318 The Real Reason You Can’t Get Organized (And What To Do About It)

Listen Later

Struggling to get organized? You’re not broken — you’re just an ADHDer with a real, overwhelmed brain.

In this episode, we’re ditching the shame spiral and unpacking why staying organized is so hard for ADHDers… and what actually helps. Spoiler alert: It’s NOT more bins.

If your home feels like a disaster zone, this one’s for you. We’ll talk about:

  • Why executive dysfunction—not laziness—is the real culprit
  • How emotional regulation (not time management) is the secret key to organizing
  • The connection between trauma and clutter
  • What Marie Kondo got right… and what she totally missed
  • The ADHD-friendly 3-pile system that actually works
  • How to help your kids without losing your mind
  • Why decision fatigue is derailing your decluttering
  • And how to redefine “organized enough” for your actual life

    • This episode is packed with practical strategies, permission slips, and empowering reminders that your messy house is not a moral failing.

    Listen now, take what resonates, and leave the guilt behind.
