Wow Heather! I found your podcast after getting Audible and listening to an E book on clutter and ADHD, and I am so glad I did. I am all the way in Perth, Australia, and I have been diagnosed with ADHD this year. Your podcast is hands down the easiest and best to listen to for me. Some of the things you mention make me laugh out loud because it sounds exactly like me. Your realistic tips and tricks have already helped me so much on my journey. Thank you!!! 💗

Please do a video on keeping flat surfaces clean 🧼

Thank you, Heather! I used this in order to cope with taking my dog to the vet. It worked and I was able to get it over with. ❤ 🐾

Great advice. Thanks!❤

I have found that packing a vacuum bag and then using it to put dirty clothes in is great. I roll it up and put pressure on it with my knees to get the air out. I’m an odd duck. 😁

Thank you for your ideas!❤

Awesome advice. Thank you for all you do.

Great advice as usual.❤

Amen! This was a game changer in my declutterring journey.

Thank you Heather and Maddy. This was so helpful!❤❤

So helpful, thank you!

Loved this one! Sometimes we just need someone to say we have permission to declutter gifts even if we are adults. 🙂

That’s cool!

You explain sunk cost better than anyone else I’ve heard.❤

With respect, thr difference between hoarding and clutter isn't the amount of stuff a person has on their doming room table or in their homes. The difference is the *relationship* the person has with their stuff. With hoarding, the person experiences great distress at the thought of losing their belongings, even demonstrably useless items such as trash and unrepairable items. With clutter, or extreme clutter, the person *wants* the items gone, or downsized because the more items the more stress is generated. Extreme clutterers often suffer from executive function (decision making and executing) disorder. They struggle with keeping order in their homes, and with deciding how to manage their belongings. The saying "clutter is just delayed decisions" is absolutely applicable with these folks. My mother struggled with extreme clutter, and it is one of the reasons I became a MFCC (Marriage, Family, Child Counselor). Both hoarders (whose belongings bring them comfort, and extreme clutterers whose belongings bring them anxiety, deserve our help and support, and I commend you for providing it. But it is important to understand the difference between them, to ensure the best sustainable outcome. Hoarders do tend to respond well to medication. But don't often get treated because they don't feal there is anything wrong and so don't want or won't accept help. Extreme clutterers on the other hand, recognize the problem and are often open to help provided it doesn't add to their sense of shame and overwhelm. It must be handled with respect, sensitivity and understanding. Unfortunately people with executive function disorders (EF Disorders) are more difficult to treat with medication. Stimulants such as ritalin, focalin and other newer drugs can help make the decision making process easier for many, but not all. The treatment, which should include some form of talk therapy (to address anxiety and shame issues) needs to be individually tailored to the person, and involves a lot of trial and error. It can be a long process which can be difficult for those who struggle with follow through (such as those with EF disorder) to stick with. It can be frustrating, but for those who get the help (Rx and/or talk therapy) and implement supportive structure into their lives (checklists for house tidying, and the processing and management of their belongings), it can greatly reduce the anxiety surrounding decision making in their lives and lead to a sense of personal liberation.

Great vid with many valid points! I live in Seattle and can totally relate. If someone has so much clothes it’s impossible to do a reverse hanger technique, it might be best to first organize the clothes by function/type.. all the polos together, all the chinos together, all the tshirt and so on.. then organize each type by color.. if you start seeing you have 8 white T-shirts’, or 5 pairs of black jeans it may be beneficial to donate what you don’t wear from each category..

Nice Video! Sorry for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you researched - Rozardner Amazing Soup Reality (probably on Google)? It is a good one off guide for revealing the simple method to declutter your home without the normal expense. Ive heard some super things about it and my cousin got great results with it.

Great video I found it helpful, would love to support you further

How do I contact you and what's your facebook page? :)
