🌿 Welcome to Lists & Lost Things 🌿

If you’re new here: Hi, I’m really glad you found this space.

This group exists for people who:
• have ADHD or beautifully wired brains
• feel overwhelmed by “normal” organization advice
• lose lists…while actively making lists
• want systems that work with their energy, not against it

This is a shame-free, perfection-not-required zone. We talk about gentle resets, realistic routines, clutter without guilt, and doing the best we can with the brains and lives we have.

You’ll see:
✔️ simple, flexible organization ideas
✔️ encouragement on hard days
✔️ tools that don’t assume unlimited focus or motivation
✔️ reminders that you are not broken

✨ Start wherever you are. Lurk if you need to. Jump in when it feels safe.

If you want to explore printable tools and resources made for this exact kind of brain, you can find them here (I’m slowly creating more!):
👉 http://www.inkandpaperdigitals.com

Optional hello (only if you want!):
💬 What’s one thing you’re hoping gets a little easier lately?

I’m really glad you’re here,
Tori 💛

Today at our annual Thanksgiving potluck, my daughter ate exactly two things: corn casserole and boxed cookies.
And honestly? That’s okay.

For years, I stressed over making her try “just one bite.” But parenting an autistic child means unlearning a LOT of old food rules.
Today I told her, “There are no eating rules here. Just memories to be made.”

And you know what? She laughed, she talked, she felt safe.
That matters more than any menu.

To any parent navigating sensory needs or limited safe foods during the holidays—
You’re not failing. You’re supporting.
And your kids will remember the joy, not the plate.

Save this for when the holiday pressure kicks in. ❤️

Drop a ❤️ if holiday food pressure is something you’re unlearning too.

ADHD brain? Busy parent brain? Tired human brain?
Online grocery ordering saves you from yourself — in the best way.

This morning did not go as planned.
I was lying perfectly still when my dog suddenly decided it was time to clock in at 5 AM 😂

Normally, I’d drag him back into bed and do the “I’m definitely still asleep” act…
but something I’d just read in “Indistractable” by Nir Eyal came back to me:

✨ “The body gets what the body needs.”

So instead of fighting the morning, I leaned into it.
Started the coffee.
Sat with the quiet.
Let the day begin softly instead of with chaos.

And honestly…I think my brain needed that more than sleep.

If you’ve been craving a pause today — this is your sign to take a soft start. ☕✨

I’m spending the rest of the morning creating new stickers and digital files.
If you want to see what’s new, everything’s linked in my bio or @InkAndPaperDigitals.com 🤎

↡ Save this if you want a reminder for your next slow morning.

✨ Sometimes the win is simply stirring a pot of chili after a week that’s been a lot. Between family, work, and all the things I can’t control, this pot feels like proof that I’m still showing up.

Past Me had my back, and Future Me is so grateful. 💕 After a long work trip + park time with the kids + thrifting detour, dinner could’ve been chaos. No frozen pizza? No problem. 🙌 Frozen ravioli + jarred sauce = quick lasagna + garlic bread win. 🍝🥖

The “rule” says: if you don’t use it, let it go.

But I didn’t donate this shelf. I moved it across the room and gave it a totally different job - storing puzzles, kids’ books, and corralling the internet/router mess. No more toys that the kids don’t play with mixed with junk they don’t want to take the time to put in all of its places.

Sometimes breaking the “rules” actually works better for ADHD brains. We don’t always need less stuff - we just need our stuff in the right spot. Plus, who can afford to buy all new things right now? Repurposing is the way to go!

✨ What organizing “rule” do you love to break?

🦈 POV: You skipped your nightly reset…and the Doom Pile smelled blood.

Dirty dishes. Random papers. Last night’s leftovers still judging me from the stovetop.

This isn’t a “deep clean” kind of day - it’s a save yourself before the chaos spreads kind of day.

⏲️ Timer set: 10 minutes.
🎯 Goal: Contain the beast.
☕️ Mood: Progress over perfection.

💬 If you had 10 minutes right now, what would you clean first? 🤔

📍Ever feel like your house reflects your brain…and both need a hard reset?

This 10-minute reset wasn’t fancy. No deep clean. No matching bins. Just me, a timer, and a few small wins.

🎙️ I’m walking you through everything I’m doing in this video - voice-over style - because sometimes hearing the why makes it easier to try.

I didn’t wait for motivation (because that rarely shows up on time). I used the energy I had to clear one space, build a little momentum, and show Future Me some kindness.

💡 This isn’t about catching up - it’s about resetting forward.

✨ If your brain feels like a browser with 17 tabs open, this is your sign to start with just one corner, one task, or one minute. Let it count.

Tiny task. Big win.

No overthinking. No fancy system. Just a label, a marker, and a small reset that helped me feel more like me again. ✨

I finally upgraded our dog’s chaotic old toy bin into something that actually works—for both of us. 🙌

✅ Only kept the toys he actually uses
✅ Found the cutest white bin on clearance
✅ Instant visual peace (and fewer squeakers underfoot)

Small resets like this make a big difference in how a space feels. You don’t have to organize everything at once. One corner, one swap, one win. 🐾✨

🎥 Drop zone magic, dog edition.

⏲️ Just 5 minutes. One shelf. One tiny thrift win.

I found these metal risers for under $5 today and immediately knew I had to put them to use—because let’s be real…if I didn’t? I’d forget about them in a corner until next season.

So I gave myself permission to just fix one shelf. Not the whole cabinet. Not the whole kitchen. Just this one tiny zone.

This is your sign to stop waiting for the perfect time to organize. You don’t need a makeover—you just need a moment.

Start small. Stack a win. Spark a little momentum. ✨ It still counts.

👋 Hey, I’m Tori!

If you’ve ever felt like you’re juggling life with mismatched socks, a half-charged phone, and a brain full of tabs—welcome. You’re my people.

I’m a special education teacher, adoptive mom of two incredible teens, and a forever work-in-progress when it comes to organizing life with a neurodivergent brain. I write about resets, rhythm, rest, and real-life routines that don’t require a personality transplant.

This space isn’t about perfect. It’s about progress. And if you’ve ever needed permission to start over (again), I’m so glad you’re here.

✨ Let’s do this the messy, meaningful way—together.

Sometimes progress isn’t perfect—it’s just done enough to get you through.

I opened this cabinet looking for one thing and found a mini disaster instead 😩. I didn’t have the time (or the spoons) to do a full overhaul, but I did something. And that’s enough for today.

You can always come back and improve it later. Perfection isn’t required—especially when you’re mid-task and just trying to stay on track.

Found a little doom pile hiding out in my chair—and today was the day I tackled it. When the energy (or time) to clean an entire room isn’t there, I focus on just one small zone. My favorite tip? Sort items into piles based on where they belong—another room, a storage bin, a drawer, a bookshelf—whatever makes it easier to put them away when you’re ready. Progress over perfection, one tiny corner at a time. 💪✨

I just cleaned this table a couple of weeks ago… and here we are again. 😅

Cleaning and organizing can feel like a never-ending cycle, especially when life gets overwhelming. I’m learning to stop beating myself up over the mess and just let it be until I have the energy to tackle it again.

If you’re in the same boat—struggling to keep up or feeling discouraged—please know you’re not alone. Progress isn’t linear, and you don’t need to have it all together all the time. 💪💖
