Productivity and Home Organization for Moms with ADHD Are you tired of feeling like the only Stay-At-Home mom who can‘t get her act together? You know you have time while the kids are gone - and you feel like you are busy - but you drift from one completely unrelated task to another, focus on things that really don‘t matter, and avoid the tasks that need to get done... Then all of the sudden you realize it is time to grab the kids and you feel that you‘ve accomplished nothing. Welcome Home! This is the Joy Loving Home Podcast. I‘m Joy Ridenour, wife, mom of 4, & unorganized professional organizer! I have a heart for ADHD moms and kids. After spending years learning and organizing for other people I realized that there is a real need to turn the concept of being well planned and organized upside down. It shouldn‘t be created by Type A, naturally organized people as a way to ”fix” you and your home! Organizing, planning & productivity should FIT the way your brain thinks. Albert Einstein said ”Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid” Well fish, lets quit trying to climb trees while being given tips by monkeys who cannot understand how our brains think. Join me in the water and learn how to swim with the current of your life! It is time to say YES to unorganized organization and flexible productivity! This podcast is for you if: * You feel trapped by rigid schedules and overwhelming to do lists. * You always feel chaotic and like you are pulled in a million directions. * You feel like you are failing to meet expectations and always letting someone down. Truth Bomb: Nothing is wrong with you! Your ADHD brain works differently than the neurotypical brain. We can learn to use the best parts of our brains to our advantage! Life doesn‘t have to be so hard, we just have to take the path less traveled. Let me be your guide. Let‘s have grace in our struggles and encouragement as we strive to make some changes that align with our family first priorities. We can stay intentionally flexible with our plans and learn to navigate life with ADHD while creating space in our lives and our homes for spontaneous joy! Join me as we work to improve our productivity and simplify our homes in new ways, together!

203: The Unexpected Detriment of Decluttering without Organizing

4/30/2024

Let's discuss the downside of choosing to declutter without organizing. Decluttering alone without a game plan for organizing can lead to discouragement and a sense of failure, as it often doesn't reveal any immediate 'win' or visible change. For neurodiverse brains it is important to see decluttering and organizing in tandem, not as separate activities. Let's challenge typical home organizing philosophies to find a method that suits your unique needs and thinking patterns. Remember to have a 'Room of Requirement' (Introduced in episode 18) – a unique idea for dealing with items whose place in the house is yet to be determined.

202: The Unexpected Benefits of Organizing Without Decluttering

4/26/2024

In this potentially controversial episode, I challenge one of the widely accepted approaches to organizing: decluttering first. Listen for a recent example of organizing a closet for a client who wanted to give her husband the gift of organization without making any decluttering decisions on his behalf. Going through this non-standard approach, I reveal interesting insights on how not decluttering can remove stress and decision fatigue. I share insights on how to make organizing a simpler process by sorting instead of decluttering. Find out how these changes can make your spaces feel fresher without the pressure of giving anything up. I also talk about the unexpected benefit of this approach: It can inadvertently lead you to declutter on your own accord. Making your home function in a way that works best for you is more important than following organizing steps to a tee. Bonus tip included on how consistent visual elements in your organized spaces can contribute to a feeling of lightness and stress reduction. Tune in to discover a different tactic to decluttering and organizing, and learn how you can benefit from breaking the rules.

201: How to Reset Your Home When You Have ADHD

4/16/2024

Discover practical and tangible steps to help reset your home environment, especially for those with ADHD, in the latest episode of Joy Loving Home podcast. Rather than offering a quick fix or hack, which might work temporarily, this episode delves into the real reasons we often struggle to reset our lives after a period of chaos. Often, people with ADHD experience difficulty with resetting because of the inherent chaos of their minds and surroundings. Using a fish-monkey analogy, it is explained that while the world is stationary for neurotypicals (monkeys), it is swirling and constantly changing for those with ADHD (fish). Therefore, it becomes necessary to create strategies for organizing that align with the ADHD brain, as opposed to those that work for neurotypical brains. This episode isn't about going back to how things were, or resetting to a time before the chaos. Instead, it encourages you to move forward, making progress, even if in small bits. It advises on simple tasks such as tidying your desk or clearing a corner of a table, reminding you to celebrate these wins with before and after photos. Progress, no matter how small, is still progress. Finally, this episode invites you to join a membership group where you can participate in accountability challenges as you work towards managing your home. The group provides a supportive community who understands your struggles and celebrates your victories. So choose joy and take a step towards making your home a space of calm amid the chaos.
