Tara opens up about her struggle with maintaining organization due to ADHD. She questions Megs about balancing organization and letting go, to which Megs explains the necessity of both. They discuss practical strategies, such as setting small goals and consistent communication within the family about organization systems. Megs shares her structured approach to managing ADHD tendencies, like setting 15-minute cleanup timers and focusing on one space at a time. She also proposes establishing rules to maintain organization and reducing decision fatigue.
