I’m thinking of running a day’s online course on the Law of Hoarding. If you think it’s a good idea give this a like and I’ll fix a date…

🎉 It’s official! People juggling paid employment and unpaid care will have a #RightToCarersLeave for the very first time. The Carer’s Leave Bill has received Royal Assent, meaning it will be the law for all employers in England, Scotland and Wales to provide carer’s leave. 🧵

With ADHD it can be deeply overwhelming to keep your living space clean. The constant struggle to focus and stay on track can make cleaning feel like an insurmountable task. ⁠If you need support with cleaning, come join our May group coaching course: l8r.it/HIW6 ⁠

One of the more interesting aspects of ADHD is shorter time horizons. Things feel like they’re either “now” or “not now” & if they’re “not now,” they don’t exist. Deadlines don’t feel real until they’re almost on top of us, which can make it hard to kick ourselves into gear…

Messy truth: Cleaning is a constant cycle. It’s never one and done. Regular incremental cleaning instead of big marathon sessions keeps the mess easier to manage, can help your mental and physical health, and helps make your environment more comfortable for you.
