Spring cleaning isn’t just about tidying up — it’s an opportunity to refresh your environment and create a space that supports your well-being.

In a recent article from ADDitude Magazine, Your Clutter Does Not Define You, Tracy McCubbin dives into the common challenges of decluttering — from emotional attachments to the time and effort required. For those with ADHD, these obstacles can make the process feel especially overwhelming. But with the right strategies, you can break through the clutter and find peace in your space.

Here are a few tips, inspired by her article, to help you get started with your Spring cleaning:

1. Clarify Your Why: Connect emotionally to the benefits of decluttering. Imagine how you’ll feel in a cleaner, more organized space — energized, clear-headed, and calm. Keep this vision in mind to fuel your motivation throughout the process. 2. Break It Down: Instead of trying to tackle everything at once, start with small, manageable areas like a drawer or a shelf. Celebrating these small wins will keep you motivated and prevent burnout. 3. Set Time Limits: Use timers to stay focused and avoid overwhelm. Work in short, 10-15 minute bursts, giving yourself permission to stop and take a break when the timer goes off. 4. Schedule Decluttering Time: Treat decluttering like any other important appointment on your calendar. Block out dedicated time each week to stay consistent, making it part of your routine. 5. Accept Imperfection: Clutter may return, and that’s okay. It’s a normal part of life, not a sign of failure. Regular, small decluttering sessions will help you stay on top of it and keep your space manageable.

Decluttering is a process — not a measure of your worth. Be kind to yourself and practice self-compassion along the way. Your home doesn’t need to be perfect; it simply needs to support the life you want to live.
