Organising for the Neurodivergent Family with KonMari Consultant, Caroline Thor

Send us Fan MailEver wondered why decluttering feels so mentally freeing? In this illuminating conversation with professional organiser Caroline Thor, we discover how creating order in our physical spaces can transform our mental wellbeing and even our parenting style.Caroline's journey began with a life-changing realisation when her daughter innocently asked, "Why are you a nicer mummy now?" after their home became more organised. This moment sparked not just a personal transformation but a career shift that now allows Caroline to help other families, particularly those navigating neurodiversity, find the same peace she discovered.As a KonMari consultant and mother to three children (two with neurodivergent conditions), Caroline shares practical wisdom about creating systems that truly work for real families. She dispels the myth that organisation requires Instagram perfection or massive time commitments. Instead, she advocates for 15-minute decluttering sessions that make organisation accessible even to the busiest parents. Her refreshingly practical approach includes repurposing everyday items like Ferrero Rocher boxes rather than purchasing expensive storage solutions, making organisation both economical and sustainable.What resonated most deeply was Caroline's insight that maintaining organisation is more about mindset than elaborate systems. Her simple mantra "put the damn thing away", prevents the accumulation of daily clutter that overwhelms so many families. For those struggling with the additional organisational challenges that come with ADHD and autism, these straightforward strategies offer a pathway to calmer, more functional homes.Whether you're drowning in paperwork, struggling to maintain order or simply wanting to feel more peaceful in your space, Caroline's approach offers hope without overwhelming you with unrealistic expectations.
