Making an enormous mess, I get overwhelmed easily. ​

What bothers you and why?

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.

I want to cry and scream. Just walk away from my mess. There’s not enough light. I’m frustrated and dealing with my emotions.

It’s okay that I am upset and feeling overwhelmed. This is part of the process of cleaning and organizing with a ADHD mind.

I will get this done tonight because I have a plan.

What are your daily habits?

Part of my morning routine is I will take my medication that I need. Once that is done, I will read my Bible and pray. Then I take the rest of my medication and have my breakfast.

After that, I will do my chores and then start working on writing projects.

That is my morning routine.

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.

Today, I am tackling paper clutter! It is exhausting. For the last few weeks, I have been drowning in paper clutter. Needing a break, I decided to write this post because my mind needs to relax. I’m proud of myself for the that I am making.

Something, I have noticed is that paper clutter quickly piles up in my home. My ADD kicks in and I procrastinate, I just don’t want to deal with it. Then the paper clutter continues to build. It never ends.

Today, I had enough. I need my space, and I need the clutter to be gone. That’s my motivation.

I need to get back to it!

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year. It is that time of year for resolutions. I have been asking myself what I want to accomplish in 2023. What is important to me? Creating routines, writing, exercising, and creating more content for my social media are on top of my list.

MY SEVEN 2023’s GOALS:

Creating Routines – to help me stay focused on what is a priority and allow me to achieve my other goals by getting my household chores done. Organizing my home to create an inviting and relaxing environment for me and my family.

To schedule time for my writing during the day – 2022 has taught me, that I need to set time aside, during the day for my writing projects and articles. This was an eye-opening revelation for me. If I want to write, I need to make time for my writing.

Exercising – 2022 has also taught me, if I want to keep my mobility and maintain a healthy weight, I must exercise. Whether I like it or not, I must exercise. To be honest, I’m unsure how this will be incorporated into my routines. I’m determined to discover the way.

Keeping my relationship with the Lord healthy – I need to nourish my spiritual life. I must put the Lord first and spend time with Him by reading His Word and praying.

Creating music – composing music is my happy place where my mind can unwind and relax. I need to spend more time working on my compositions.

Reading – I fell short of my goal for 2022. To be honest, I know I can do better.

To create more content for my social media platforms – not sure how I’m going to accomplish this goal. Working on a plan, I’m determined to come up with an idea.
