The chapter explores the challenges individuals with ADHD face when decluttering and offers strategies like breaking tasks into smaller areas and managing distractibility to help maintain focus and motivation. It also discusses tips such as using the Pomodoro technique, gamifying tasks, and finding a cognitive behavioral therapist who understands ADHD and hoarding tendencies.
