There’s No “Right Way” to Organize
Why traditional organizing advice often fails ADHD brains—and what actually works instead.
If you’ve ever thought, “I should be better at this,” or “Why can’t I just keep things tiday?” —you’re not alone. Especially for people with ADHD or other neurodivergent traits, most organizing advice simply doesn’t work. It’s designed for the way someone else’s brain works—not yours.
As a professional organizer in Cache Valley, Utah, I’ve seen how often ADHD clients are left feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, or ashamed because they can’t keep up with “standard” systems. But that’s not a personal failure—that’s a sign the system was not built for you!
You’ve Been Taught to Organize the Wrong Way
Many of my clients with ADHD have spent years believing they’re just messy or disorganized. But in reality, they’ve only ever been shown one kind of system: hyper-categorized, hidden-away, minimalist perfection. And when it doesn’t stick, the blame falls on them.
But the truth is, those “one-size-fits-all” organizing strategies don’t take ADHD into account at all.
Real ADHD Organization Help Starts With You
When I work with clients in Providence, Wellsville, Smithfield, and across Cache Valley, I always begin with this question:
How does your brain naturally operate?
Do you forget things unless they’re out in plain sight?
Do traditional bins and folders just become black holes?
Do piles actually make sense to you?
Whether we’re organizing your closet, kitchen office, or paper clutter, I tailor every system to you. That means:
Visible storage
Simple categories that are easy to remember
Low-friction routines you can actually maintain
Labels and layouts based on how you think—not how Pinterest says it should look
Organizing is a Skill—Not Something You’re Born With
You’re not “bad” at organizing—you were just never taught a way that makes sense for your brain. And organizing is 100% a skill you can learn. In every session, I teach my clients how to build systems they can maintain, not just admire for a day.
By the end, most of my ADHD clients feel more confident, more capable, and more in control—not just of their space, but of their routines and time too.
