Ginnie, as you say, functionality is crucial. I think that is what made the difference for me. The meds were really working and I could look at things in a very realistic way. How do we use these items? and how can I organize them in a way that is practical for an ADHD family?

Not quite the way I see things done in other peoples houses for sure.

Why I asked the question “I wonder if there is something about the process of de-cluttering on your own that instills a longer term commitment?”, is that I did most of the work, and on my part, things have worked out really well. I’m still enjoying being able to find most things, and I organized for ease of putting things away easily. I actually get a little dopamine rush knowing someting is back in it’s place 😆 The rest of the household has not done so well. It’s still easier to dump stuff where ever for them, though they have improved quite a bit.

I have to look at the family as a work in progress, but now I feel some responsibility in leading them to a clutter free Nirvana.
