Yesssss! I have actually bought new containers 🤣 but I am in the process of this right. Trying to let go of the perfectionism and work smarter, not harder 🩷
This is great. I just moved to a new home so I have been developing new "cues" this last couple of months. But reading this makes me excided and I can feel the calm.
I have been trying my whole life to declutter. I am slowly leaving my perfectionism behind, which is so difficult with ADHD. I am retired now and thought it would be easier. Ha, not. Thinking of this all from another point of view of cues, is amazing! I keep wondering why mail piles up on the couch. Now thinking cues will help me tackle this! Thank you!

Oh yes. Containers are absolutely part of the learning curve.
I’ve bought plenty before realizing what I actually needed.
Letting go of perfection is usually the real win anyway. :)

New home, new cues. That’s such a good place to be.
Good luck with the settling in.💛
Yes! Environmental design that makes doing the thing easier than not doing the thing is the key to changing most behaviors (cleaning and otherwise)
This made me think about laundry... the bane of my tidy home.
The clean pile I keep sifting through instead of putting away.
I know it feels better when it’s folded, but sometimes that step just feels far off.
Maybe it’s not about trying harder. Maybe the cue just isn’t clear yet.
Note to self: must add laundry basket.

That makes sense. It’s frustrating to expect things to get easier and realize they don’t.
ADHD plus perfectionism is a tough mix. I’m really glad this way of looking at it helped. 💛
im obsessed with cleaning, organising and decluttering videos.
