EZPocket Wall Hanger

First to recommend

5 people recommended this item

Description

This is great because it provides visual reminders while keeping track of key items. Tickets to a play the 27th? Put them in the 27th pocket, and there they are when the time comes. Sort of like a 43 Folders system, but without hiding the things you need in a place no one with ADD ever looks: the file drawer.

Post-it Durable Index Tabs

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

These are sturdy, they stick well, and you can write on them. Great for labelling a piece of paper with a "to do," such as "CALL THEM," or for just making it easy to identify in a meeting or a file full of papers. My best use for them is for reference papers. I have a 3-ring binder full of papers I refer to frequently, such as phone lists, billing codes, instructions and so on. Each one is in a clear document sleeve, and is labeled with one of these tabs for easy reference.

Lillian Vernon: Canvas 2-Sided Jewelry Organizer

First to recommend

Description

I have one of these, and I love it. I can see where everything is instead of hunting for something among several disorderly jewelry boxes, which saves time when I'm trying to get out the door. For those of us with Attention Deficit Disorder, it's important to be able to SEE where we have put things. We tend to be "out of sight, out of mind" sorts.

This would also be great for storing craft supplies or any number of other things. If I I get another one I'll use it to keep my beading tools organized--not just scissors and pliers and such, but wire and and needles and Thread Heaven and . . . I think I need to get another one!
