Decluttering, organizing, and cleaning my home in a more routine way is having some interesting effects on my perfectionist tendencies! (Plus, perfectionism comes up in the decision-making process; more on that in my interview on A Slob Comes Clean, which I'll link here when it's out.)

Specifically, a cleaner space = less decision fatigue = lower cognitive load = more executive function resources for ME!

Dana K White, like me, couldn't find advice that worked for her. So she made it up! And it turns out, it was helpful for many other people to.

After writing an anonymous blog about cleaning her overwhelmingly cluttered home, Dana "came out" and started helping others too. Also, many of those people let her know she seems to have ADHD ;)

Her explanations have already helped me a lot, and given me hope about a clean home for the first time in ages.

We talk about many of the overarching themes/tips in her books (which are linked below)

Transitions are one of THE things that support the way that productivity shows up for AuDHDers! Transitions don't have to be all about work: play and rest can be transitions too. And sometimes we need transition time into and out of work, play, AND rest!

Today I talk in more detail about how long transitions can take for me (routinely 30-60 minutes). If that's true for you, a 20-minute chunk of work (or getting interrupted) isn't going to feel that good compared to the transition time required. (That said, anything goes in burnout recovery!)

Anecdotally: AuDHD folks may need more transition time than ADHD or Autistic folks (even though it's often talked about as an autism trait or need). If that's true, it's possible that it's monotropism that leads to higher transition time needs.

Note: I misspoke when I said "dares and challenges." They're actually dares and commitments :)
