Summary
In this episode of Decluttering Untangled, Heather Tingle discusses effective decluttering strategies for individuals who struggle with focus, particularly those with ADHD. She presents two main approaches: working with the tendency to flit between tasks and finding ways to lock in focus. Heather emphasises the importance of mini-declutters, using reminders, and creative techniques to maintain motivation and productivity. The episode concludes with encouragement to reward oneself for progress, no matter how small.
Takeaways
- Recognise that decluttering can take longer when flitting between tasks.

- Using dump bins in each room can simplify the decluttering process.

- Visual aids like timers can help maintain focus and track progress.
- Consider using enjoyable tasks to kickstart decluttering efforts.
- Locking yourself in a room (not literally!) can help minimise distractions.
