Hello friends! Today I'm sharing something incredibly personal to me, but something that really affects my life day to day - learning to function and keep a tidy home while having ADHD. ADHD tends to affect everything I do in the home, from my focus on tasks to my ability to initiate a task in the first place, to being overstimulated by clutter and overwhelmed by everything that needs to be done.
I don't need advice in this video, but I do hope it helps some of you to realize you're not alone, even if you don't struggle with ADHD and all the ways it can impair homemaking. I've found that understanding more about my brain has massively helped me figure out HOW to make a routine that actually works, and how to give myself bit of grace when things don't stick.
I hope you are all doing well, and happy cleaning!

Thank you for repeatedly mentioning “mess is morally neutral”. I’m a SAHM to 3 boys at very different ages and while I try hard to keep up with the mess, it can sometimes become a conflicting thing for me when I choose to let the mess go. It’s okay to focus on your littles and if a mess develops, so be it. Sometimes I need that validated.

I think the Universe sent me to your channel today. I’m a book-and-clothes maximalist and neurodivergent. I desperately need to declutter and clean, and I think you’ve given me some help with the task initiation. I love that you are so gentle and non-shaming, and I LOVE the calm piano music you pick for your videos (I’m also a pianist!) thanks for all the work you put into your content.

I love that you don't feel pressured to get rid of your "too much" stuff. I have way more clothes and makeup and knickknacks than anyone else in my family(no one else is into any kind of fashion or aesthetic) and they tend to act like I have way "too much" stuff. But I (like you) actually have a fairly curated closet, of I don't use something I will get rid of it! Some people use more stuff and if you find a system that works that's perfectly fine!!

So I don't have ADHD (I have assorted issues mental and physical) and I find that lists are key in my case. If something occurs to me as I'm cleaning that is unrelated to the room I'm working on I write it down in my pocket sized notebook. Or any maintenance issues like gluing down a piece of veneer or a loose knob. It lets my brain not get hung up on that little issue desperately trying not to forget. I suffer from short term memory retention issues but it probably applies to people who have trouble retaining a bunch of details at once also. It also helps get rid of that "kicking myself because I forgot to mention/take care of" whatever it was feeling. Major plus for anxiety. Another tip I have is make a list of things that are easily accomplished on days where you're having a hard time. Mentally or physically. For example, on days I'm anxious, watering all my plants helps calm me down. So does ironing for whatever reason. On days my fibromyalgia is making moving challenging I try to fold laundry or do prep work that doesn't take much moving. Chopping vegetables while sitting at the table for example. Handling paperwork etc. Then of course the days when my body and brain don't work? My kids and I put on ambience videos and "camp" on the couch for a while. Just because you're a home maker doesn't mean that's all you are. There's no shame in keeping yourself from collapsing by over doing it. Almost every one of the conditions I have are exacerbated by doing too much for too long without rest. I imagine that's true for most conditions/syndromes etc. I normally don't comment but felt like maybe someone could benefit from some suggestions. Retro Claude is actually who made me think of the "bad day list". She has a physical condition and mentioned she has to think through what steps take what type of movement in one of her videos and it struck me as a brilliant observation.

Thank you for the suggestions. I have bad movement days sometimes or my chest is bad and I'm coughing. I try to do more restful things on alternate days now, and going out exhausts, drains me so next day has to be more restful. I think so many people are feeling this way now, anxiety etc, it is a feature of the times we live in and the three years we have just lived through which I can't name on here or I'll get banned and Kristina could get a strike. I would feel so bad if that happened. I think we all could do with reminding ourselves what we have come through.

I love this Kristina! Fellow neurodivergent here. I totally sympathize with you about feeling like it's so much harder to get things done but not understanding why. It caused me a lot of anxiety until I realized that it was not entirely my fault! Finding out I have ADHD has honestly been a blessing. I understand myself a lot better and I'm a lot more forgiving with myself. I'm not sure what you've tried so far for keeping some kind of routine but I got myself a magnetic whiteboard and I listed out the weekly, monthly, every 3-6 months, and daily things that need doing. I've been putting a checkmark next to the task once it's done. I've found this to be really helpful because I can see it but I also don't have a set in stone day for getting whatever it is done. I tried in the past to make like a weekly schedule and do certain things on certain days but that got to be too rigid for me and too overwhelming and tedious to plan out. I like the whiteboard so far because it shows me what I still need to do without me having to remember. I don't feel like I have to do everything all at once but I also have the freedom to knock out a bunch of things in one day if I feel the motivation to do so! I also found a cool notepad at Target that helps prioritize tasks with "Things I must do" , "things I postponed (but need to do)" and "bonus points if I get these done" categories as well as one for procrastination. I've been using this for jotting down reminders to pay bills, make appointments, etc as well as reminding myself of what I didn't do from the list of housework the previous week. Sorry for the super long comment but I hope it helps and this video was really relatable for me. It's nice to know it isn't just me who has a hard time staying organized and on top of clutter

Oh my goodness you could be writing about me. It is not a whiteboard here but lists and plans. I think I was more organised when I worked full time and only lived in an apartment and was much younger and energetic. Now I am retired and the energy to finish things just isn't there, cleaning tasks seem monumental and the garden is big and surrounded by trees that constantly drop stuff. Not my trees, mostly. I absolutely could not cope with getting everything out onto the bed etc. Has to be section by section, drawer by drawer, for me.

I'm so glad you're not hiding your mental health struggles. I struggle with anxiety, bipolar disorder, Seasonal Affective Disorder, body image. The world needs to know we are not defective or "less than" or lazy or . . . Good for you for acknowledging you need help and reaching out to get it. And I like that you use various things you have around for organizing the closet. It makes it YOUR aesthetic and not like anyone else's. It's a gorgeous spring day in the beautiful Pacific Northwest so I am off outside. 💐🌸🏵🌹🌻🌼🌷🌱🌳

It looks great! Some people have less "stuff", some people have more "stuff". How to organize it is a personal thing. Having kids makes "stuff" turn into "STUFF". Finding the time and energy to do what you did in this video takes effort and planning. You're absolutely on point about how this works for you and what your intentions are in presenting this to us, and as always, you've done a beautiful job. You cleaned and organized, and filmed and edited! Those are some serious tasks! Thank you and all the love back to you and your family.

I just watched this episode today, and I know I'm all over the place, time wise, with your videos...but in one of the wardrobe videos I watched recently, you pulled out an adorable peachy print halter dress with blue gingham trim, and you mentioned that blue isn't one of your favorite colors. Kristina, I see that you are wearing an absolutely gorgeous blue floral dress in the first part of this video, and you are glowing. I think vibrant blues deserve a re-think from you, because that color range certainly likes YOU!

Even if you aren't officially diagnosed, paying attention to your needs as possible ADHD is imperative to living a satisfying life. I was "quasi-diagnosed" by my primary care physician YEARS ago, but didn't choose to get the official diagnosis, because I wasn't interested in being medicated, and didn't realize that coaching was available...or maybe it wasn't back then -- it was about 15 years ago. I'm 57 now, and using tools I've found at How to ADHD and Tracey Marks here at KZbin which have helped me to level up the coping techniques I had established through trial and error over the decades. It's good to hear that you are acknowledging this aspect of how your brain works, and finding what your brain needs to create the habits which will create a welcoming and safe haven within your home.

“Mess is morally neutral.” What an incredible statement. I’ve been shamed over my housekeeping struggles for many years now. It’s not such an active shaming now, but the burden remains. Anyway. Thank you for this statement. I almost want to design some word art around it and frame it. I also believe I have inattentive adhd, all signs point that way. School teachers tried to convince my mom to have me tested as a child but when I was a kid times were different and I would have been essentially set aside and labeled, and she wouldn’t allow it…so no evaluation ever took place.

I admire the fact that you can get anything done with 5 kids. I also really admire that you are a true housewife. As strange as it sounds in this day and age, the hope I had for myself was to get married and basically be a housewife. Well, I got married, but the housewife has never really materialized. Both hubby and I have/had full time jobs outside the home and we have one grown daughter who still lives with us. I’m now planning to “retire” in 5 years and pursue a more “relaxed” life. Hopefully my husband will still be around to enjoy it with me.

It took a long time, I'm 35 and within these past few years I have gotten rid of things that I have had since Middle and H.S. ...some people do not truly understand how much it has an impact on you keeping things, emotional hoarding is def a difficult situation to deal with.

Kristina -just found and subscribed to your channel -love it! FlyLady system changed my life/clutter situation. It is perfect for us "sidetracked household executives" (especially those of us with ADHD and CHAOS "can't-have-anyone-over-syndrome". FlyLady says "you can't organize clutter" and has you set your kitchen timer and declutter for 15 min.) The system gives us so much extra free time and keeps your house clean EASILY in minimum time.❤ I would love to see a video of you trying the FlyLady system sometime and feel that it would truly bless you❤

Coming late to the party. I’m pretty sure my brain is neuro divergent too, but I’ve never had a diagnosis. ADHD? Somewhere on the spectrum? I don’t know, but I’m pretty sure I’m not “normal”. Anyway, I totally understand the overwhelming feeling you have with clutter. My brain tends to either completely shut down or go overboard. So it either needs to be perfect to a compulsive level, or I don’t want to do anything and I start to live like a hoarder. Heck, even getting behind on my favorite KZbinrs makes me feel this way! I have used the “everything in the middle” method since discovering Marie Kondo, and it does really help. And giving myself grace for living somewhere in the middle of perfect cleanliness and hoarder house (I’m going to call it controlled clutter), has really made a big difference. I cleaned my kitchen 2 weeks ago after a period of neglect, and starting with the small tasks to build momentum was helpful. Also. Going from one area to another and seeing the slow build of progress was helpful. Thank you for your realness, honesty, and example. It is tempting, with how a lot of KZbinrs present things, to think that everyone always has it under control, when in reality, most of us don’t. 💖

Kudos to you for completing such a aunting task. I have a few recommendations for you, and I hope you're open to them. I start spring housecleaning in January, so I'm available for gardening in the spring. I allot one week for each room but the kitchen -- it gets two weeks, small jobs each day. I start with washing the ceiling and the light fixtures, then move down to the cupboards, which are sorted and cleaned inside and out. Then I clean everything on the counters and use car wax to polish the old Formica countertops. I clean out the refrigerator and range hood, and set the self-cleaning oven another day, then proceed to the lower cabinets. Last, I pressure-wash my kitchen rug and scrub & polish the floor while the rug dries in the sunshine. I pretty much follow the same system in every other room, top to bottom, only one or two tasks each day, sorting & decluttering as I go. When my children were young, I only cleaned when they were napping, so I had no interruptions and could be fully attentive to them while they were up. My son is autistic with ADD and required a lot of direction and coaching; I'm OCD, a "recovering" Type-A. Like you, I have a hard time parting with clothes, especially my homemade fashions. I put my heart into each of my creations, and it's tough to let them go. You've inspired me to dig through storage bins and pull out for donation all the things someone else might enjoy.

I often wonder what would it be like NOT to have depression and anxiety. I often feel that I have been robbed of my life. You are a very lovely lady with so much class. Thank you for sharing 🇦🇺🦘❤️💖

Love your look. You definitely know who you are. It doesn’t matter what your individual “problem “is. Figure out what you need to do in order to compensate for it instead of using it as an excuse! Stop complaining and spend some time figuring out a new way to solve your problem.

Thank you. I still haven't found a way to break care tasks into manageable chunks and rotating through them in such a way that works. For me, starting with the dusting means the vacuuming will never get done. I'd like to have less stuff but I find decluttering takes physical, emotional, and mental effort and I rarely have all three at once plus I don't want to get so focused on decluttering that I let basic care tasks slide.

I've just had my ex partner move out and the house is a mess, but would like to say i got my bathroom mostly organised while watching along with this, thank you so much, I feel like a chaotic, cluttered mess constantly and don't even have children, so please know these videos are amazing and help at least me get something done despite my cluttered brain struggling. I love your content, I find it super inspirational, thank you for sharing this with us all x

Love this video and you did a wonderful job breaking the taske s down to manage able sections. People who are dyslexic also need to break their tasks down in order to reduce being overwhelmed. Thank you for sharing and I think you are a beautiful young woman.

Oh gosh, this helped me sooooo much. Thank you! I'm also wondering now if I have inattentive ADHD... 😱 I've never heard of it and it would make all my "symptoms" make sense to me.

May I ask where you find your house dresses? You always look so cute!! I never look or feel cute when its time to do housework and I think if I felt more put together it would help give me the motivation I need!

Such a lovely video even if it's about cleaning! Your clothing style is delightful. You do not have a "thanks" button? I would certainly contribute as a thank you for an appreciated video. Just a thought. Oh, you have a tip page, I now see.
