Living in an Organized Space with ADHD – Jessica McCabe’s Update | Clutterbug Podcast # 280

If you’ve ever looked around your home and thought, “Why can’t I get it together?” — this episode is for you. Whether you’re managing ADHD, feeling buried in clutter, or simply struggling to make your space work for you, you’re not alone. In this episode, I sit down with Jessica McCabe — New York Times bestselling author and creator of the wildly popular YouTube channel How to ADHD — to talk about what it really takes to make your home ADHD-friendly… and why that matters so much more than you think. We share the story of how I flew to Seattle and spent three days transforming Jessica’s home — from overwhelming chaos to a place of peace, function, and pride. But this conversation goes far beyond organizing tips. We dive into how clutter affects mental health, relationships, self-worth, and the infamous “ADHD tax” — and what happens when we finally set up systems that are built for how our brains actually work. ✨ We chat about: The emotional impact of living in constant clutter — and how it steals our time, joy, and energy Why traditional organizing systems often fail neurodivergent brains Jessica’s transformation from chaos and shame to calm and control (yes, in just 3 days!) The unexpected ways decluttering improves relationships, productivity, and mental health Practical, ADHD-friendly strategies that make staying organized actually possible Why organizing for your “worst day” is the secret to lasting change 📺 Watch Jessica’s full makeover on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Et8nGV-zQf0 🧠 Learn more from Jessica: → YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@HowtoADHD → Book: How to ADHD — available wherever books are sold https://howtoadhdbook.com/ → Website: https://howtoadhd.com/ 👇 What’s one ADHD-friendly change you've made to your home that really helped?
