Making an enormous mess, I get overwhelmed easily.
Today, I decided to clean behind my nightstand. It needs it. My small room becomes cluttered quickly. In the middle of making progress, I discover that my floor lamp’s base broke.

Are there things you try to practice daily to live a more sustainable lifestyle?
My routine is to keep my home clutter-free. Having ADHD, and clutter seems to follow me around. When I come home, sometimes plop my belongings in certain places to deal with later them.
My routines help me to get back on track when I am distracted or exhausted. Like putting things away, washing the dishes, and doing extra cleaning.
Routines bring structure and consistency into my life which my mind craves. Doing my chores regularly has given me extra time to write and enjoy other hobbies too. I don’t have to feel guilty because my chores are done.
I will be discussing how I am creating a kitchen routine for my dishes to combat procrastination, which is caused by ADHD. To learn more click on the link below.

The one piece of advice that I would give my 20-year-old self is to learn to love your space despite your circumstances. As I mentioned in my recent podcast on May 7 of 2023 that I didn’t love my space.
It didn’t help ADHD/ADD was affecting my organizational skills. People made judgments saying I was lazy, and I didn’t care. Dealing with RA (rheumatoid arthritis) flared up that almost crippled me. So, I had a lot of resentment towards my space because I thought there was a major flaw with me.
The never-ending cycle of purging items, which I thought was cleaning. Then in a few weeks, the cluttered would return, adding to my resentment.
I didn’t understand was how the RA was impacting my life during a flare-up. Just doing the necessary chores, that was it. What I needed in those times was help and compassion.
Instead, I blamed myself for circumstances that were out of my control. Resentment continued to build towards my space as hopelessness settled in.
I wasn’t flawed.
I had the wrong ideas about clutter and organization.
Then one day, I realized that people who had organized homes and kept them maintained; actually, loved the space that they lived in and wanted the best for them and their families.
By loving my space that I admitted I deserved a clean, welcoming environment, and a peaceful sanctuary from the rest of the world. And that I needed to create a system that functioned for my lifestyle.
