    Are labels like ADHD, Autism or OCD helpful when decluttering?

    Understanding Labels and Diagnoses in Decluttering: Empowering or Limiting? This episode delves into the roles of labels and diagnoses such as ADHD, autism, OCD, and anxiety in the context of decluttering and organising. The hosts discuss how a diagnosis can provide clarity and relief but can also feel limiting or overwhelming. They share their personal experiences, emphasising the importance of individuality and the need for practical strategies that work with unique brain functions and habits. The conversation explores how labels can both empower and hold people back, providing insights and practical tips for working with neurodiversity in the decluttering process. Highlights include the significance of having fewer possessions and using labeled containers to maintain order, along with the value of self-awareness and ongoing learning.
