12 \\ Reasons to Downsize What You Own – Reduce the Resistance in Your Environment for ADHD Moms

Lisa Lizotte | Home Organizer and Habits Coach

If your home feels heavy, overstimulating, or hard to keep up with, the issue may not be your motivation or discipline—it may be the amount of stuff you’re trying to manage. 

In this episode, we’re talking about why downsizing what you own is one of the most effective ways to reduce resistance in your environment, especially for women with ADHD and executive function challenges.

For ADHD brains, clutter creates constant decision-making, visual noise, and mental overwhelm. 

Too much stuff makes everyday tasks feel harder than they need to be, from tidying and cleaning to staying consistent with routines. 

When you reduce the inventory in your home, your space begins to support you instead of working against you. 

Systems become easier to maintain, resets take less time, and starting tasks doesn’t feel so heavy.

In this episode, I explain how downsizing helps lower mental load, reduce frustration, and create an environment that feels calmer and more functional. 

We’ll talk about why having fewer items makes it easier to see and use what you own, cut down on searching and re-buying, and eliminate the guilt that often comes with excess belongings. 

A simplified home also makes daily habits easier to repeat, even on days when your energy and focus are low.

If you’re craving a more peaceful home, less overwhelm, and systems that finally stick, this episode will help you understand why downsizing is a key step toward creating an ADHD-friendly environment that supports the life and rhythms you want.
