Cultivating a cleaning routine could feel daunting for those with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), as they have high expectations for themselves and are scared of failure when it comes to meeting the standards they set for themselves. With this in mind, tasks such as cleaning, organizing, and cultivating to-do lists may almost seem impossible. Although this may be the case, finding a route that suits one’s individual needs could assist with upkeeping a tidy and orderly living space.
I took the time to speak with Dr. Victoria Du Barry, of @inbalancepsychotherapy, who believes it is super important that people with ADHD should stop fighting their brains, and start working with their brains instead. Du Barry provided us with her thoughts on the importance of keeping a clean space when having ADHD as well as with mindful and respectful tips that people with ADHD could follow to maintain their living spaces organized.
