You can’t find anything on your desk and your place is a wreck. Laundry needs folding, clothing is everywhere, paperwork is out of control, and you’re famous for being chronically late to every appointment. You are also really smart, powerful, passionate, social, and creative.
And you’d rather have a root canal, than de-clutter the hall closet.
For people with ADHD being organized and having a good relationship with time is by far among the most challenging aspects of this neuro-behavioral disorder. Dr. Sari Solden, an expert in this field, writes that people with Attention Deficit Disorder are “gifted at being disorganized.” To unhook from the feelings of failure (e.g., “I can’t do it,” “I’ve never been organized”) will require using creative energy and ideas to try new ways of being and feeling more organized.
Regina Lark is a specialist in helping people with ADHD by restructuring priorities, renegotiating the relationship with “stuff,” and redefining what it means to be organized. Women especially are mired in long “to do” lists, endless demands on their time, and feelings of failure when they can’t do it all (and really, no one can!).
Here’s how Regina can help:
It’s a fact; a person with ADD is hard to love. You never know what to say. It’s like walking through a minefield. You tiptoe around; unsure which step (or word) will be the one that sets off an explosion of emotion. It’s something you try to avoid.
People who have ADD/ADHD are suffering. Life is more difficult for them than the average person. Everything is intense and magnified.

Specialist Regina Lark coaches one-on-one to change your relationship to clutter, to your things, to your space:
Based on our conversations – we will design a program specific for your needs. Services could include a combination of modalities (hands-on de-cluttering, vision board work, time management, etc).
3-month phone coaching session which looks like 4, 1-hour calls per month, and we can divide the time as you want.
In our calls we discuss creating/setting/meeting realistic goals, follow-through and time management skill building, re-habituating relationships to mail, school/art papers, financial papers/bills, household management (do you use a family calendar?), and anything you want to bring to the table.
