I sometimes struggle with attention and focus, which makes maintaining an organized space somewhat challenging. Luckily, there are many ADHD-friendly home organization hacks to keep things neat, tidy, and easily accessible.

Below are some awesome hacks to help you get started!

1. Visual Reminders for Food in the Fridge

Visual reminders are a game-changer if you struggle with focus and attention. Adding some printed out pictures of your go-to fridge foods to the front of your refrigerator will go a long way toward ensuring that things get put away in the proper place and stay organized!

2. Multiple Laundry Hampers

Is organizing and arranging laundry a struggle for you? I have been there, especially when it comes to separating colors, whites, and delicates.

One of the simplest solutions for this is to use multiple laundry hampers. You can label them to make it super easy to put things where they need to go.

You could also get a collapsible hamper with different sections like this. It comes with customizable labels!

3. Simplify Closet Organization

Keeping a closet organized can be challenging when you have ADHD.

Adding labeled fabric storage bins to your closet shelves, floor, or dresser will make it easy to maintain an organized space.

I use bins like this for sweaters, scarves, work-out clothes, and more. I love that this set comes with its own labels.

4. Body Doubling for Motivation

Body doubling for ADHD is a great strategy that can help you be more focused, productive, and organized.

To implement this in your own life, you will need to request the support of a trusted friend or partner. The job of this person is to support you while you work on whatever task is at hand (in this case, organizing).

The next time you have an organizing job to do, enlist the help of your body double. They can either work on the task with you or simply be present in the same room as you.

People with ADHD report that having a body double helps to reduce distractions and increase productivity!

5. Make Folding Laundry More Fun

Is folding the laundry a task that you always dread? I have been there, but now I look forward to doing my laundry because I’ve discovered many ways to make it more fun.

Some of the best ways to infuse some fun into the laundry-folding process include watching your favorite television show, putting on a podcast or audiobook, listening to music, or sipping a favorite beverage while you fold.

6. Label Drawers for Easy Reference

If you struggle with ADHD and concentration, you might find it impossible to maintain an organized space. Labels are a simple solution that will make it easier.

You can add labels to drawers, bins, baskets, and closets to make sure that things get put back where they belong. If you need a good label maker, I have this one.

7. Store Everyday Vitamins Next to Tea Station

If you forget to take your medication and vitamins, you are not alone. One of my favorite tricks for this is to store your pills near your tea or coffee maker.

When you make your morning beverage, you will see your vitamins and remember to take them. You could also store them on your bathroom counter right next to your toothbrush.

8. Bulletin Board for Visual To-Do List

I am a visual learner. If you are too and tend to have issues with forgetting important tasks, creating a to-do list on a large whiteboard or bulletin board will be game-changing for you.

If you like this idea, you can get something like for your office, bedroom, dorm room, or kitchen.

9. Color-Coded Bins for Categorizing

Color-coding is another quick and easy way to make sure that things get put back where they belong. Designate different colored bins for different types of items and you will have a much more organized space!

10. Tackle Kitchen Tasks in Small Chunks

Dividing kitchen organizing and cleaning tasks into smaller chunks is a great solution for those who find tidying up to be overwhelming. You can jot down a quick list of your kitchen tasks (organizing a drawer, doing the dishes, putting things away in the fridge, etc.) and choose one task at a time to focus on.

11. Drop Zone for Keys and Wallet

Adding a drop zone for your keys and wallet is an easy way to keep track of these important items. You can add a tray or small basket like this to an entryway table for a no-fuss solution.

12. Give Every Item a Home

If you want to maintain a neat and tidy environment, making sure that every item has a designated spot is a must. Take a few hours to do this in every room of your home.

I promise that after a while, it will just be part of your routine to put things where they belong!

13. Use Hooks for Quick Grab Essentials

Adding hooks to walls in your foyer, mudroom, or entryway are a great way to add fast and easy storage. Hooks are great for things like keys, gloves, and hats.

14. Place a Shallow Tray on Your Desk

If your desk is disorganized, add a shallow tray to encourage a tidy space. The trick here is to make sure that it doesn’t become overcluttered, so reserve this tray for your daily necessities!

15. Label Recycling Bins

Add labels to your recycling bins so that you easily remember where different things go. You can have a bin for plastic, one for paper, one for canned goods, and so on.

16. Set Timers to Stay on Tasks

Timers are my secret trick for staying focused on a task. If you have an organizing task that you need to get done, commit to working on it for 30 minutes or an hour.

Set a timer and don’t let yourself stop until that timer goes off!

17. Clear Front Shoe Boxes for Easy Access

To make getting ready for the day a little bit easier, store your shoes in their original shoe boxes. Simply cut the front covers off so that you can easily see what’s inside!

18. Wall-Mounted Organizers for Mail

I love wall-mounted mail organizers like this. Add one to your kitchen or office to keep your desk and counters free of mail clutter and to help you remember to pay bills!

19. Use Clear Containers for Visibility

Using clear containers is one of the best ways to make your things easily accessible. For those with ADHD, it cuts down on the distraction of having to look around for things!

20. Keep Kitchen Essentials Within Easy Reach

Keeping daily kitchen essentials like oil, cooking spray, and go-to spices within easy reach is a great idea for those with ADHD. Your time in the kitchen will be a lot more relaxing when you have these easily accessible.

You can use a small shelf or countertop caddy for this.

21. Keep Kitchen Countertop Clear

Have you ever heard that a cluttered space leads to a cluttered mind? This rings true for me!

Keeping countertops clear can be game-changing for those with ADHD so be sure to designate spaces for everything and keep just the bare necessities out on your countertops.
