Decisions must be made...

Last night I read about a decision-making system designed to help children with ADHD. I think adults who need help with decision-making while cleaning and decluttering might like trying it out as well. I know sometimes I get overwhelmed with all the possible tasks and options before me, which can slow me down quite a bit.

The decision-making process is called KITE.

K--Know your situation. Take in the specifics and details.

I--Identify your choices and options. List out each plan and the good and bad points of each.

T--Try the best plan.

E--Evaluate how it worked or didn't.

Taken from The Survival Guide for Kids with ADD or ADHD by John F. Taylor, Ph.D.

I'll let you know if I find it useful this week as I do some spring cleaning!

Mar. 15 Free Shred Day

I tend to list shred days really far in advance, so here's a reminder for the next free local shred day. (And it turns out the free City of Austin one is returning in May.) I have more than two boxes, so we'll see what happens.
