My ADHD-friendly work setup 🫶🏻

They say life is about the little joys; my desk is full of them. 🩷

I'm constantly in awe of those of you out there with clean, minimalist setups, but I'm afraid that just ain't me. (But like...hit me up with your cord management tips because 👀.....anywayyy)

Presented for your viewing pleasure, here is my realistic and ADHD-friendly home setup! I'll tag what items I can below and in the photos themselves, but if you have any questions on stuff not listed, shoot me a message!

Featured Items:

I had been staring at this chair for MONTHS and finally pulled the trigger when it went on sale for Black Friday. It's SO comfy. We have a small living room, so the fact that this folds down and fits under my desk is *magnifique* and the FOOTREST?? I sit cross-legged for hours, and my feet BARELY fall asleep anymore, lol. But genuinely the option to sit in many different positions is wonderful for my ADHD self.

Foldable Ergonomic Office Chair: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CFTWFR14?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Tufted Barbie (Ken not pictured) mini rugs from The Toadstool Treasury

Mascot metal sign - @blakefarms

Mushroom Mini-vac - CVS

Amazon Echo Show - Amazon (love the built in pomodoro timer, the speaker kinda sucks BUT having the time always right in front of me is a must-have)

Fidget toys - Target in the sensory toys/board games section

Trinket Tray (gifted) - Rebel in Grand Rapids, Michigan

Glass Tomato - Possibly handmade?? Definitely Thrifted lol. I have a whole set of glass fruit if you ever find yourself in the market!

My favorite ceramic Goose - Target's dollar section.

Thanks for joining me on my desk tour! Until next time, keep it current!

Creating an ADHD-friendly workspace can significantly enhance focus and productivity. Consider incorporating adjustable furniture, such as a height-adjustable desk, which allows for both sitting and standing options. Additionally, using sensory items like fidget toys and stress balls can provide necessary tactile stimulation, increasing concentration during work hours. A well-organized workspace tailored to individual needs can mitigate distractions. Utilizing desktop organizers for notepads, pens, and stationery keeps essential items within reach, creating a clutter-free environment. Furthermore, adding pops of color and personal touches, like plants or artwork, can make a workspace more inviting and boost mood levels. Maximizing natural light is another beneficial strategy; bring in ample natural light through windows or strategically placed mirrors to create a more open atmosphere. For those who work with technology, investing in reliable equipment such as ergonomic keyboards and mice can prevent discomfort during long hours of use. Ultimately, blending aesthetics with functionality creates an ADHD-friendly workspace where creativity can flourish. Experiment with different layouts and items until you find the perfect balance that suits your personal style and work habits!
