Several years ago when I was writing more posts about homemaking someone suggested I produce an ADHD Home Management binder. I laughed. A lot. Because I am absolutely not an expert on managing a home with or without ADHD.
But I will say I've come to terms with how ADHD affects my ability to manage my home. And I've developed systems that work FOR ME. I don't claim to know how to help everyone.
In this podcast episode I discuss simple household management and cleaning schedules.
I'll break down five ways to simplify your home management, including:
Plan less. Stop making massive to-do lists.
Cook less. Simplify your meal planning and cooking.
Choose just one planner or calendar.
One day per week take a break from household chores.
Limit your use of apps on your phone. The more apps you have to check-in with each day, the more time you will spend on said apps.
The second part of the podcast is around cleaning schedules.
I have women ask me every day for specific cleaning schedules, tips, hacks etc. I don't do hacks, I can only tell you what works for me.
The Bottom Line is this : DO WHAT YOU CAN, WHEN YOU CAN. That's it. Keep it that simple.
