You are such an amazing person. I feel your struggles. I’m a dyslexic that is a cross between a bumble bee and cricket… dyslexia sometimes can register as ADD or ADHD. I suspect that your ADD is actually what allows you to be a creative thinker and a problem solver. Which is how you came up with the four organizing types… honestly absolutely brilliant, if not the most brilliant insight to the types of psychology that we fall into and how with you the world and how we deal with that input from the world. You probably have more insight than many therapists that are out there who have degrees in the subject. I have to say that after discovering your channel and following you, you have given me so much insight into how I function as a person/dyslexic person. And have really answered why I’ve struggled for so many years with so many things. Thanks to you finally getting my house under control and have then able to juggle three jobs, house repairs, massive decluttering/organizing as well as go back to school for computer science/software engineering. The tactics that you suggest to help struggling detailed organizers like crickets and bumblebees are actually some of the same tactics I know applied to doing what’s called re-factoring my programming code. Your methods are not just applicable to decluttering and organizing but just so many other things in life. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! You really are having a positive and profound impact on the world, something I could only dream of doing. Keep up the AMAZING work. 🖤🙏

A little friendly trivia/education for anyone interested! The terms ADHD and ADD are often confused and discussed as if they are different disorders (like at the end of this particular video). The term "ADD" should be abandoned, really, as it is an older term (generally considered to be "outdated") that was removed from the DSM-5 in 2013. ADHD is now considered to be the diagnosis, with three different "presentations" and three modifiers to those presentations (mild, moderate, and severe). For example, my personal diagnosis is "Moderate, Combined type ADHD". I was almost 34 when I finally received the diagnosis!

I excel in university while managing my family, including a baby. But I can tell for sure that these tips would’ve been SO helpful when I was in the middle of it, scatter brained and easily distracted and always always always with a mind running a thousand miles per hour, yet always somehow fatigued.

ADHDer here! I’ve come to love the grocery pickup option that a lot of stores offer now. I’ve always hated grocery shopping. It doesn’t matter if I have a list or not, I get overwhelmed and end up either forgetting items from the list (assuming I’ve even remembered a) to make a list, b) to bring it with me, and c) to consult it while in the store) or getting so flustered that I end up buying twice as much as was on my list (or in my budget). With pickup, you can build your order over days if you want-so fewer worries about forgetting items. There’s not much opportunity for impulse buys, so that’s a win. And when I go to pickup, I don’t even need to get out of the car which makes it less likely that I’ll mosey into another store along the way. Cannot recommended highly enough

As someone with ADHD, it can feel condescending and dismissive when someone casually remarks that "everyone is a little ADHD sometimes." Or you talk about your struggle and someone dismisses that as something "we all feel." But here, you eloquently present your tips in a way that anyone can conceptualize reasonably, even if they don't relate. If you don't find yourself struggling with these things, it's still entertaining to just watch, learn, and appreciate! You're a gifted communicator, and at the risk of sounding hyperbolic, almost like a minister. The way you teach, inspire, and give us not forgiveness from on high, but the empowerment to forgive ourselves and be better tomorrow.

My goodness, I hadn’t really understood how hard it was for those with ADD/ADHD. Thank you for the examples, it really helps understand it better (I mean, I knew it made life so much more challenging). I really admire your ability to mine challenging situations for that nugget of humour to lighten everyone’s days. Thanks for a great video - invaluable for those with these disorders and definitely helpful for everyone!

This is great, I got diagnosed last year when I was 31. My friends always thought I was the organised one but I was just overcompensating for my adhd and being super anxious all the time. I have a lot of things i do around the house to stay organised, but I will say that since starting medication my executive function has been much better.

I found the same. I just accepted that the way I clean is the way I clean. I get help from my kid if he's available to run items to their homes. Or I walk them there myself. If I get distracted and start tidying at that location, such is life. That place needed tidying too. I try to avoid distraction by literally talking to myself ("back to the kitchen"). But if I find a bill that needs paying, I pay it now before I forget. Or I lay it on the computer keyboard to remind myself to do a transfer. A tote would just be a compost bin for me. But I bet it works well for some folks

Your openness about ADHD (which I've learned recently is call executive dysfunction or executive function developmental delay, helps me to know its recognized as a neurological disorder) anyway...your openness about your struggles us SO FREEING! The shame I've experienced in my life from well meaning people who thought I just needed more motivation was crippling and effected my self esteem until 3 years ago, yes at 42 years old...I was diagnosed and it was so reliving to know I wasn't a failure. My life started to change for the better after I knew this diagnosis and I got real help &stopped beating myself up so much! I struggle with ALL the things you do & I'm so comforted to hear I'm not alone! Thank you 1 million times! Your stories were hilarious & related to them ALL, so much so that I thoight you were talking about me! I write this in extreme gratitude for your channel & tips too!

I hear your "Cass-isms" as I like to call them in my head regularly! Thank you thank you! You are helping me, along with Dawn's & Dana's advice too, to change my life...FINALLY after 40 years of struggling thinking I was broken & I'd never succeed. And I so wish I knew you were in Baltimore, I live there & I would've met you for coffee & some hilarious distracted conversations where we forget each others names...LOL! Just know I'm here rooting you on, keep being raw & real, I love it! I'll be DEFINITELY initiating some of these ADHD tips! And I'll be sharing this video with family (5 out of the 7 of us in my family have ADHD 🤪) & friends for sure! More people NEED to hear this! Love you & thank you again, my ADHD sister! 💜

My family often told me that I was lazy. Teachers remarked that I constantly forgot my assignments, or didn't pay attention. My feelings were often hurt. That feeling of being a failure is definitely a real bitch. After being diagnosed (at 45!) it all made so much sense, I'm not lazy or lacking in the ability to focus because I'm "bad" 🙂 I confess I am occasionally lazy and/or bad, however I now do it with intention, lol!

My daughter was diagnosed with autism at 23 and at 58 it was my diagnosis too, with a side of adhd. I get SO lost in my head sometimes! It is hard to snap out of it too but truly it is just the ability to hyper focus that both autism and adhd share. These can manifest as super powers though. I don’t consider either as things that hold me back because essentially they can be trained to keep me on top easily. Cas helps so much!

Timer+ for apple users! Normally end up tuning out repeat alarm noises or Siri/google after a while so being able to can change the alarm ringtone throughout the day has been majorly helpful. Personally use 10-15 minute timer cycles (sometimes 5 if it’s a bad day and need to be sure to stay on task. you can set it to continuously happen for the entire day if you need or just an hour or 2 …but do whatever works for you! Hopefully at least some of us can stay on task a little longer than that🤦🏻♀️😂) Also have a daily planner page I made for 15 min increments as well..Definitely not to be used to plan every moment of the day but more as a guide to get things accomplished and figure out where time is going. It’s definitely helping me figure out how long things really take or how often am getting distracted. Also it’s a good way to gauge medication dose changes ( started an adhd medication and so far can see a difference the med is making vs non medication days) hoping it will help gauge any medication changes in the future as well.
