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

Kate's new four-part workshop series, Regulating Your ADHD Nervous System, is available here.
