Weird Things I Do to Keep a Cleanish House


Listen Later

You're not bad at cleaning. You just don't have the systems. 

When I was a kid, my room was so messy my mother hung a dolphin shower curtain across my shelves to hide it.

Like, a full shower curtain. With blue dolphins on it. On brand for me at the time. And it worked great until the mess behind it got so big the curtain couldn't hold it anymore.

I always thought I was incompetent. Turns out I just didn't have the systems. Here's how I tricked my ADHD brain into keeping a cleanish house.

This episode is for you if:

  • You've rewashed the same load three times because it smells like regret
  • Your kitchen bench regenerates clutter faster than you can clear it
  • You've genuinely considered moving house instead of cleaning the one you have

In this episode I share:

  • Why cleaning feels so hard (it's decision fatigue, not laziness)
  • Theme days: the alliteration brain hack
  • The cleaning playlist that tricks your brain
  • Catch-all baskets: batching the mess
  • The five-minute rule and why momentum builds dopamine
  • AM/PM resets: putting the house to bed

Your Messy Life Reset: 

Now that you’re clear on how to work with your brain (and not against it)... go back and complete your Messy Life Reset. I’ll walk you through it step-by-step in Season 2, episodes 1 and 2.
