Re: The High-Five Corner

I cleaned up and decluttered at work, reorganizing two important areas but resisting the urge to keep going and reorganize everything. I tossed out a lot of stuff that I just set aside at the time (because I didn’t have a place to put it) but really didn’t need to hang on to. Now if I could only do that at home!

Reading Ari Tuckman’s “Success Strategies for Adults with ADHD” and realizing that I am now doing a lot of what he suggests, so that’s heartening. I was able to borrow it from the library.

sdwa – about checking in – my husband and I plan my day the night before. And since we both have to take a medication around 11:30 am, we call each other and check in. I either do specific tasks or leave at a specific time from work these days, and I always check in with him – if I didn’t get done what should have gotten done, I might get permission to stay to do just that.

The cleaning, decluttering and re-organization today was unplanned, but it was long overdue and I’m glad I did it. But what I was supposed to do didn’t get started until after lunch, so I stayed longer than I planned.
