Susy felt a shot of dread every time the doorbell rang. Luckily she had mastered the technique of opening her front door just enough for the visitor to see her head, but not enough that they could see into her home.

When she said goodbye and closed the front door, Susy always felt a mixture of shame and relief.

Shame because her home was very messy.

Relief because the potential disaster of another human seeing her cluttered home had been avoided.

As Susy’s eyes scanned her kitchen she wondered how she could have two degrees and hold a responsible job but not be able to keep her countertops clean.

The clutter also made Susy feel mentally disorganized. If she needed to find something important, perhaps for work or her taxes, she felt anxious because she didn’t know where it would be.

Susy was lonely. The clutter meant she felt different from everyone else and it stopped her spending time with her friends.

Susy didn’t feel she could do fun activities or move forward with her goals until her home was tidy. However, when the weekend rolled round and she had time to declutter, her energy drained at the thought of it. Instead she would nap or  procrastinate by watching YouTube videos.  

Her life was on hold until she decluttered but as the months slipped by she felt stuck.

Susy knew this clutter was affecting her whole life. But there didn’t seem to be a way out.

Decluttering and organizing isn’t just about having a blitz and getting everywhere tidy. It is also about creating ADHD friendly tweaks to your life, so that maintenance feels almost like second nature.

When I meet new people, they always think their home will be THE messiest I have ever seen, and they will be the one person that can’t be helped. That is never the case. The feeling that your home is so messy, that you are beyond help, isn’t about the amount of clutter. It is connected to the shame and guilt you feel towards your clutter. 

When I decided to put all my decluttering knowledge into a course format so that it could help more people, ‘Clear and Calm’ seemed the perfect name. It was originally a module in the flagship program Essentially Brilliant: The Foundation Course to Untap Your ADHD Brilliance. However, when I realized how helpful it was, it became a stand-alone course, and Clear and Calm, the ADHD Decluttering course was born.

(Please note, if you are already a member of Essentially Brilliant, you have access to the Home Study version of this course too!)

•  Feel overwhelmed and disorganized in your own home?
• Find it hard to ‘put things away’ because every closet, cupboard and drawer is full to the max?
• Pay for storage lockers outside of your home?
•  Have boxes of belongings you haven’t used for 20 years, but have never had time to sort through?
• Procrastinate when it is time to declutter and organize even though it’s a top priority for you?
• Avoid inviting people into your home because you are too embarrassed?
• Have huge paper piles that keep growing?
• Find it hard to keep a tidy home after doing a blitz or hiring a personal organizer?
• Have clutter in the corners of every room so that your home feels overcrowded?

When are the Virtual Body Double hours?

The calls take place on Tuesdays and we alternate between 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. Eastern time to accommodate members in different countries and time zones. Plus, there is a Body Double Sessions on a Saturday.

Here are the dates of all the calls

Welcome Party

What format is the content delivered?

Each lesson includes videos (with slides), and worksheets. Whether you are a visual or auditory learner or like to see the key points in writing, this course has you covered.

How long are the videos?

The videos are made with the busy ADHDer in mind. Each video is approximately 5 minutes.

Here is what one ADHDer said.

“Jacqueline! You seem to have a natural ability to break information down and zone in on what is important. Plus, you give solutions in such a way that I can’t wait to jump into action. Thank you!”

How long are the Virtual Body Double Sessions?

Approximately 1 hour 45minutes. 

Will the calls be recorded?

Yes! The recordings will be posted in the course library where you can access them any time.

Is there a refund policy or guarantee?

Absolutely! There is a 60 day guarantee. If you finish the course and implement the strategies yet don’t see any results, send me an email within 60 days of purchase. I will be happy to issue a full refund.

Is there any one-on-one time with you in the program?

Although the program doesn’t include one-on-one time with me, you are more than welcome to book an individual coaching session if you would like some additional support.

Is there a Facebook Group?

No Facebook group! I have had Facebook groups for past courses and found that the majority of the course participants decided not to join. They were concerned that work colleagues, friends or family would know they were in a group for ADHD – even though it was a secret group. Instead, you access the materials and Q&A communication through a private online site accessible only to members.

Could I find this information in the course available for free?

Probably. We live in an information-rich world. That is awesome, but also has its drawbacks. 

When you have ADHD, too much information can make you feel overwhelmed which leads to no action. Clear and Calm has enough information so that you feel informed without causing information overload.
