Don't Limit the Launch Pad to the Front Door

Thoroughly ADHD

Ever felt the frustration of searching for everyday essentials when you're already running late? That's where the magic of launch pads comes in – but not just by your front door. As someone living with ADHD, I've discovered that expanding this simple organizational concept throughout my home has revolutionized my daily functioning and dramatically reduced my executive function demands.
In this episode, I reveal how I've implemented specialized launch pads in multiple areas of my home – from my zombie-state morning coffee station to my streamlined getting-ready space that eliminates decision fatigue.
The beauty of the launch pad approach lies in how perfectly it addresses executive function deficits common in ADHD. By creating external structures that compensate for difficulties with planning, organization, working memory and time management, you're essentially designing your environment to work with your brain rather than against it. These designated spots encourage returning items after use, building muscle memory that becomes increasingly automatic over time. The result? Less frustration from constantly misplacing things, improved efficiency, better time management, and significantly more mental energy available for what truly matters. Whether you're diagnosed with ADHD or simply seeking practical organization strategies, these launch pad principles can transform your relationship with your living space and daily routines.
