IC_P: Taming Chaos: Making Your Space Work for Your Brain

Struggling to stay organized at home—especially when your brain is already juggling too much? Folks who are autistic, have ADHD, or are struggling with anxiety and/or depression often fall into this category. This workshop offers insight and practical tools for reclaiming your space and getting it to work with your brain, not against it.

A professional organizer with 8 years of experience begins the session with a short talk on how mental health and executive function difficulties affect personal organization. Then, watch a live demo as a messy desk is transformed using everyday items—showcasing simple, realistic strategies you can use at home right away.

Prerequisite: An interest in learning about the mental and emotional connections to personal organization difficulty, plus an interest in developing the skills to organize a desk.

Age: While the instructor can adapt instruction to any audience, it will be best if audience members can listen quietly during instruction.
