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
