A Shame-Free Guide to Tidying Up!
ADHD Decluttering Mastery feels like a hand on your shoulder rather than a wagging finger. Kate Winslow writes with clarity, compassion, and an understanding of what it means to maintain a home when your brain doesn’t respond to motivation the way everyone insists it “should.”
Right from the start, Winslow dismantles the shame that so often follows clutter. She explains the real neuroscience of ADHD - reduced dopamine, inconsistent performance, hyperfocus bursts followed by long stalls - and shows how this affects motivation, routines, and the ability to “just clean up.” For anyone who has ever felt judged, embarrassed, or convinced they were the problem, this book offers reassurance and a sense of relief, helping readers feel understood and less isolated.
The ADHD-friendly systems feature visible storage, label-first organizing, dopamine-friendly routines, and photo-based prompts that reduce decision fatigue. The room-by-room guides feel like someone walking you through the process rather than dumping a to-do list on your lap. This practical approach makes it easier to incorporate decluttering into your daily life.
The “one-spoon” decluttering strategy is brilliant — especially on days when energy is gone, and the idea of tidying feels impossible. Winslow shows how even moving one mug to the sink or clearing one coaster can build self-trust and break paralysis. For bigger-but-still-manageable wins, the “ten-minute rescue” proves how much progress a timer, a small zone, and zero pressure to continue can create. These simple, achievable steps foster a sense of empowerment and hope, making decluttering feel less overwhelming and more doable.
One of the book’s strongest themes is that your home should support your brain, regardless of your living situation. You don’t need a Pinterest-perfect space or to suffer to achieve cleanliness. Winslow invites you to jump to any chapter you need, use what works, and toss what doesn’t. The emphasis is on realistic maintenance - micro-loops, relapse plans, and quick resets-suitable for any clutter level or home size.
If you’ve ever hidden rooms from guests, kept doors closed out of embarrassment, or felt overwhelmed by “doom piles”, this book feels hopeful, shame-free, and empowering.
