Earlier this month, I announced the launch of Ready Set Declutter's series, Ask a Mental Health Professional! In this series, we're sharing insights and tips from mental health experts on topics like ADHD, anxiety, and depression, all areas that closely connect with the work I do as an organizer.
This series came to life because I’ve seen, time and again, how closely our mental health and physical environments are intertwined. For many of my clients, the impact of ADHD, anxiety, and depression is felt in their daily routines, making it challenging to maintain a peaceful and organized space.
To kick off the series, we featured Krysta Harlowe from Harlowe Counseling, who shared her wisdom on three key questions:
How can we manage overlapping symptoms of ADHD, anxiety, and depression?
What impact does our environment (clutter, cleanliness, etc.) have on mental health?
What are some common myths about ADHD?
This week, we featured Rebecca (Becky) Stone from Stone Counseling and Consulting Services! Becky has a wealth of experience working with ADHD, anxiety, and depression, especially in how these challenges affect motivation, decision-making, and control in our spaces. Here’s a quick look at what she covered;
Practical strategies for managing ADHD-related challenges like executive dysfunction to kickstart tasks like decluttering
How anxiety influences decision-making in cluttered spaces and tips for making the process feel manageable
Small steps to regain control of your space when depression has drained your motivation
For the full insights, you can find Krysta and Becky's answers to the above questions on Ready Set Declutter's Instagram by clicking here. Each post was crafted to offer manageable, practical advice you can try in your own space. They were shared to help with real, doable steps you can take toward a more organized, calming environment. Each expert’s advice is offered to support your journey to create a space that truly feels peaceful.
