Mental vs. physical disorganization

For women struggling with ADD disorganization is common and often a serious problem. ADD women may be unable to organize their homes, offices, or lives. To outsiders, such disorganization is not always visible. Women who lead professional lives may have assistants, secretaries, and cleaning services to assist them. Some may have a partner who compensates for their organizational dysfunction. Those without such assistance may have such clutter and so many piles that others wonder how she manages in such disarray.

Other women with ADD find clutter and disorganization an incredible distraction. These distractions, coupled with the responsibilities of everyday life, lead to mental disorganization as the scattered brain struggles to store, weed out, and organize in a logical fashion. For these women, being tidy and organized equals survival. Unfortunately, for those with this trait, when coupled with difficulty shifting attention, attempts to get organized may lead to over organizing to the point it engulfs their life. Once on a path to get organized, it may be impossible to shift, even once the task is complete.
