Store cupboard of sadness to store cupboard of dreams!
A fab before and after that left our client feeling so ‘energised’ (her words) that she immediately decluttered her own wardrobe 💪🏼
The girls even got her husband to declutter some of his stuff too (which he usually avoids) HOORAY for the power of LIFE / EDIT and well done Hayley and Vivien x ... See MoreSee Less

When I got a call all the way from California a few weeks ago I was so excited!
Dan wanted to chat to us about his parents’ cupboard of doom in their flat in Edinburgh.
Every Christmas when he visits, he ends up having the same argument with his folks about how he is worried about how cluttered it is and how worried he is that his ageing dad is going to have an accident in there and the ladders will come falling down on his head.
So he called us.
Off we went to meet his mum and dad (hilarious by the way way: loved ‘em) and we made a plan.
They wanted a pulley; more space and a good clear out.
We:
✔️ got rid of their wobbly space-encroaching old shelving
✔️got our David to install a new, sleeker version
✔️decluttered bags and bags and BAGS of stuff they no longer need (including this natty raincoat)
✔️ made a system for the mum’s backstock
✔️ installed a pulley
✔️ put a utility rack on the wall for their mops and brooms
✔️ fastened their ladders with a hook and bungee clip so make them safe
They even got some fancy new flooring down!
They LOVE it declaring 10 out of 10 and Dan’s already left us a 5* review 🩷 ... See MoreSee Less

DOOM boxes!
Man oh man they’re an absolute ADHD staple are they not?
Come on, hands up. Where do you have them?
📦 under the bed?
🫣 by the side of the sofa?
🫠 on the kitchen worktop?
They are the bain of many an ADHD-er’s life and super tricky to know what to do with.
Here’s what!
✔️ Grab a box for each room the stuff in the DOOM box relates to (if you don’t know which room the stuff relates to without looking through, just grab a load of boxes and you can work it out while you’re doing the process)
✔️ grab the biggest item from the doom box and assign it to the appropriate room. Don’t overthink it, don’t think about the next step, just do this first step
✔️ keep going until the DOOM box is empty
✔️ take each box which you have filled into the appropriate room
✔️ if you know where the items live and they have a proper home put them into their home
✔️ if the items don’t have a proper home (eg drawer, shelf or cupboard) just put them into the right room: it’s still progress
Take that, DOOM boxes!

1. Reduce the volume (brutally)
Too many options is overwhelming.
Keep a realistic number based on your actual habits, not your aspirational meal prep life
2. Buy ALL the same type of Tupperware. Ikea 365 is brilliant for this as the lids are all the same size. It takes all the horrid matching stress out of it
3. Store with the lids on. Always. Applying the ‘OHIO’ rule means you put the lids on IMMEDIATELY and it’s all there for you when you need it
Simple. ... See MoreSee Less

And it’s this:
NAMING YOUR DRAWERS!
Naming your drawers might sound a bit extra—but for ADHD brains, it’s surprisingly powerful. It turns storage from something you have to think about into something you can just follow.
Here’s why it works:
It removes decision fatigue
ADHD often makes small decisions feel disproportionately hard. If a drawer is just ‘miscellaneous’ your brain has to pause and decide every time.
When it’s named: ‘gym tops; daily underwear’ comfy home clothes’ there’s no decision. Your brain goes: this goes here, done.
It reduces overwhelm when tidying
Instead of ‘tidy the bedroom’ (too big, too vague), it becomes:
→ Put socks in the sock drawer
→ Put work tops in the work drawer
Specific always beats general for ADHD

That’s a bold take—and honestly, for a lot of people with ADHD, it’s not wrong. Folding is one of those looks simple, feels impossible tasks because it’s repetitive, slow, and has no immediate payoff.
But ‘don’t fold clothes’ isn’t really about chaos—it’s about removing a barrier.
Here’s the real idea behind it:
Folding is optional. Accessibility is not.
If folding creates a barrier between clean laundry and actually putting it away, skip it. Because clothes sitting in a basket are the problem—not whether they’re neatly folded.
A better ADHD-friendly system might look like:
* Throw, don’t fold → open baskets or drawers where you can just drop items in
* Category bins → one for tops, one for bottoms, one for gym, etc.
* Visible storage → if you can’t see it, it basically doesn’t exist
* Hanging only what matters → e.g. work clothes, things that crease easily
The goal isn’t a Pinterest wardrobe. It’s a system you’ll actually use on a low-energy day.
If folding works for you, great. If it’s the reason your clean clothes live in a pile for 5 days… it’s the first thing to go 💥 ... See MoreSee Less
