Image if you could create and maintain an organized environment?
What if you didn't have any paper piles on your floor? How good would that feel?
Imagine being able focus on a task rather than feeling distracted or guilty by all your unfinished projects.
How would you feel if your important items all have a permanent home and you know exactly where to find them.
Imagine walking into a room and feeling your energy lift rather than plummet.
Think how proud you would feel of your home… no Mom guilt here!
Creating an organized environment is challenging when you have ADHD.
- Not feeling motivated to ‘do’ things,..particular boring tasks.
- Being prone to procrastination,
- It's hard to break big projects down into smalls steps.
- Feeling you have less energy than other people
are all common ADHD traits.
However!
The good news is, that even though creating and maintaining an organized environment might not come naturally, it’s still possible.
Hi, I am Jacqueline Sinfield
I am not one of those people who was born with an organization gene. Far from it.
My default mode is messy.
My mum is the opposite. She is a super organized and tidy person, and she created a lovely family home for us all.
That meant I didn’t even know I had a problem until I left home for university when I was 18 years old.
My tiny student room was a mess the whole time I was there.
I thought it was because the space was small, or because I was busy with my studies.
But when I got my first apartment and my first job as a qualified nurse, the mess followed me.
That’s when I knew I had a serious problem.
I looked for ways that worked for me to be organized and tidy.
Not just because I wanted my home to look nice, but also because of how it made me feel.
My head felt organized and I felt less anxious and worried when my environment was neat.
Fast forward a couple of decades…
Being tidy still doesn’t come naturally to me, but I have a system that helps me to keep a tidy space. That means I am productive, focused, proactive and feel calm inside.
It’s the same system that I have shared with my ADHD clients and has helped them to declutter and maintain a tidy environment.
It can help you too!
Introducing The Decluttering Project!
A fun challenge for members of Clear and Calm Live.
21 days to a shiny, spacious and fabulously organized room
The decluttering project is designed to energize and motivate you, so that in 21 days you will have one beautiful decluttered and organized room.
Now, you might be thinking, “But all my rooms in my home are a mess. I can’t just declutter one.”
That’s okay. That’s normal!
The thing is, when your goal is to declutter ‘everywhere,’ your energy is diluted. It’s hard to know where to start and you might get an overwhelming urge to take a nap or watch Netflix.
The opposite happens when you narrow your focus to one room.
Your energy actually increases, and because it is easier to see progress, you feel motivated to keep going until the room is completely clear of clutter and well organized. Yes, even the drawers and closets.
Here's How It Works
- As soon as you enroll you get immediate access to the 15 Clear and Calm training videos so you can dive in right away and learn the core principles of decluttering when you have ADHD.
- We kick off the Decluttering Project on Monday November 11th!
- During the 21 days of the Decluttering Project you will get additional daily videos Monday to Friday to guide and motivate you.
- You’ll have daily decluttering accountability in the pop up FB group just for people participating in this challenge.
- Three times during the 21 days we will have ‘body double’ decluttering sessions, where we all declutter as a group. This helps to make the decluttering process fun and as painless as possible.
- You can ask questions or get support from me at any point during the 21 days, in the FB group or in the course headquarters.
Here’s what you get!

"“This is the most useful thing I've ever learned about having a clear environment – and I've read at least 6 decluttering books and a gazillion articles PLUS worked with a professional organizer. Clear and Calm is brilliant! So non-judgmental and so practical.” ~ June Fowler, Alberta Canada"

Clear and Calm Training Videos
Lesson by lesson
1. Introduction Video
In this lesson you will learn the behind-the-scenes reason why ADHDers have clutter. Knowing the background for why things are the way they are helps to lay a solid foundation for change so you can stop feeling guilty and start feeling hopeful.
2. Mindset Video
In addition to the practical reasons why ADHDers can have clutter, there is also a mindset piece. It is helpful to have an awareness of this important mindset factor so that the changes (clear spaces) can be long lasting.
3. Motivation Video
ADHD is less about attention and more about motivation. When you feel motivated, attention follows and you enjoy taking action.
Discover what your underlying motivation is for decluttering, so that you have a bigger reason ‘why’ than wanting a tidy space (although that is important too!).
4. Strategy Video
It’s time to get strategic! In this lesson you get clear on where you want to declutter and what the best decluttering method for you is, so that you can see progress quickly.
5. The Daily Method Video
In this lesson you learn The Daily Method for decluttering. There is no rule that says decluttering has to be done in long stretches of time, like “all weekend.” Decluttering in micro chunks overrides procrastination and resistance so that you build momentum and decluttering becomes an effortless part of your daily life.
6. Out of Sight Out of Mind Video
One of the reasons why people with ADHD have clutter is because of the ‘out of sight out of mind factor.’ Putting items away behind closed doors means you might forget them. To combat this you might keep items ‘out where you can see them,’ which is a good strategy, but your home can look cluttered.
n this lesson you will learn how to support your memory so that you know where everything is even if it’s out of sight.
7. Avoid cleaning binges Video
Living with ADHD can mean jumping from one activity to the next, leaving a trail of unfinished tasks behind you. In this lesson you will learn how to make ‘tidying as go’ second nature so that you avoid the need for big cleaning binges.
8. House work Video
Does the thought of housework drain your physical and mental energy? In this lesson you will learn a technique that actually makes housework feel like a game. That means you have all the energy and motivation to clean your home from top to bottom. Here is what one course member said.
I just finished cleaning for hours and it is the first time I have done that in a long time. I usually do it for 5 minutes here and there and don't feel like I'm getting anything accomplished.
I haven't completed the Clear and Calm course yet but I LOVE it!
It is really helping me.
9. Good bye paper mountain Video
A classic feature of an ADHD home is piles of paper. These paper piles accumulate quickly and take a lot of mental effort to clear. In this lesson you will learn how to catch up with your current paper piles, as well as techniques so that they don’t appear again in the future.
10. Filing system Video
It’s okay if you did an internal groan when you read ‘filing system.’ It does sound like a boring, linear process – what most ADHDers would rather avoid. However, we keep things simple so it isn’t overwhelming or dull. In this lesson you will learn how to create an ADHD friendly filing system, so that you always know where your important documents are.
11. Seasonal tasks Video
Learn how to take care of seasonal tasks in season – for example, putting away Christmas decorations in January vs. April so that you feel organized, up to date and in sync with your neighbours.
12. Downsize your photograph collections Videos
Organizing physical photos (not digital) is one of the hardest decluttering tasks when you have ADHD. It’s like the black belt level of decluttering.
In these lessons you will learn the 12 ADHD friendly steps to organizing and downsizing your photo collections.
That includes how to handle any emotions that might bubble up to the surface, and how to categorize photos so that the project feels interesting and rewarding.

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!”
Is there a refund policy or guarantee?
Not for Clear and Calm. All sales are final.
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?
YES! The Facebook group is an important part of The 21 day project. If you aren't a FB fan, you will miss out on a lot accountablity and support.
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.
