“The Essential Decluttering Questions: Have I used it in the last year? Do I need this to be productive or happy? Is it less than $30, and would it take less than 30 minutes to replace (on Amazon, at WalMart, etc)? If I lost it, would I buy it again? Do I have other items that do the same thing? Do I have space for it? Do I have it “just to have it”? Would someone else benefit from it more than me? What is the real reason I am keeping it? Is it worth the effort of dusting?”

“In fact, there is a move among some ADHD specialists to re-name ADHD as ‘Executive Function Deficit Disorder’, because the condition affects so many of the key cognitive processes managed by the prefrontal cortex. These functions include: Task initiation: Getting started independently, even when a task feels overwhelming. Organization: Creating and maintaining systems. Working memory: Holding and manipulating information. Planning: Mapping out steps to achieve goals. Time management: Estimating time and using it effectively. Self-control: Regulating thoughts, actions, and emotions. Perseverance: Sticking with tasks despite challenges. Prioritization: Determining what needs attention first. Goal setting: Defining and reaching objectives.”

“Hack # 7: This Sucks But I’m Doing it Anyway
The phrase “This sucks, but I’m doing it anyway” is a great way to acknowledge discomfort while still taking action. It works by separating your feelings about a task from the action itself, helping you push through resistance rather than waiting to ‘feel like’ doing it.”

The Two-Minute Rule, from best-selling author David Allen’s book Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity, is a simple but powerful way to cut through a long to-do list.

Knocking out quick tasks straight away prevents mental clutter and overwhelm, clearing space to focus on what really matters.”

James Clear’s best-selling book Atomic Habits focuses on the idea that small, consistent changes in behavior can lead to big results over time. Instead of trying to make drastic changes all at once, Clear suggests focusing on tiny habits that are easy to do and build on each other.
