I'm 44m. I was diagnosed with ADHD 4 years ago. My home living space is a constant chaotic mess. Or at least it used to be.

I was buying some art supplies for my son at the start of the summer, and needed some cases for his pens and markers. On Amazon, I found these Plastic Zipper Pouches that come in all sorts of colours and sizes. They're quite sturdy and you can write on them with sharpies.

My son didn't need so many, and they come in this big pack.

I had quite a few left over and I hate waste so I started using them myself.

First for stuff in my home office like pens and paper clips... And then stuff in my the bathroom like hair and skin care products... And then stuff from the living room like unused batteries... And bit by bit, everything that makes a mess in my home, office, or garage got packed into a bag. With it's own label and colour.

This was the gamechanger for me.

• When I'm searching for something, I can see into every bag. I don't need to rummage to find it so I'm not pulling everything apart.
• When I take it out, instead of upsetting a whole shelf or digging down into the bottom of a box, it's just this one specific bag.
• It's easier to repack one little bag than one big box. I can put small bags inside of big bags for grouping.
• Arranging the bags on my shelves and in drawers or boxes in order of colour is just so satisfying that I've somewhat 'gamified' putting things back for myself.

I now have 72 bags [A6-A4 sizes] and I spent €60 in total.
