It's time to harness the best part of your ADHD brain! The end of the year, our brains kick in on the urgency and creativity of the last months full of holidays, activities, and chaos. In this episode Joy, a professional organizer and mom of four, guides ADHD moms through a practical, three-month holiday planning method using three sheets of paper to brain-dump, highlight date-sensitive tasks, and make quick decisions: do it, delegate it, or ditch it.

She shares tactical tips—nonlinear pending lists, color-coding, and visible placement—to reduce overwhelm, harness motivation, and create more joy during Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

Joy, a professional organizer and mom of four, explains why rigid routines often fail for people whose brains crave novelty. Instead of chasing a single "perfect" system, she recommends experimenting with flexible strategies that match your current life phase—baby, toddler, busy-car life, or empty-nesting—so you can reduce shame and find changing systems that actually work for you.

Joy frames organizing for chaotic or neurodiverse brains with gentle, flexible strategies and encourages repeating the 15-minute bursts as needed to build momentum and choose joy in your home.
