Megs delves into the concept of letting go, not just of physical items, but also tasks, expectations, and commitments that overwhelm our daily lives. She shares personal experiences and practical strategies for dealing with prioritization challenges, time blindness, and mental overload that are common for individuals with ADHD. Megs also introduces the idea of a potential organizing tour across the US as she plans to move from Colorado to Massachusetts. She highlights the importance of saying 'no' and reevaluating commitments to make room for decluttering and organizing. The episode wraps up by encouraging listeners to focus on the small steps that lead to achieving larger goals and provides insights for future advocacy in the ADHD community.
