Household Management

Several years ago when I was writing more posts about homemaking someone suggested I produce an ADHD Home Management binder. I laughed. A lot. Because I am absolutely not an expert on managing a home with or without ADHD.

But I will say I've come to terms with how ADHD affects my ability to manage my home. And I've developed systems that work FOR ME. I don't claim to know how to help everyone.

In this podcast episode I discuss simple household management and cleaning schedules. 

I'll break down five ways to simplify your home management, including:

Plan less. Stop making massive to-do lists.

Cook less. Simplify your meal planning and cooking.

Choose just one planner or calendar.

One day per week take a break from household chores.

Limit your use of apps on your phone. The more apps you have to check-in with each day, the more time you will spend on said apps. 

The second part of the podcast is around cleaning schedules.

I have women ask me every day for specific cleaning schedules, tips, hacks etc. I don't do hacks, I can only tell you what works for me.

The Bottom Line is this : DO WHAT YOU CAN, WHEN YOU CAN. That's it. Keep it that simple.
