doom pile
The one and only ADHD method of organisational mess piles.
A pile of objects which have no place to be put, or end up there out of not bothering to put them somewhere better. Generally speaking, ADHD havers tend to have (or usually have) a doom pile or two. A doom pile may be random objects along with important things you don't want to misplace.
This can be an organised mess, but more often than not, is just a bunch of things piled. The owner of such a pile, however, often knows where a few of the things kept in the pile are at all times. Things will still go missing in doom piles no matter how well you try to manage such a pile.
WARNING: May be decluttered if suddenly you are drawn to cleaning for a 1-6 hour time period, possibly procrastinating from another more urgent task.

"Wow, there's a lot of stuff on this shelf! Is that the earring you lost behind that mug?"
"Ah, you found one of my doom piles. Yes, that does appear to be it, thanks!"
