Episode 129: Organising and Decluttering for Our ADHD Brains
Spring cleaning energy is upon us, and I have been tackling some cleaning and clearing this weekend. For this reason, I wanted to share a snippet of my conversation with professional organiser, entrepreneur, and author Vicky Silverthorn. Vicky started her business, You Need A Vicky, over 12 years ago, back in the days when people hadn't heard of this job role.
If a messy, disorganised environment makes you feel anxious, or perhaps decluttering and having minimal clutter helps you feel internally calmer, or maybe you're desperate to clear out but unsure where to begin - this episode is for you!
During this episode, Kate and Vicky speak about:
OCD and ADHD
Vicky's burnout story and understanding how her ADHD has presented
Reframing simplicity and productivity with an ADHD slant
The impact of decluttering on our mental health
Separating sentimentality and clutter
Creative, simple, sustainable systems to stay organised
Easy ways to start decluttering and organising for an ADHD brain
Getting the motivation to de-clutter
Why an ADHD brain benefits from clean and tidy environments
You can connect with Vicky on her website, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.
