Why Motivation Doesn’t Help You Declutter (What Works Instead for ADHD, Kids, and a Busy Life) #172

Do you ever look around your house and think—why can’t I just get it together? You’ve decluttered before. You’ve read the books. Maybe you even tried KonMari. But no matter how much you want a tidy home… it just doesn’t stick. Is it you? Or is it the system? Let me be real with you— motivation is not the answer. Not when you’re juggling ADHD, kids, clutter, and a never-ending to-do list. In this episode, I’m sharing exactly why motivation fails—and what actually works instead . No fluff. No shame. Just simple, intentional declutter strategies that hold up even on your messiest, most overwhelming days. We’ll talk about: • Why your brain isn’t broken (even if you feel like it is) • How to build systems that support your real life—not someone else’s version of “organization” • The small shifts that make a big difference when you’re trying to stay on top of clutter, mess, and chaos with a family If you’ve been stuck in the loop of starting and stopping… If you keep waiting to feel “ready” before decluttering again… Or if you’re craving a home that feels calmer—but don’t know where to start— This is the episode you need. Let’s ditch the guilt. Let’s drop the shame. Let’s build something that actually works. Mentioned in this episode: ➡️ 15-Minute Declutter Kickstart Guide – FREE download Thanks for listening!
