Ever feel like your brain is juggling too many balls at once? 

 

That's your executive function at play, a set of mental skills that help you learn, work, and manage daily life. 

 

At the heart of this juggling act is your working memory—your ability to hold and manipulate information in your mind while you're in the middle of tasks. 

 

It's like keeping your grocery list in mind while you navigate the store and plan your dinner.

Decluttering can be emotionally hard at times! 

 

Decluttering is especially hard for ADHD moms who lack the executive function of emotional control which is your ability to manage your feelings to achieve your goals.
