If “put it away” turns into “now I can’t find it,” you’re not broken—you’re human, and possibly a little wavy-brained like me. 😊 I teamed up with my friends at The Lighter Home to share simple, ADHD-friendly shifts that make home systems stick on real-life days (including the low-energy ones).

3 takeaways I co-signed:

  1. Visible > Hidden. Clear bins and open hooks aren’t clutter—they’re cognitive supports.

  2. Fewer steps = more follow-through. If it takes >2 steps to put away, it won’t last.

  3. Micro tasks build momentum. Ten minutes finished beats two hours avoided.
