Get Organized
If you are wondering how to organize when you have too much clutter and ADD, understand first that this is not an impossible task. Here is a tried and true method to sift through the clutter.
I found this article at Attention Deficit Disorder Help Center.
The first thing to do is go to your local K-Mart, Target, Wal-Mart, Pier One… wherever you will find attractive containers. If you are slightly cluttered, buy three or four. If your home and office are wading in clutter, buy in bulk. Next, find a number of sturdy cardboard boxes, grab a Sharpee and buy a bunch of garbage bags.
Now you are ready to tackle your first area. This might be an entire room or just one closet. You decide and work at your own pace. You are going to divide items into five piles – and I mean, pull out everything out and physically sort it.

My favorite thing to do when I feel the need to get organized is to find some books and articles about how to get organized. Sit down with a nice glass of wine and read them all. When your nap is over, for you will surely need a nap after all that work and a little wine, make a shopping list. Be sure to put containers and Sharpies on that list, but don’t forget another bottle of wine. Go shopping, and when you get home, celebrate your progress with a glass of wine. By then, the urge to get organized should have passed. It always works for me!
I usually begin my organizing then get side-tracked on something more fun. After awhile I shove everything back where is was and the whole process starts over.
