For practical tricks, Order from Chaos by Jaclyn Paul is your new best friend. She’s a writer with ADD who admits she once organized her fridge by color. Yes, that’s a thing.
Her golden rule: “Don’t organize your stuff. Organize your future self.” If you struggle to return library books, just set a reminder that says, “The fine is $5. Now you can’t buy tacos.” Tacos are a powerful motivator.
She also suggests micro-habits like “put your keys in the same place for three seconds.” If you fail, you stop. Hardcore? No. Realistic? Absolutely.
