Embrace Miscellaneous Organization for Your Ideas |
|
Organization can be pretty, but it doesn’t have to be. Even if the system looks ugly, it doesn’t mean you are not organized. If you can find what you’re looking for, you are organized.
With this in mind, I reached out to other ADHD thought leaders for their experiences with organizing. One response in particular was from Rick Green whose narrative of his system echoes the ugliness of organizing our thoughts. I really identify with his description, and in that realization, I feel validated in accepting my system for what it is.
Please check out my blogpost on the topic. I'm sharing it with you in the hope that those with ADHD would feel validated and would finally give themselves permission to acknowledge they are, in fact, organized. www.digcoaching.com/embrace-organization/
Warmly,
