Does organizing feel impossible when your brain is already overwhelmed? Whether you have been diagnosed with ADHD or just feel scattered during seasonal transitions, this episode has practical strategies that will actually work for the way your brain is wired. Janet Taylor, your Life Organizer, sits down with Kenna Lee, certified professional organizer, ADHD specialist, and founder of Calm Spaces. Kenna holds certifications in Brain-Based Conditions, Chronic Disorganization, ADHD, and Life Transitions through NAPO and the Institute of Challenging Disorganization — and she brings both professional expertise and deep empathy to every conversation. In this conversation you will learn: -Why fall is one of the hardest seasons for people with ADHD — and why the overwhelm is not just in your head. -How routines reduce decision fatigue and free up the mental and physical energy you need to get through the day. -The runway analogy that will change how you think about every horizontal surface in your home. -Why clear containers are one of the simplest and most effective tools for an ADHD brain — and how they reduce overbuying at the same time. -How to use your phone calendar like a personal accountability coach to stay on track without adding new systems. -The one quick win you can do in 10 minutes today to feel immediate relief and motivation. -How Kenna controls impulse buying with one simple Amazon rule — and how asking for experiences instead of gifts keeps clutter from creeping back in. Organizing with Janet: A client who traveled frequently came home to bags and piles of mail her brother had collected while she was away. Janet sorted everything into categories — bills, travel, medical, junk —alphabetized the bills, and cleared the chaos completely. One system, onesession, back on track. Taylor's Tip Time: Five tools for an ADHD-friendly home — a shoe rack by the door, a hook for keys and IDs, a basket for incoming mail and outgoing items, a whiteboard for 90-day goals and reminders, and a lazy Susan to keep things visible and accessible without creating clutter. TossItTuesday: Janet tossed the button box — inherited from her mother, full of buttons for clothes long gone. Is it time to touch your DIY or sewing stash? Resource Roundup: Lazy Susans for bathrooms, countertops, and cabinets. Book suggestion: Janet's ebook Prepared and Organized — seven areas to tackle during challenging times.
