As you know by now, I have ADHD. I was diagnosed with it when I was 16 and I have had treatment for it since then, including taking medication. I also love to DIY.

I have a Cricut Explore 3, which was actually gifted to me by Cricut a few years ago when I worked with them on a campaign, but I had bought myself a Cricut Explore 2 the year before, and I was using it to make labels then too.

 A comment I get a lot, especially when I share videos about home organization, is that I'm very organized. I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 16 so since then I have learned a lot of different things that I can do that help manage my ADHD. One of those things is staying organized. Organization is not a skill that I come by naturally. In fact, as a kid, I very distinctly remember cleaning up my room one day and a friend that I grew up with came over and said "wow, I didn't even know you had a floor in your room!" It is something that I work towards every single day. I'm constantly reorganizing things in order to stay on top of it. So today I want to share with you some of my home organization tips to help you stay more organized in case you're neurodivergent or you have trouble staying organized as well.
