Organizing Tips and Ideas for Crickets

LOL! love the ending. I am scatterbrained too! Start 3 project / 3 hobby and never get anything done. LOL!

Im definitely a butterfly with a touch of bee and cricket. Its complicated, lol.

Listening to this makes me think I’m a cricket But I’ve learned to loosen up. I found out long ago that micro organization made me frustrated because it was never right and I was constantly changing it. I took the test and got Bee BUT I hate things in the open, but I like things visual behind doors. I pile things up and won’t put it away until I have the right place for it… but I don’t like when everything is out in the open because it makes me anxious.

I have things organized in my closet by color like a bee, I have a drawer I stuff related items into like a ladybug. I have binders by type of meat in my kitchen for hello fresh recipes like a cricket, organized alphabetically lol

Your so funny , I freakin love you! Btw, thanks for helping me realize that I'm a cricket, great job! I subscribed 👍

OMG I so relate to the 'stayed to the end' - I'm exactly the same! Millions of ideas with nowhere NEAR enough action!!!

why finishing anything - just flutter❤

ADHD solution is to take action immediately on ideas. All ideas are received with the energy to support getting it done. This can be writing it down immediately or physically doing it. The action inspires more rewarding energy to keep taking action. All ideas are supporting you to create more amazing directions to help others. Go with the flow, don't try to stop it. BE SPONTANEOUS! But never force yourself. This method helped me accomplish goals in an easier way, instead of forcing myself to attain the goal.

I know this video is a few years old but I wanted to say that you really got me thinking about the other people in my home. My son is now 18 years old. He still never puts his laundry away. We have sorted through his dresser drawers many time and gotten rid of lots of stuff but he still doesn't put his clothes away. I happened to think that maybe he is the kind of bug that needs the opened bins with no lids. So I am considering getting rid of his dresser and putting in some open shelving with baskets for him to just put all of his jeans or shirts or underwear in. He is the kind of bug that needs to see everything...at least I think so. Just about everything he owns in his room is on an open shelf being displayed.

I think I must be Cricket and Ladybug - I get stressed out by my own lack of organizing. ;-)

Cricket is totally me!!! In this video there was a planner. Could you tell me where to find that planner? It looked perfect for me!!

I'm definitely a cricket. Lol. I just reorganized my pantry for like the fifth time since moving into this house and kinda got onto my fiance (who I think is either a butterfly or a ladybug) about him messing up my organization system every time I reorganize. 😅 I'm just looking for that perfect system that he can't possibly destroy. 😂

Oh no, I am a cricket! I have piles everywhere to organize.

I don't like how us Bees and Crickets have to compromise their styles for the Butterflies and the Lady Bugs! This is a great example of life and how sometimes square pegs have to fit in round holes.

At first I thought I was a butterfly but realized I’m a bee. After watching this I do have cricket tendencies. I was living with a lady bug and it drove me crazy.

Hey Cas! I'm also an all-over- place type.
To help me focus, I do emotional regulation using the Practise by a psychologist utuber called the crappy childhood fairy, it's done wonders for me.
Also through your 4 type bug organiser, I finally found the diarising system that works for me. So, I am indebted to you! Thank you, thank you thank you!!!! I will probably upload that video of my diary system on one of my 2 websites.
I'm Faatima Kriel, by the way, lol I'm a Physiotherapist and a Teacher as well. I'm on Instagram with 3 Instagram pages linking to my websites.
All the best, you Awesome Lady!❤❤❤❤

Bug/cricket combo here. Inw of the many "symptoms" of my untreated adhd.

I am definitely a Cricket! I am an adult who has had ADHD for most of my life (I am 60 years young now) along with being a perfectionist and having a tendency towards OCD personality disorder. I am currently working on Decluttering my house and I still have a long way to go but I will definitely get there.

You are totally awesome !!

The need for me to have the storage or make the time to put it in a specific place, category, etc!!!!! Definitely a cricket! 😭

My husband always asked me why that pile still there!? Honestly would pile them in the same category but had no place to put them (mentally)

So when I have a system, if my husband doesn’t follow it I also lose motivation!! And get so anxious

I'm a cricket.....with 5 kids and of course the husband 😢. I love watching all your videos because I can take styles from all the bugs to try to make it easier for others to put things away properly. ❤

Ok am I the only one that leaves stuff out to remind myself to do it. But then don’t 🤣🤣 and ends up putting it away? I think I’d be happier just putting it away and then dragging it out again. But here I am with piles of to do’s

You helped me soooo much to understand myself ❤

Wow I so relate and always have 1 last pile left.

I am a cricket n ladybug

Yep that’s me! Struggling cricket. Can’t find that perfect system and overwhelmed

😱😔 🦗

I have noticed a trend…. Crickets are expected to do a little more macro organizing and taking lids off but I don’t see the other bugs being told to do a little more micro organizing and using lids to reduce the visual clutter and mess. Seems a bit one sided to me.

I’m a cricket 100% me

I just love you!

I’m a cricket!

Thank you so much Cas! I am a cricket! I love filing cabinets. I am not organized and have piles of clutter.
Paralyzing is so true!
❤

I'm am definitely a cricket😂

I am a cricket and this makes me feel so seen! Something I've struggled with is not having the resources (money and physical stamina particularly) to set up the amazing system I want and I have always lived in homes with inadequate number of closets and no organizing system within the closet. Letting go a little means I can accept certain things being visible as long as they are pretty.

Oh my goodness! I'm such a cricket over here that I was chirping while watching the video!

I kept pausing the video because I wanted to see the still shots of the organizing systems to get ideas!!!

But I want to thank you so much for helping me see that I'm really not crazy, but I've got to let up so that I can get things put away.

We JUST moved into a new home over the weekend. and, I'm putting the spices away and wanting them to look like a storefront while I have about 85 boxes to open and set things up enough for my family to be able to function.🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

Thank you for your direct and bold communication style, I’m learning I may be undiagnosed ADHD and friends have joked that I’m textbook but in more “Truck-driver” or “Sailor” vocab😂. According to your quiz, im a bee 🐝 I’m also an interior designer who has felt like I’ve been in a holding pattern as far as projects and business goes I’m chasing my own arse. Re-organizing my systems, or just not having time to use them total procrastination paralyzation. When cleaning out my office, I found five articles on decluttering that were buried in the clutter head. I just read the first one in those two minutes it would’ve taken years could’ve been saved.SMH my business has not had a niche, and since I am a jack of all trades, I take on some projects that don’t excite me perhaps. my business was catering towards interior design and home renovations. Then I started taking on event planning when people would ask me for help and what I have learned since Covid is that I really do enjoy organizing (before, and after are my jam! ) so I think that should be the start point to my interior design business. I’m in the middle of getting my certification from your ClutterBug course. Thank you for offering it at such a reasonable price there is no excuse for me not to.

I'm a Cricket/Bee!! Now I understand my madness. 😂 Hopefully I can get my house decluttered soon. I know it help me in every area of my life. ❤

OMG! Thank you! You have absolutely described me! OMG!

An ADHD cricket, the struggle is real!!

If this Cass only knew that she does all that and becomes a firefighter too! Amazeballs! ❤ Her!

I thought I’m a lady bug because I want to be a cricket so bad but i’m just a hot mess lol .. i think lady bug is the perfect organization to start and force yourself to get organized

I took the lids off some containers but now they need a container.

Wow, I've found my "twin"! 😂🥰😅

TIL ... I am a cricket. Wow. You are the best. Thank you.

First time ever someone has described me to the T. Why I have piles everywhere and call myself as a perfectionist at the same time. I'm 73 and just finished raising my grandson. Crazy life. We need to downsize and organize at the same time. We are rending and I don't want to move before things are orderly and perfect but the piles.............

Hello from a Cricket with ADHD to another ADHD, LOL. I totally understand all the spinning. You may have too much input coming in. You may need to pick a few things and thank everyone for the extra stuff, but say no thank you. Like you said, dial it down a little. NO I am by no means an expert.
As a Cricket, part of my issue is the ideas to organize don't always come to me, or I look around the house and just can't figure out where to put things. So, there goes another pile to start. I'm also doing genealogy and talk about piles, Lordy, lordy do I have piles. I wish I had a system for that when I started over 20 years ago. I'd love for someone to assist, but of course, they won't do it my way. Even if I don't know what that way is.

Chirp, chirp goes 🦗 cricket 🦗❤

I’m so Cricket it’s painful 😅

I’m a cricket and have watched Cas for a few years … this 7 year old video just came up on my feed … it makes my heart smile 🥰thank you Cas for all you do ❤️🌈~Angela (I just saw your video today in 2025 and you mentioned a squirrel 😉)

I took your exam a couple of times and I always get ladybug as a result, and I felt like I know in my heart it doesn’t seem like me. I took it again, maybe I was cheating to myself while answering some of the questions 😂. And the result was cricket, while listening to your explanation about it, I kept gasping how accurate it is to me. And I am exactly a cricket! Thank you, Cas!
