318 The Real Reason You Can’t Get Organized (And What To Do About It)

Struggling to get organized? You’re not broken — you’re just an ADHDer with a real, overwhelmed brain.

In this episode, we’re ditching the shame spiral and unpacking why staying organized is so hard for ADHDers… and what actually helps. Spoiler alert: It’s NOT more bins.

If your home feels like a disaster zone, this one’s for you. We’ll talk about:

1. Why executive dysfunction—not laziness—is the real culprit
2. How emotional regulation (not time management) is the secret key to organizing
3. The connection between trauma and clutter
4. What Marie Kondo got right… and what she totally missed
5. The ADHD-friendly 3-pile system that actually works
6. How to help your kids without losing your mind
7. Why decision fatigue is derailing your decluttering
8. And how to redefine “organized enough” for your actual life

This episode is packed with practical strategies, permission slips, and empowering reminders that your messy house is not a moral failing.

Listen now, take what resonates, and leave the guilt behind.
