Conquer Your "Floordrobe": An ADHD Coach's Simple Laundry Hack

ADHD and the "Floordrobe": A Common Struggle and a Simple Solution Many adults with ADHD face a common organizational challenge: the "floordrobe." This refers to the accumulation of clean and nearly-clean clothes left on the floor or other surfaces. ADHD coach Jeff Rice highlights two key reasons behind this phenomenon. First, some clothes are not quite dirty enough to warrant washing, but also serve as visual reminders to the wearer. Second, the sheer task of putting away clean clothes can feel overwhelming, leading to procrastination. Rice suggests a practical solution: timing the task. He discovered that putting away three baskets of laundry took him only 21 minutes, far less than he had anticipated. "Having that hard data about how long the task actually takes makes it easier for me to look at it when I don't want to do it," Rice explains. This simple act of timing can help manage the emotional response often associated with such tasks, making them more manageable. For those struggling with "floordrobe" clutter, the key takeaway is to challenge the perceived time commitment. Time yourself; you might be surprised by the results.
