But because visual clutter can be distracting, Dr. Maletz says it's important to keep what's out meticulously organised: "Many people with ADHD find it easier to stay focused and get things done when all the items are neatly stored and on-hand where they use them." That means forcing yourself to put things back in the place you found them after every use, keeping them in one cabinet or on a clean shelf, and leaving out only what you know you want to use every single night and morning.
