142. ADHD-Friendly Homemaking Tips That Work for Everyone (with Practical Solutions + Actions You can Implement TODAY!)

The Slay At Home Podcast | Simple Homemaking Habits For Cleaning, Decluttering, Routines, Habits for Busy Moms

Let’s be real—keeping up with a home can feel impossible when your brain works differently than what traditional routines expect.

Whether you’ve been diagnosed with ADHD, relate to executive function challenges, or just feel like your brain doesn’t respond well to rigid schedules and “shoulds,” this episode is a breath of fresh air.

We’re exploring real-life homemaking tips designed for ADHD minds—but beneficial for anyone who struggles with motivation, focus, follow-through, or overwhelm. These strategies are compassionate, flexible, and easy to personalize—perfect for moms, neurodivergent women, and Type B personalities who are doing their best in chaotic seasons.

This episode will meet you where you are—with science-backed insights, realistic routines, and zero judgment.

🧠 What You’ll Learn:

• What ADHD really means from a brain science perspective (it’s not laziness)

• Why typical cleaning routines fall apart for non-linear thinkers

• How to start tasks without getting overwhelmed

• The power of dopamine and how to use it to your advantage

• Why “external memory” and visual tools make everything easier

• How to clean, declutter, and organize in a way that supports your actual brain

• Tips to follow through on routines—even on low-energy days

• The exact method Corinne uses and teaches inside her course to simplify homemaking and reduce decision fatigue
