THIS IS A PERSONAL CALL OUT OMGGGGGGG💀 I didn't realise that it was an ADHD symptom. I just think "I have to do something mindless so that I'll be in work mode for the thinking stuff" Then just do a bunch of cleaning or organising and end up doing the task in the late hours😭

Right? Moving furniture around and cleaning is a complete zen moment for me, since I was 7 and I'm 34 now. No one use to test girls for ADHD when j was a kid, pretty sure they even said girls didn't get ADHD.

You mean you actual do the thing at the end of all the mad cleaning??? 😂 I am famous for a process that goes like this: "Hmmm I wanna do some yoga. Ohh but the house is messy and I can't concentrate on being in the flow. Better deep clean the entire house." **Never gets around to yoga and it's a miracle if I get my random cleaning projects wrapped up before bed**

Yeah, dreading something else is definitely the way to get a bunch of other horrors off of the list of things I've been failing to do. Especially if it's due and they're not 😩

Whenever im running late for something, especially work, is when i get in the superhuman mood to do tasks ive procrastinate doing the 12 hrs prior.

@@CoosaFlowerFarm why is this so relatable? Except mine was I needed to clean out the fridge, so I reorganized the pantry and cabinets instead, spending probably $100 in CLEAR organizer bins (no more outta sight, outta mind). Then tackled the fridge. It's still cluttered, but now I have an idea of what shelf the ingredients I need are on. Next is the kids' toys...they get a new toy each week from roommate, and a new toy every time they see Granny, which is at least 3 days a month. We went from two totes and a cloth bin to 6 totes, 4 cloth bins, 2 trunks, and an entire cabinet in 13 months...

The relatability of this is immaculate.

I always get called out on my "procrastination" and now I get why. Thank you for these clips and helping so many of us feel seen💞

Hahaha I literally decide that it’s the ideal time to purge me entire house just before a major exam…..because I can’t focus if the house is cluttered, it interferes with proper thinking, right? Just one more trip to the donation center….last time…..😅

It's amazing to me how much I relate to every video here. I was never diagnosed with ADHD even though my siblings were. The diagnosis i got was depression, and while i don't think that was wrong, that diagnosis didn't help me in school AT ALL.

My problem is I’ll have the energy to start projects like this and then my energy bottoms out half way and the mess got worse before it gets better

God my next three day weekend from work is literally gonna be me deep cleaning the house to where I can start working on a better life

I’ve never found a channel before that’s so accurately portrayed all of my symptoms! Thank you so much Olivia!

Omg THANK YOU- idk how to explain to my parents that it needs to feel like a refreshed/new space for me to be motivated to do work

I miss my ADHD exroomate😭 these shorts remind me of her sm

One time I woke up at the age of 10 and forced my mom to show me how to sew so I could make a dozen mini sleeping bags for my and my siblings stuffed animals. I have ASD and possibly ADHD(we have never gotten a diagnosis) but my mom was so done with my random outbursts of "I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna try this, let's clean the whole house" and then the next day I would be back to normal.

I had no idea that this was adhd related lol. I do this I’d say once a year or so. To each room

I used to clean my entire apartment before I could write a big paper or study for a test in college. I always called it productive procrastination. and then I could panic write an A paper. 😂

🤣🤣🤣 You know me so well. 🤣🤭 Today my hubby walked in to find me packing. I had boxes everywhere, several cabinet doors open, and all sorts of stuff on the counters, floor, etc. His reaction was priceless, but he knows how I am... 😆 I have other things that NEED to get done now; however I decided to pack up half of the house. The best part is, we aren't moving for 4-5 more weeks. 😆 I told him once I get this crap packed, I'll feel better and can focus on xy&z. He laughed and left me to it. 🤣

I don't have ADHD but I do this all the time 💀💀💀 i keep cleaning my room over and over again just to "get in the zone" to do my projects 😭 and then I take a bath bc I'm all sweaty

I feel so called out right now

I love you so much, thank you for making me feel like this is ok and I’m not weird, it makes me feel like I belong ❤

This is an absolute call out 😭 I literally did this 2 days ago

Bruh this is literally me, this is the whole reason I wanted my first 1st job

Why is this me? I swear, I've seen almost all your ADHD videos and I can relate to all of them.

Yeah the only time I can get stuff done is when I accidentally clean my whole room and then do homework clean out my fishing backpack take all the keycaps off my keyboard so I can clean it and lastly do my laundry

Oh GOOOOOD , these few hours of energy/ mania are soooo great! Not so much if they stop in the middle of it.

The unspoken ADHD code...anything to avoid the task 😂😂😂!!!

This was me whenever I had an essay due for university that week. The sudden urge to finally organize the kitchen the day before the deadline was confusing, but appreciated none the less, because when my place is clean and organized I feel sane again. Not that I am usually insane, I am just deeply affected by visual stimuli, which makes me super anxious and pretty cranky. 😂

I literally just did this. Finished cleaning the house 😭🫶🏻

Not me rearranging my room to prepare for an interview 😂

This mood always strikes at like 3 in the morning and I HAVE to do something about it 🤣😭

I just did this while my partner was at work and I had the child at home. They were so shock when the house was completely rearranged and the child was sleeping. I had to cook an extensive dinner and I was dreading so I randomly cleaned everywhere to help me get in the zone and be happy to cook!!!

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve done this, honestly.

now she just needs to show us how to get the help we need

This accurately reflects my entire college experience. My dorm room was never quite so clean as when I had a paper due in 3 hours that I’d barely started.

I totally get this. When I have an assignment due in 48 hours, I'll clean my kitchen, do several loads of laundry or a major project. I get it done and out of the way so when I do go to finish my assignment I have nothing to distract me. I like and loath this about me, just depends on the outcome.

Ah yes the wonderful productive procrastination, it feels so good

It’s the casually lifting the couch while still speaking normally for me-what is it about ADHD focus that allows you to pull off superhuman feats of strength without even realizing it??

I tend to get about halfway through ripping everything apart and then decide to stop so everything is worse and the paper still isn’t done 💀

This was me today, like I don’t even know where it all came from!!

I still vividly remember the day I opened one of our cabinets and couldn’t find something I was looking for. It was like a switch flipped in my brain and the next three hours were spent cleaning and redoing our entire cabinet system. My dad probably thought I went insane, but at least now we don’t have five separate half-full boxes of spaghetti.

Ok I literally just realized watching this video that I had a majorly RANDOM day of year where I rearranged every last piece of furniture in my room and just now I realized it was hyper fixation!

it's like playing chicken with a train - you can see and here it coming but you'll feel it in your bones when it's time to get off the tracks.

Omg thanks for reminding me to fold some laundry

I know I have ADHD and I haven't taken like an official "test" and I told my doctor but she didn't do anything for it or told me anything about trying to handle it better. Your videos help me to recognize when and we're my ADHD is occurring. At least by knowing when it happend its a good start.

As someone who lives alone and compares himself to HH Holmes with the amount of times I've built furniture or walls I relate to this on a spiritual level

This happens all the time to me I randomly decide to move one thing and then five minutes later the furniture is everywhere and I’m rearranging the whole room

I wasn't diagnosed but I just find your videos so relatable and very helpful...😄💕

Omg seeing this just triggered the home decorator in me and now I'm ✨🌟FIXATED 🌟✨

I DID THIS YESTETDAYYY! I moved everything in my room including my bed and yet that's how I got my room clean

Literally couldn't focus on my work today until I sweeped the house and put my clothes in the closet

For me I have ADD which is ADHD without the hyperactivity and I think this channel is so helpful and relatable ❤❤

I would bake cookies until midnight then study for big exams. Exams days, I’d always have cookies, no sleep, but somehow ready for the test.

I was told I may have ADHD recently and freaked, there's nothing wrong with it and it really doesn't affect me at all but I just had to know and your videos have really helped me to realize why I do certain things and helped me to deal with some of my symptoms

I desperately have to finish something on my computer so the bathroom finally got cleaned.

FUCK I HATE HOW ACCURATE THIS IS

I didn't know this could be related to ADHD. I just thought I was simultaneously lazy but motivated.

I was literally gonna rearrange my room before i started studying for a test

The rearranging thing would be me in my room, if I could lift my queen sized bed and Ikea furniture on my own... But I would re arrange it if I could, good to know that isn't just me. I have those moments where everything needs to be redone.

I do this. I do this every time I’m 3days behind on school and need to write 3 papers with a diagram before tomorrow

Not me doing every other task instead of what I’m supposed to do

THIS IS AN ADHD THING??!!?! god that explains so much

OMG... 😂 Might not be a paper for college for me, just anything important but uncomfortable that should get done makes me take care of every all the other minor tasks that have piled up but aren't really that urgent. 😂😂😂

When you do everything except what you were planning:

I'm leaving on vacation in 18hrs. I know what I need! To organize the bathroom cabinets! To bake all of our road trip snacks. And DIY personalized shirts. !!

I'm 34 years old and have been taking medicine for ADD/ADHD since I was 14ish. I never knew some of the things I did were so common in others with the same diagnosis. Your videos just showed up and I could relate so well. New sub here. Let's see what else explains some of my other weird traits.

Oh yeah, this is why about once every two months I totally reorganize my room and my shelves

Literally in the middle of an explosion of craft supplies of my own making…I may be half way through programming a new thing for work…but I’m sure that has nothing to do with it 😅

I do this but it’s more about me having decided to do something productive with my day but cleaning is so much better than studying so I clean to still feel good about myself despite not having done any schoolwork.

Please talk more about you’r touch schedule. One example isn’t enough - it was very helpful.

I did this the other day. I had been forced into cleaning the day before and hated it but woke up deep cleaned, basically created a new bedroom and accidently launched my parent into a cleaning frenzy and pissed off all of the other children forced to help lol

I feel this on a visceral level 😖

I am so happy I found you Olivia, I feel so seen 😭💜

This is something I have done many a times when I felt like there's something I need to be doing I would do the other thing adjacent to it that didn't really need to be done but it would help me get motivated to do the thing I needed to do just for me to do that thing and stop halfway through because I lost interest in doing it. I hate it too.

I haven’t been diagnosed but all of her videos describe me and now I’m worried. 😳

I literally needed to set up my laptop to do work at home. And decided I needed to tidy up my room to have an organized space prior to starting my work. Started at noon. Got done washing my entire bed sheet set. Them made the bed with the duvet quilt and decorative pillows. Did all of my laundry, organized my shoes. Vacuumed and mopped. Did the dishes. Got done at 8pm. Which is when I began to do work!!! Had to stay up until 4am to finish the spreadsheet report due the next day for work! 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ Crashed and ended up waking up an hour late for work. 🤷🏽‍♀️ what was the purpose of exhausting myself until I crash! 🤣🤣🤣 FYI: I work for my moms accounting firm, this report was for a new client intake meeting. thank God my mom is very understanding of my mental battle. We’ve established a system where everything I work on at home, is saved on a cloud for her to ALWAYS have access to them. Her team closed the deal, it’s a team effort. 🙌🏽 Love her for all the support and attempt to understand what I go through day in and out! 💜

I heard somewhere that the reason we do that is that the adrenaline works the same way as stimulants to help us focus. I have ADD, am on Adderall and have been for over 20 years. BUT, I wasn't diagnosed until I was 40. All that procrastinating and all those unfinished projects, it makes me sad. I can remember waiting until the last minute for the adrenaline rush that would let me overcome inertia and get going. Only I described it as working better under deadline, or something like that.

I THOUGHT THIS WAS JUST MY SPARKLE!!!

Me procrastinating washing my hair 😅

I will literally pile everything I'm 'working on' on the bed and when my bf gets home, if I took on too much, or started feeling unwell and hardly doing anything, he will complain there is no room in it for him and it must be cleared. This is a regular occurence for years now. From rearranging, unopened mail, laundry, sewing, to paperwork, dinner, and coloring for stress relief. I also have somewhat crippling migraines and chronic dizziness. There are 5 unopened mail here now. I don't want to deal with it yet or the garbage it will make and I have t minus 3 hours until no doubt an absolute fit.

I bought a fish, set up his tank, etc, the night before a test. Best impulse purchase ever (I had already researched it, don’t buy a fish on a whim if you don’t know what you’re doing)

Spent more time cleaning my room than actually doing the assignment Sunday night

I know this well I once mowed the lawn bagged all plant waste around our house vacuumed all carpets and cleaned the entirety of the basement the reset button huts hard
