Episode notes
One-Time Organizing Rarely Solves ADHD Clutter
- ADHD makes one-time organizing insufficient because maintenance demands and habits differ from situational clutter.
- Organize around what actually works for your brain instead of catalog ideals.
Couple With Situational Clutter
- Asher worked with a couple whose clutter was situational after life changes and large home space.
- Once organized they could maintain it, unlike typical ADHD cases.
Maintenance Is The Hard Part
- Maintenance is the critical part of organization because stuff continually enters your space.
- Expect ongoing reevaluation even if you are intentionally minimalist.
