In this deep-dive episode of our executive function series, I share how to organize your life in a brain-friendly way and the practical strategies that helped me go from chaotic clutter to sustainable systems, even with executive function challenges.

📌 Key Topics:

The complex executive function skills involved in organization
Why traditional organizing methods often lead to burnout
My personal journey with digital, physical, and mental clutter
How to break the exhausting organize-crash-repeat cycle
Energy management strategies for sustainable organization
Finding homes for everything to reduce decision fatigue

🗣️ Featured Quote: "Organization isn't about perfection—it's about being able to pull things back to a calm, peaceful state without overwhelm."

💡 Strategy Breakdown:

Start small and limit yourself to avoid the hyperfocus-crash cycle
Use the trash/donate/elsewhere system to streamline decision-making
Create homes for everything to reduce constant decision fatigue
Build simple 30-minute daily maintenance routines
Implement the Now/Not Now method to organize your thoughts
Simplify categories to reduce decision overload

🎯 Coming Up Next: Join us next week as we continue our executive function series with strategies for another critical executive function skill.

🔑 Key Takeaway: Organization works differently for unique brains—it's about creating systems that work with your brain, not against it. With the right approach, you can maintain organization without exhaustion.
