As always, I endeavor to keep my website and posts as neuro-friendly as possible. Photos can be found at the bottom of this post.
Here's a summary of the last 15 days of my 30-day challenge!

I'm not just talking about labeling where things go. I'm also sharing pill reminders, lunch prep reminders and tools for getting out of the house on time.
I sometimes need a little bit of science in the form of charts and reminders to help me zoom out when I'm feeling disregulated. These have been a great help.
Find yourself the most ridiculous container, something that brings joy, so you stop losing your keys.
I assign noises (ones I make with my voice) to remember certain tasks. I don't know why this works for me, but it does. Let your freak flag fly!
I'm talking eeeaaassssyyyy. If it has more than eight ingredients, I'm probably not going to make it.
This started to keep my kids from fighting, but as it turns out, it's also really wonderful for making sure they don't eat all the snacks with 24 hours of buying them.
Why is it so many ADHD/AuDHD people have trouble tracking money and budgeting? I tell you what I use.
It's so easy to want to buy anything and everything we want online when the marketing is so good. I wait 24 hours. It's a hard rule, and it saves me thousands.
I can't listen to music with discernible melodies (because I automatically harmonize and sing along), so I use these two types of music only.
This study method saves me time and headache! I learned it from my kids and let me tell you, it's a great tool!
Giving my highlighters jobs makes finding information much easier. I use this technique across calendars, planners, for schoolwork, and even at home.
I use this method to reduce the amount of snack wrappers in my kids' bedrooms, to save money over the long run, and to reduce my fears of food insecurity.
Anything to make mornings easier for me and the kids! We have it down to a science at this point.
This one surprises a lot of people, but boy is it effective! I have Jordan Page to thank for this trick. Saves me from headaches!
For bottom-up processors like me, it's extremely helpful to have a way to step back and see the year all at once. It really helps to put things into a better perspective.
