What is the pile system?

The "pile system" refers to an organization method where individuals, particularly those with ADHD, tend to pile their belongings in a manner that makes intuitive sense only to them. This might occur in various places, like kitchens, bedrooms, or offices. Although some might employ this system temporarily during activities like unpacking or receiving gifts, for those with ADHD, this is a sustained method of organization. However, the system often proves ineffective, especially when they need to locate specific items or if anyone else disrupts the piles, highlighting the unique challenges faced by individuals with this condition 1 .
