like to. Husband works a lot and shouldn't have to cook all the time, the kids love when I bake ☺️ Thank you for always putting out info about us neurodivergent humans and normalizing it!
Since I am so early, I just wanted to say thank you for the inspirations and explaination about things like hoarding and ADHD because my bf has ADHD aswell and you help me understand it better and better. Thanks and I hope you have a great week. Greetings from Germany:)
This makes my heart sooooo happy!! My hope in being so vulnerable in my disorders is that it brings understanding and heals relationships. So to hear that it helps you understand your BF better, it feels like my life’s purpose is bring fulfilled!! Oh, we’re also forgetful and tend to be late…we truly don’t mean too!!! Lol ❤️ 🇩🇪 🖤
Kudos to you working with your ADHD to make your life easier and that of your family. I am proud of the steps you have taken over the years and I myself have been encouraged.
What I love most about your channel is you’re not like: I was a hoarder and then I cleaned and now I’m all better and so can you! If you buy my binder of tasks or course or hire me to coach you… I love that this is a constant struggle for you because a lot of us are dealing with this and it doesn’t stop if you put a monumental effort into it one week and the. Exhaust yourself to the point you refuse to do anything after for like a month. That you are making consistent, manageable changes to reprogram your subconscious is the power the rest of us can count on as we see your progress. Doing awesome! Keep up the great work! So grateful for this inspiration! Like you have no idea. ❤🎉 THANK YOU! 🙏
It is looking so good! “Don’t put it down, put it away” is also what helps keep my spaces organized. I actually hear ‘the minimal mom’ in my head when I am about to put something down and thinking “I will deal with this later” - no, go put it to its final destination. And also the night routine in the kitchen clearing it for the next day, helps me too. Followed you for a year or two now and always excitingly waiting to see what your up to. This video was really nice to see how you are managing to keep up your spaces and what is working. Greetings from Denmark/Sweden! /Jessica
THE BINS AND BASKETS WORK! Dollar Tree is my friend lol. I feel great watching this knowing that I am already doing these things . Its still a struggle.
Wow! I had drifted away from your channel.., in the interim have been diagnosed with ADHD too!! The reason I had been so addicted to your channel in the first place is I resonated with your struggles; I have been struggling with some degree of hoarding, disorganisation etc as well as the cleaning as I go. So, jumping back in, a year later seeing and hearing your ADHD hacks is so helpful to me! I’ve got some catching up to do! I’m going to add your mantra- don’t put it down, put it away - to a mantra I have let go of a little as well which was - everything needs a home. You’ve shown me… first set up the home for everything (or re-home it to the thrift store etc) and then the daily habit isn’t so bad… You are very inspirational. ❣️
I'm so excited: I do the same thing with my meds---after I take one, I put the bottle back upside down. I'm so excited to see someone else doing the same thing I do and for the same reason! Thank you for sharing these videos!
Have you checked out which clutterbug organization type you are? You are doing so great. I love how you grow and how much more self-reflective you get. It is so cool to her you say 'That works for me.... This I had to tweak a bit etc.'. That would not have been possible a couple of years ago. I am so proud of you! Always looking forward to your videos 💜
I was just diagnosed with ADD/Bipolar 2 in october 2022. I love your saying... Dont put it down, put it away.. i am just starting my decluttering journey,. Not sure if I am a hoarder but i am. Prolly borderline if not full. Fledged.
Unrelated but make sure to check your sunscreens! Banana boat just released a list of products that were found to have cancer causing ingredients (neutragena has a list out as well and i had 3 products on that list 🙃). Be safe momma!
I love this! I love how validating this is and that systems that work the best for my brain are not aesthetically pleasing but they’re quick and they work. Even more that things should be stored close to where the action is. “My mind will jump.” Ha! That’s me. ❤
Omg!!! I have a daughter, now and adult, with ADHD, whom I tried very hard to simplify every step of her life when I had control of most of it. I clicked on this not realizing who you were!!! I recognized you voice immediately. You have been such an example of humility in deciding to video the conquering of your clutter, emotionally and household.
I have ADHD too and I’m going to try labeling like you did! I’m a minimalist and even though I don’t have much stuff, it STILL gets messy. I don’t know how. I literally just don’t have hardly anything. That darn ADHD 😰
Being ADD all those tips are how I do my organization too. For meds and vitamins, I had to get one of those daily pill organizers. That way I knew I had taken it. You're doing a great job.
I've never watched your channel before and I'm not even one minute into the video yet--but seeing that pad wrapper on your bathroom counter hit so hard for me :,) thank you for showing it; I know some women would be embarrassed but honestly I do the exact same thing
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING!!!❤️❤️❤️ I super appreciate your self awareness and explaining the ADHD through Ty process (I’m learning more and more that a lot of the things I do are due to my ADHD). I super appreciate the fact that your channel is called “A hoarder’s heart” cuz I’m a hoarder and I have ADHD and I want to work on overcoming my hoarding habits. Thank you for sharing what works well for you! I super appreciate you!
I take meds and vitamins every day. I bought 3 weekly pill organizers and fill them up. I put all back stock away and the other 2 weeks put away. I leave the 1 week organizer out. I know by looking if I’ve missed a day. That would help clear that big basket off your counter and all you would have is the little organizer. Plus you wouldn’t have to open every bottle every day. And I refill them every 3 weeks at one time. I hope this helps.
Wow. This is the first video Ive ever seen. Id love to see more video. I would be so happy if I could maintain an organized space for 6 months. Thats amazing.
It’s been awhile since I’ve watched your videos and OMG you have come so far and done so well!!! I was one of those begging you to be evaluated for ADHD. I’m so proud of you!!
omg! "don't put it down, put it away" has become my motto. It will change my life. With my ADD I will get a pen from the junk drawer, write a note on the counter directly above it, then walk away to take care of the note. the pen will stay there for days, in the way, just being clutter. I have been trying to say this any time I am tempted to leave something out that is easy to put away. also when I take off my clothes, I leave them on the floor even if I won't wear them tomorrow. Now I force myself to walk to the closet to hang up, or I have a drawer for "worn but not dirty." (another tip for ADD I have S hooks for my pants and shorts. That way they can be easily hung but with my ADD I will never get a hanger down every time.)
“Don’t put it down, put it away.” May be a sentence that just changed my life. My mom passed away recently so not only am I dealing with my own organization but I am the only person here to go through her stuff as well. Very overwhelming to say the least. Thank you so much 🙏 🥹
I have ADD, I’ve had to learn similar skills to help me as well. I’ve heard it call OHIO, only handle it once. That’s saved me! It helps me to realize that I don’t want to handle it a second time. You’re doing great! 🦄
You are a LEVEL ONE hoarder. Please recheck, cuz you have come so far! I know this mantra, but need to use it more! Thanks so much for sharing your inspirational journey. ❤️
Thank you for showing us the way. Thank you for being You and teaching us by showing us, it can be done and the secretes. In the main bathroom you can put a small curtain till you decide to get doors or a new vanity. Nothing fancy just a tight string through, with nails.
I am starting the video and so excited to watch it. Bit on a hoarder (de-hoarding) adventure myself to change my behaviour and mindset. You are an inspiration and I can relate 100%. I put things down omg instead of putting it away. Interesting!
Perfect... organized Miss ❤️...go Peppar🥰 I am always saying... put it away, not down 👍really helps I need a dishwasher magnet... As t home and work. Love from NZ
I am in the same baot and working on all of it. I just want to say how much I love the blue sink! My grandparents house (now my dad's house) had blue in one bathroom. The master had a lavender sink, tub, and toilet. I'm so glad my dad kept those things when he remodeled the house.
The upside down meds bottles - just brilliant. Thank you! I have a bag and take them all out at once and put each one back in as I take it - but I love this idea. Same with the countertop basket which I'm going to do today for my husband's vitamins and meds. My meds bag - an insulated lunch bag, hangs on a hook right beside the chair I sit in in the evening, with a water glass and refill bottle beside it. Not the nicest looking thing but I was missing so many doses. Now I never do.
Another tip I just taught myself: Never leave a room without taking something that belongs to the room you are going to. If I am going to the kitchen from the living room I take a glass, coffee cup, magazine or trash paper etc. I never leave without something in my hand (unless there's nothing to go - which is never). Then put it where it belongs immediately. I can manage one item at a time on any day, no matter how had the distraction. Same with any pile I have - pick up something from a kitchen pile that belongs in the room I'm going to - just one thing. It's manageable and the anxiety burst is very low.
hello, thanks it is good idea this tips to organize as adhd persons my child had struggles with his School stuff, clothes,shoes he used to accumulated he is very sensitive distracted . I learnt to understand him and help him to take control with patience ,after I watched some of your videos miss heart, God bless you because continually. 🏡🙂
I love listening to you narrate your videos. I’ve never been diagnosed as adhd or even add because I have never been hyper a day in my life BUT as I listen to you describe your tendencies and fixes I am seeing myself and how I need to set up my home to complete my tasks because at 53 I have figured out how I think. I have a cleaning kit in each bathroom, I have my daily vitamins in a day of the week pill case, and I used to have to set it out to remember to take them all. Now I can have it in a drawer because I’ve made it a habit. I wish I could get my family to “don’t put it down, put it away” because that’s how I’ve remembered to stop leaving clutter too! Very enlightening and inspiring!! Thank you!
These are the best ideas I have ever heard. This was the first video of yours I watched and I am probably gunna binge watch your channel. I have never heard something that made so much since to me. My first challenge will be starting from scratch with no organization already. I’m having issues starting anything lately. First I had no time cause of work then I lost my job so now I can’t start anything cause I don’t have money to.
I´m finally medicated and am in therapy for ADHD - but your videos keep supporting me whenever everything else fails :D So thankful for your content, which I´ve been watching for years now. Also: it inspires me to see how you´re making progress and motivates me to keep going :)
It's amazing that you can keep it organize for so long !!!! Thanks so much for sharing your progress ! It motivates me so much to do even just a pantry ... but it's still progress ! (not perfection) ;)
It´s so cool that you are so selfaware. That is why you have come soooo far! You are GREAT. It is so interesting how my normal is real work for you. 😅 But you are right - it will become habit! Love from Germany 💛🐝💛
For the dishwasher, I always pop the soap in as soon as I empty the clean dishes from it. If the soap dispenser is closed it means it has soap in it and the dishes in the dishwasher are dirty, if the dispenser is empty the dishes in the dishwasher are clean. But, whatever works for you, is the best.
I love this so much! I tell my kids often "Don't put it down, put it away," but I really have a hard time doing it myself, so I am going to start saying that to myself too! 💜
I got the book organising solutions for adhd and it made a messy chaotic flat into a clean and cool one. The key to me is 1on1 mapping of purpose and storage place and a unique distinguishing visual attribute of each storage place. And availability through one , max 2 hand movements
I related to this so much!!! I always leave my non-perishable groceries in bags or I'll leave them out on the table or counter. I used to think I was just lazy! Lol
THANK YOU. Without even finishing the video, I have started with a food cupboard. When I can't decide where to put something, I ask myself "Where would I look for it?" I look forward to more of your good ideas.
thanks for these videos have helped me organize home better. i find really hard to arrange things and i forget easily where some item is and where i last saw it. It`s like when i put it down to table and start focus something random i forget instant what i did 😨. Adhd & autism personality is really tiring and exhausting..

Hello from Germany, hi miss heart, miow pepper...... hi hawkamy mee too, but I'm look since 2018!!!! Hugs from me to you, be safe
Oh my goodness, thank you so so much ❤️🙏🏻❤️ I have tears in my eyes, your message means everything to my heart, thank you for such an amazing friend to me 🦄💜🌟🦄💜🌟
Me too. And i have to also say that is am using your method of saying OUT LOUD: don't put it down, put it away!
I used to have my own version of "Don't put it down, put it away." except it was "Don't do it later, do it now." It did help a lot until I stopped doing it because it drove me bonkers that my roommate didn't have the same energy and in order to remain in good terms I had to calm down on it. Now I have a place of my own and have to learn to do it all over again.
don’t put it down put it away ❤
For medication and vitamins I got a weekly pill organizer. Every Sunday I refill it!
Dishwash hack: when you unload the dishwasher put in dish soap for the next load. That way everyone in the family knows if there is soap it is dirty. If there isn’t soap it is clean. I couldn’t keep up on changing the sign. The soap trick has worked for me.
Great idea - thanks !
Don't put it down, put it away. Can't wait until I get to that stage. I have so much junk scattered everywhere that nothing has a home.

RIGHT!? "throw it out if you can replace it in under 20 minutes for under 20 dollars"... so like.. they want me to rebuy soap every single day?
Minimalism is for rich people with a lot of free time I think
I searched the same thing and found this video super helpful
Love this so much. I chuckled when you said, “We will forget if we’ve taken our medication, even 5 seconds later.” 💯 percent true!
"Don't put it down, put it away" simple yet genius!! The new mantra.
Agreed! Stealing this tidbit! ❤️ 🎉
The upside down bottles is my great take away here!
I will use your method.. Thanks very much ❤❤
Some thing that helps me clean up the kitchen is to look from left to right and put away the next thing. So I start at the microwave and move clockwise until I'm back at the microwave. It works better for me than looking for like items or the easiest things or all the things that go in the pantry. I might make three trips to the pantry but somehow it works better and I get a little exercise. Also if I get distracted I can simple start back at the microwave and look to the right and find what is next.
I do this in every room. I start at the doorway, then move from immediately on my left all the way around the room until I hit the door again.
Love This!!!! Thank you so so much for sharing this with everyone 🦄💜🙏🏻🌟🦄💜🙏🏻🌟
great idea...gonna try this one from now on
That's how I was taught to clean hotel rooms ... start on one side of the door and work around the room.
After you have decluttered it works well.
A really messy room might need two circuits: one for removing trash and clutter, then second one to actually clean surfaces.
I have that dishwasher magnet! It has been a lifesaver. It sounds silly, but my kids, who are the same, actually use it. Queue the hallelujah chorus!!
My dishwasher is a place only for dirty dishes. Last thing before bed: start the dishwasher. In the morning I unload it while the coffee machine works. So I can Store the dirty dishes in the dishwasher. The only way I can keep my counters clean. But I still need a lot of Energy for this routine
Love this! My ADHD brain needed this. Please do more videos
I definitely plan too!!! Thank you so much 💕🙏🏼🌟🦄
I flip my medicine upside down too! I can never remember when i take it and that helps
Oh good, I'm not the only one with 5 different drinks at a time! 🤣 as always, so proud & I continue to enjoy every video however big or small!
These systems are really working great for you, well done. I appreciate when you explain the mindset of ADHD and hoarding it helps me be a little kinder to myself. Thank you so much. Miss Pepper is such a treasure. Stay safe and healthy. Mary, Joes wife 💪👍👏🙏💐🐈🦄

Kudos to you working with your ADHD to make your life easier and that of your family. I am proud of the steps you have taken over the years and I myself have been encouraged.
I’m happy to see your systems are working! Daily maintenance is essential but not devastating when you miss a day or two 💜
Yessss!! I finally see that!! It’s not an hour long task, it can be done in 10 minutes now! Thank you so much 🦄💜🌟🙏🏻
What I love most about your channel is you’re not like:

I’ve watched a lot of videos lately and this video actually provided support. Yay. Thanks!
THE BINS AND BASKETS WORK! Dollar Tree is my friend lol. I feel great watching this knowing that I am already doing these things . Its still a struggle.
I have a spot in my pantry cabinet I call "The Container Store" that's just a stash of little bags and boxes and baskets. It's been incredibly handy.
Wow! I had drifted away from your channel.., in the interim have been diagnosed with ADHD too!! The reason I had been so addicted to your channel in the first place is I resonated with your struggles; I have been struggling with some degree of hoarding, disorganisation etc as well as the cleaning as I go.

Great tip on turning over the medicine bottles!!!
I'm so excited: I do the same thing with my meds---after I take one, I put the bottle back upside down. I'm so excited to see someone else doing the same thing I do and for the same reason! Thank you for sharing these videos!

This video screams “Ladybug!” to me. :)
Butterfly!
Thank you so so much 🦄💜🌟🙏🏻 I’m not sure which bug I am!! Lol I’ll have to find out! You inspired me to create a video on it!!
@@ahoardersheart I am pretty sure that you are a butterfly or Ladybug but so much looking forward to the video 💜
I was just diagnosed with ADD/Bipolar 2 in october 2022.
I love your saying... Dont put it down, put it away.. i am just starting my decluttering journey,. Not sure if I am a hoarder but i am. Prolly borderline if not full. Fledged.
Unrelated but make sure to check your sunscreens! Banana boat just released a list of products that were found to have cancer causing ingredients (neutragena has a list out as well and i had 3 products on that list 🙃). Be safe momma!
Yay looking forward to another a great video
Love the functional pantry with the beautiful labels. Also the supplements / meds hack is the best thing ever
I love your videos 👍👍👍....and your cat is awesome 🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love this! I love how validating this is and that systems that work the best for my brain are not aesthetically pleasing but they’re quick and they work. Even more that things should be stored close to where the action is.
“My mind will jump.” Ha! That’s me. ❤

I have ADHD too and I’m going to try labeling like you did! I’m a minimalist and even though I don’t have much stuff, it STILL gets messy. I don’t know how. I literally just don’t have hardly anything. That darn ADHD 😰
Being ADD all those tips are how I do my organization too. For meds and vitamins, I had to get one of those daily pill organizers. That way I knew I had taken it. You're doing a great job.
You are so helpful. I'm grateful for you. Thanks for the tips.
I do not have ADHD and I will forget if I took my medicine. I had to put a small pocket calendar to mark it off.
That's a great idea!
Thanks 😊
I've never watched your channel before and I'm not even one minute into the video yet--but seeing that pad wrapper on your bathroom counter hit so hard for me :,) thank you for showing it; I know some women would be embarrassed but honestly I do the exact same thing
Fantastic ideas thank so much beautiful lady ❤️ 🦄
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING!!!❤️❤️❤️ I super appreciate your self awareness and explaining the ADHD through Ty process (I’m learning more and more that a lot of the things I do are due to my ADHD). I super appreciate the fact that your channel is called “A hoarder’s heart” cuz I’m a hoarder and I have ADHD and I want to work on overcoming my hoarding habits. Thank you for sharing what works well for you! I super appreciate you!
So amazing! You’re so blessed and I can’t thank you enough for filling my week with your encouragement, your drive, and story, and your tips!
Awe!!! You are the sweetest!!! Thank you so much for being such a sweet encouraging friend to me 🦄💜🌟🙏🏻💕
Turning the medicine bottle upside down after taking pills is a brilliant idea! Thank you for that great tip!
Mantra for today, don’t put it down, put it away…. I have to keep this in mind for my work stuff when school opens
I take meds and vitamins every day. I bought 3 weekly pill organizers and fill them up. I put all back stock away and the other 2 weeks put away. I leave the 1 week organizer out. I know by looking if I’ve missed a day. That would help clear that big basket off your counter and all you would have is the little organizer. Plus you wouldn’t have to open every bottle every day. And I refill them every 3 weeks at one time. I hope this helps.
Wow. This is the first video Ive ever seen. Id love to see more video. I would be so happy if I could maintain an organized space for 6 months. Thats amazing.
It’s been awhile since I’ve watched your videos and OMG you have come so far and done so well!!! I was one of those begging you to be evaluated for ADHD. I’m so proud of you!!
Girl, you have this licked. Everything looks awesome! You are doing a great job!
I just love your videos! I also love seeing Pepper 😍
omg! "don't put it down, put it away" has become my motto. It will change my life. With my ADD I will get a pen from the junk drawer, write a note on the counter directly above it, then walk away to take care of the note. the pen will stay there for days, in the way, just being clutter. I have been trying to say this any time I am tempted to leave something out that is easy to put away. also when I take off my clothes, I leave them on the floor even if I won't wear them tomorrow. Now I force myself to walk to the closet to hang up, or I have a drawer for "worn but not dirty." (another tip for ADD I have S hooks for my pants and shorts. That way they can be easily hung but with my ADD I will never get a hanger down every time.)
“Don’t put it down, put it away.” May be a sentence that just changed my life.
My mom passed away recently so not only am I dealing with my own organization but I am the only person here to go through her stuff as well. Very overwhelming to say the least. Thank you so much 🙏 🥹
Wow!!! I’ve been watching your channel for a little over a year now and I’m SO IMPRESSED with your progress in organization!! 😍😍😍
I have ADD, I’ve had to learn similar skills to help me as well. I’ve heard it call OHIO, only handle it once. That’s saved me! It helps me to realize that I don’t want to handle it a second time.
You’re doing great! 🦄
You are a LEVEL ONE hoarder. Please recheck, cuz you have come so far!
I know this mantra, but need to use it more! Thanks so much for sharing your inspirational journey. ❤️
Thank you for showing us the way. Thank you for being You and teaching us by showing us, it can be done and the secretes.
In the main bathroom you can put a small curtain till you decide to get doors or a new vanity. Nothing fancy just a tight string through, with nails.
Aha contrats for the hyper focus phase to organize each corner 👌
I love the putting the bottles upside down once you take it, wonderful idea!
Yes, yes, yes!! Keep items close to where they are used and make it as easy to put away as it is to take it out! Awesome job!!!
I am starting the video and so excited to watch it. Bit on a hoarder (de-hoarding) adventure myself to change my behaviour and mindset. You are an inspiration and I can relate 100%. I put things down omg instead of putting it away. Interesting!
You'd like the art of decluttering podcast. Kirsty and Amy say 'don't put it down put it away' I think there was even a song at one point 😂
Perfect... organized Miss ❤️...go Peppar🥰
I am always saying... put it away, not down 👍really helps
I need a dishwasher magnet... As t home and work.
Love from NZ
I am in the same baot and working on all of it. I just want to say how much I love the blue sink! My grandparents house (now my dad's house) had blue in one bathroom. The master had a lavender sink, tub, and toilet. I'm so glad my dad kept those things when he remodeled the house.
Lol. Omg I do the same upside-down thing with my meds too.
The upside down meds bottles - just brilliant. Thank you! I have a bag and take them all out at once and put each one back in as I take it - but I love this idea. Same with the countertop basket which I'm going to do today for my husband's vitamins and meds. My meds bag - an insulated lunch bag, hangs on a hook right beside the chair I sit in in the evening, with a water glass and refill bottle beside it. Not the nicest looking thing but I was missing so many doses. Now I never do.
Another tip I just taught myself: Never leave a room without taking something that belongs to the room you are going to. If I am going to the kitchen from the living room I take a glass, coffee cup, magazine or trash paper etc. I never leave without something in my hand (unless there's nothing to go - which is never). Then put it where it belongs immediately. I can manage one item at a time on any day, no matter how had the distraction. Same with any pile I have - pick up something from a kitchen pile that belongs in the room I'm going to - just one thing. It's manageable and the anxiety burst is very low.
I love your mantra, it is so helpful and I definitely will start saying it as well. All these tips are great, thanks for sharing!
I soooo relate - don't put it down put it away can be such a difficult habit for us for a non neurotypical brains.
You are a good organizer! You have come light years !!!
It's awesome that you have found a system that works for you, it looks great!
hello, thanks it is good idea this tips to organize as adhd persons my child had struggles with his School stuff, clothes,shoes he used to accumulated he is very sensitive distracted . I learnt to understand him and help him to take control with patience ,after I watched some of your videos miss heart, God bless you because continually. 🏡🙂
I love listening to you narrate your videos. I’ve never been diagnosed as adhd or even add because I have never been hyper a day in my life BUT as I listen to you describe your tendencies and fixes I am seeing myself and how I need to set up my home to complete my tasks because at 53 I have figured out how I think. I have a cleaning kit in each bathroom, I have my daily vitamins in a day of the week pill case, and I used to have to set it out to remember to take them all. Now I can have it in a drawer because I’ve made it a habit. I wish I could get my family to “don’t put it down, put it away” because that’s how I’ve remembered to stop leaving clutter too! Very enlightening and inspiring!! Thank you!
ADD is the non hyper type! Now called inattentive adhd.
Its absolutely a legit thing
So happy to hear you are getting your life in order. Congratulations on a job well done.
These are the best ideas I have ever heard. This was the first video of yours I watched and I am probably gunna binge watch your channel. I have never heard something that made so much since to me. My first challenge will be starting from scratch with no organization already. I’m having issues starting anything lately. First I had no time cause of work then I lost my job so now I can’t start anything cause I don’t have money to.
Your kitchen is so tidy & your nails so pretty!! 💖 I always pronounce Ms. as Mizz, because Miss is for unmarrieds ~ am I just old fashioned? 😅
I´m finally medicated and am in therapy for ADHD - but your videos keep supporting me whenever everything else fails :D So thankful for your content, which I´ve been watching for years now. Also: it inspires me to see how you´re making progress and motivates me to keep going :)
Hello my beautiful friend from Berlin ♥️♥️♥️ I’m so happy it helps you and I will always cheer you on!!!
In my head... I can hear Ty-Ty also saying out loud, "Don't put it down, put it away."
It's amazing that you can keep it organize for so long !!!! Thanks so much for sharing your progress ! It motivates me so much to do even just a pantry ... but it's still progress ! (not perfection) ;)
That’s really good thank you. It’s so nice to hear someone understand what it’s like. ❤
It´s so cool that you are so selfaware. That is why you have come soooo far! You are GREAT. It is so interesting how my normal is real work for you. 😅 But you are right - it will become habit! Love from Germany 💛🐝💛
cant wait for the basement to be clean and open 💓😎😎😎
For the dishwasher, I always pop the soap in as soon as I empty the clean dishes from it. If the soap dispenser is closed it means it has soap in it and the dishes in the dishwasher are dirty, if the dispenser is empty the dishes in the dishwasher are clean. But, whatever works for you, is the best.
Love your dishwasher system 🙌
I love this so much! I tell my kids often "Don't put it down, put it away," but I really have a hard time doing it myself, so I am going to start saying that to myself too! 💜
Wow the bins in the pantry seem amazing. Why have I never thought to do that before..... off to Target to get those baskets!!
Helpful. Thank you.❤
OMG thank you! These are EXTREMELY helpful tips !
I just got that dirty/clean dish washer thing!! Haha its awesome
I got the book organising solutions for adhd and it made a messy chaotic flat into a clean and cool one. The key to me is 1on1 mapping of purpose and storage place and a unique distinguishing visual attribute of each storage place. And availability through one , max 2 hand movements
I know all those words individually but i did not understand how that works at all, do you have an example? It sounds interesting!
Love this! I need more videos and tips like this 💓
"Don't put it down. Out it away..." 👍🏼
I related to this so much!!! I always leave my non-perishable groceries in bags or I'll leave them out on the table or counter. I used to think I was just lazy! Lol
The medicines are why I bought an pill box that has the days of the week on it. I don’t over medicate and it only takes time on Sunday to fill it up.
Thank you - we are so much alike. Appreciate these tips
I love how you explain how we get so distracted.
Honey Honey Honey ....... .. LOVE THIS !!! 💯👌👍😊
So organized!
THANK YOU. Without even finishing the video, I have started with a food cupboard. When I can't decide where to put something, I ask myself "Where would I look for it?" I look forward to more of your good ideas.
I like the upside down pill bottle idea. Thanks.
thanks for these videos have helped me organize home better. i find really hard to arrange things and i forget easily where some item is and where i last saw it. It`s like when i put it down to table and start focus something random i forget instant what i did 😨. Adhd & autism personality is really tiring and exhausting..
