232. Systems to organise your home to tidy faster and clean smarter

Narelle King Professional Organiser — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 18:00:00 GMT

In this solo episode, Narelle unpacks the difference between “systems” (where things live and how they flow when you tidy) and “surfaces” (what you see and clean). You’ll learn how pairing simple home systems with fast surface resets makes tidying quicker, cleaning easier, and daily life smoother—especially with ADHD

Episode Highlights:

Systems that cut clutter: zoned storage, labeled containers, and drop zones.
Routines that stick: entry landing, laundry flow, and dish cycle.
Surface resets that keep things looking calm.
Rules that reduce decisions: one-touch, like-with-like, set a limit.

Key Takeaways:

The three pillars: Organise = decide where it lives (once per space, then maintain). Tidy = put it back (daily/weekly resets). Clean = remove dirt (quick passes, then deeper cleans).
ADHD-friendly home care: fewer choices, clear homes for items, and small, repeatable routines.
