This is my family’s secret weapon to stay tidy.
During the day, I just pick up things that end up on the floor and put them in the basket 🧺
At the end of the day, the kids help by picking up the stuff too and putting it in the basket.
When it gets full - I dump it out and organize the items into their places.
This takes the pressure off of having to put them away where they belong as they end up on the floor.
This only works if you have places for your things! Otherwise, this could end up as a DOOM basket and we don’t want that 🩷

Keeping a tidy home can be particularly challenging for families dealing with ADHD. Incorporating ADHD-friendly organization strategies can significantly alleviate clutter. One effective method is the use of designated baskets for day-to-day items. These baskets serve as temporary holding areas, allowing you to quickly clear floors and surfaces, making the environment less overwhelming for individuals with ADHD. By involving children in the process, they learn responsibility and teamwork while making tidying up a game. Once the basket fills up, a quick organizing session can be a family activity that teaches sorting skills. To avoid creating a 'DOOM basket', it's crucial to have designated spots for each item where they can ultimately reside. Additionally, using visual cues, such as labels with images or colors, can help in identifying where things belong easily. This visual organization method benefits children’s learning and contributes to a more structured environment that enhances focus and reduces anxiety. Both adults and children can help establish these routines, leading to a more organized, ADHD-friendly home that fosters stability and calmness.
