Help a Guy Out! ADHD Kid Needs Your Messy Room Plan

Help me get my phone back guys!

I just got in trouble again because I couldn’t seem to “find” my bedroom… again.

My room is messy pretty much all the time. I don’t like it messy because then I can never find anything. My mom hates it when she can’t even walk to the closet to put clothes away. (I appreciate that she does for me, right?)

Today she took away my phone until I get my room cleaned up and I don’t know where to start.

Overwhelmed!

Where do you start when it’s just so much stuff? This ADHD kid is seriously overwhelmed by a never-ending messy room.

I have dirty dishes, moldy food, a few weeks’ worth of dirty clothes (and I don’t even own that many clothes), blankets, scraps of metal and plastic, wrapping paper from Christmas, dirt from my shoes, 2″ of dust, a dog bed, duct tape, marbles, .. it’s crazy in here. I look at it then something else happens and I never seem to get it cleaned up….

(Like, check out my facebook post where I wrote on an orange using a banana and a plasma ball. I’m not recommending you try this at home, I ended up breaking the plasma ball by dropping it.)

I don’t have an answer for this messy room thing yet.

And I hate losing my phone. 🙁

Help an ADHD kid with a messy room out here guys!

Give me your best suggestions to keep my room “neat”. If you write in, I’ll give your ideas a shot and blog about them.

[content-block title="Meet Jeff Rasmussen" color="orange"] Age: 18 City: Langley, BC Diagnosed with ADHD in Grade 7 Biggest Dream: I want to change the world for younger kids like me who are punished daily for having ADHD. Fave Class: Mechanics "I've got the plans in my head for a motorized scooter with a gas-powered engine that I'm actually capable of building." ADHD Superpower: "If I'm determined to do something, literally nothing can stop me. Nothing. Not bribes, not bullets... nothing." Fave Food: Hashbrowns (the kind you buy frozen, in a bag) Career Goals: Telecommunications Guru Life-Changing Event: Winning the WDS Scholarship for Real Life School Achievement: Completing Math & Socials 10 in just 8 weeks this summer. "School's like 99% fluff. Summer school is that, minus the fluff." Biggest Struggle: Even though I take medication I still have trouble staying on task, doing boring homework, remembering not to swear when I am angry or staying still through assemblies. (That's where some of my strategies come in.) [/content-block] [content-block title="An Average Kid with ADHD" color="purple"] My ADHD has been really bad and given me every bad experience you can imagine for a kid. Before medication teachers took away my recess, my gym classes, they put me in the hall, I have been suspended from school, and I never did my work because even though my tests say I’m “gifted” I couldn’t do it. When I first learned I had ADHD I was so happy that I wasn’t bad or broken, it had a name and an explanation for what was going on. [/content-block]
