Introducing… DeCluttered At Last: Book Club and Coaching CircleĬutting through the clutter and living a simpler, more organized life when you have ADHD doesn't need to be an overwhelming or a monumentally difficult or tedious task. What you’re going to realize is just how much is to be gained from a home that is organized and clutter-free. Sure, your surroundings are going to shift, but this is going to have a lasting impact on more than just your ability to walk across a room without tripping on stuff.

When you look around you note the touches of a home: fresh flowers on the hall table. In the kitchen, you can smell dinner cooking in the slow cooker. You step through the door into a comfortable and cozy sanctuary. As you step further into the house your foot comes into contact with a discarded boot, nearly tripping you. There are random piles of things scattered throughout the place cluttering up your space and at-home experience. You can clearly see the pile of laundry waiting to be sorted on the couch. The mail has been dumped on the hall table so many times it’s now cascading to the floor.

Imagine yourself in one of these two scenarios: How many times have you looked around your home thinking "I've really got to get a handle on all this clutter!"
