Hit Reset & Get Organised for the Rest of the Year (ADHD-Friendly Edition)

Does life (and your inbox) feel like it’s closing in on you?

Good news: August is the PERFECT time to hit reset. You can clear the clutter, feel more in control, and finish the year strong, without overthinking.

Here’s a simple 4-step framework to get started:

1. Clear Your Inbox (don’t panic, just start)

Emails piling up? That little red notification making you anxious?

Spend 15–30 minutes clearing what you can.

  • Delete anything you don’t need

  • Reply quickly to urgent things

  • Star/flag anything that needs action later

ADHD tip: Set a timer. Do what you can. Then stop. Even a little progress feels lighter.

2. Plan Out This Month (not the whole year)

Big future plans = overwhelm.

Instead:

  • Block out important dates and deadlines in your calendar

  • Pick 2–3 realistic goals for this month

  • Break them into small, doable steps (5–10 mins each)

ADHD tip: Colour-code your calendar! It makes deadlines easier to spot.

3. Declutter Your To-Do List

Your list might feel like a monster right now. Here’s how to tame it:

  • Cross out anything that isn’t urgent

  • Ask: “Can someone else do this?” If yes, → delegate

  • Pick ONE thing you’ll focus on today

ADHD tip: Keep today’s task list super short — 3 things max.

4. Set Up Tiny Systems (so you’re not chasing your tail)

Systems sound boring, but they save you from decision fatigue.

  • Automate bills and invoices

  • Use a template for repeated tasks

  • Hand over admin (emails, scheduling, chasing people) to a Virtual Assistant

ADHD tip: If it’s something you dread, delegate it!
