Joy Ridenour - Professional Organizer, Productivity Success Coach for ADHD Moms
Productivity and Home Organization for Moms with ADHD
Are you tired of feeling like the only Stay-At-Home mom who can‘t get her act together? You know you have time while the kids are gone - and you feel like you are busy - but you drift from one completely unrelated task to another, focus on things that really don‘t matter, and avoid the tasks that need to get done...
Then all of the sudden you realize it is time to grab the kids and you feel that you‘ve accomplished nothing.
Welcome Home!
This is the Joy Loving Home Podcast.
I‘m Joy Ridenour, wife, mom of 4, & unorganized professional organizer! I have a heart for ADHD moms and kids. After spending years learning and organizing for other people I realized that there is a real need to turn the concept of being well planned and organized upside down. It shouldn‘t be created by Type A, naturally organized people as a way to ”fix” you and your home! Organizing, planning & productivity should FIT the way your brain thinks.
Albert Einstein said ”Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid”
Well fish, lets quit trying to climb trees while being given tips by monkeys who cannot understand how our brains think. Join me in the water and learn how to swim with the current of your life!
It is time to say YES to unorganized organization and flexible productivity!
This podcast is for you if: * You feel trapped by rigid schedules and overwhelming to do lists. * You always feel chaotic and like you are pulled in a million directions. * You feel like you are failing to meet expectations and always letting someone down.
Truth Bomb: Nothing is wrong with you! Your ADHD brain works differently than the neurotypical brain. We can learn to use the best parts of our brains to our advantage! Life doesn‘t have to be so hard, we just have to take the path less traveled.
Let me be your guide.
Let‘s have grace in our struggles and encouragement as we strive to make some changes that align with our family first priorities. We can stay intentionally flexible with our plans and learn to navigate life with ADHD while creating space in our lives and our homes for spontaneous joy!
Join me as we work to improve our productivity and simplify our homes in new ways, together!

If meal planning seems impossible to your ADHD brain, this episode is for you! Joy, shares a simple "retroactive meal planning" hack: each night write that evening's dinner on a Post-it and stick it to a reusable monthly calendar to collect a month of real meal data without pre-planning.
This low-effort system helps you spot favorite meals, balance food types, assign the tracking to kids, and turn the collected weeks into an easy, tailored meal plan that fits busy, flexible lives.

Today is July 2, 2026 — the exact halfway point of the year with 26 weeks left. This episode introduces the "26 for 26" idea: make a list of 26 one-and-done goals you can complete one per week through the end of the year.
Focus on small, achievable tasks that give immediate satisfaction and build momentum (Joy shares scheduling an overdue eye appointment as an example). The approach is ADHD-friendly and emphasizes progress over perfection.
Dust off any lists you already made, add at least one quick win you can do now, and enjoy checking items off as you move toward a joy-loving home.

This episode explores why we delay taking action and breaks down three common myths that lock us into inaction: needing to do things perfectly, not being "naturally" organized, and believing we can’t maintain systems. Instead, the host encourages starting small, learning by doing, and shaping systems around how your brain actually works.
Practical encouragement and simple mindset shifts help you stop waiting for the perfect time and begin making improvements through tinkering and real-life adjustments.

In this episode Joy introduces the "reverse rumba," a practical timer routine designed to help people—especially those with ADHD—slow down and focus on tasks that feel too big or jittery to start. Using a one-hour structure of short, urgent bursts and two longer focused periods, she shows how to break down and begin dreaded tasks while still getting quick wins.
Joy walks step-by-step through the method (5 minutes of jotting tasks, 10 minutes of quick chores, two 20-minute focus blocks, and a final 5-minute handoff note) and explains how to use sticky notes and timers to capture progress so you can pick up where you left off. The episode emphasizes starting, reducing avoidance, and building momentum with gentle, repeatable structure.

Joy, a professional organizer and mom of four, explores why having more time doesn't always lead to productivity—especially for people with ADHD. She explains how the brain interprets free time as an opportunity to rest rather than act, and offers practical, escalating strategies to create real accountability: from hiring help for an hour, to regular cleaners, to professional organizers, or inviting friends and family to create social pressure. Joy also mentions free and paid community options for live body-doubling and support. Her message emphasizes compassion, small steps, and designing systems that work with how your brain actually functions.

When life derails your plans—storms, illness, sleep loss—this episode helps you shift perspective without self-blame. Joy, a professional organizer and mom of four, offers three practical reframes: zoom out to your big-picture goals, treat interruptions like an "ad break" to use the time differently, and "swipe" to a new plan or spark when the old one has lost momentum.
She also reminds listeners to prioritize sleep, hydration, and care during tough seasons, and to choose joy over perfection as routines reset.

Joy introduces Quick Tip Tuesdays and shares a practical organizing rule: give the best spots to the items you use most.
This may be an obvious one, but examine how your spaces are organized and why? You might have a great reason for "breaking" this rule, if so Own It! Your ADHD Brain loves creativity!
Listen for practical examples and remember...
Change takes time and muscle memory may lead you back to old locations, so apply the tip when creating a new space or intentionally retrain habits only if it improves daily flow.

In this episode Joy introduces the Joy Loving Home Podcast and explains her focus on helping ADHD moms (and anyone who struggles with their home) feel confident through decluttering, organizing, productivity and mindset. She encourages listeners to reflect on the five W’s — who, what, when, where, and why — before jumping into organizing and explains why "how" is less important than knowing who and what you’re organizing for.
Joy shares examples, including a diamond-painting analogy, and invites listeners to identify their own five W’s as homework. She offers ways to connect — email, Instagram, and a free community — and promises more practical guidance in upcoming episodes to build a sustainable, brain-friendly organizing plan.

Thanks for listening in 2025 — this short episode shares three simple, ADHD-friendly strategies to start 2026: avoid rigid daily resolutions and try a finite “26 for 2026” list, give yourself a runway in the first week of January to set up habits, and treat changes as experiments with data collection rather than all-or-nothing demands.

Day 4 of the Joy Loving Home Holiday series: short, practical ideas to make decorating quick, joyful, and low-stress. Focus on the essentials first (the tree and stockings), let decorations lead you, use mellow instrumental music while you work, and stop when it feels like a chore.
A helpful tip: drop a dated note into bins you didn’t use (e.g., “Christmas 2025 – didn’t use anything”) so next year you can easily decide to keep, donate, or reuse items. Snap photos of setups you love and give yourself permission to simplify—there are no rules and no Christmas police.

As we step into February, many of us may feel deflated as our big plans for 2025 seem to waver. However, this episode offers a beacon of hope with a shift in mindset—from traditional goals to adaptable aims. Borrowing inspiration from Gretchen Rubin, we explore how aiming for a target can bring greater satisfaction, even if the bullseye isn't always hit. Non-binary aims offer flexibility and growth, making them a powerful alternative to rigid goals.
This refreshing approach has been put into practice by embracing the '25 for 25' challenge, populated with manageable tasks that add up over the year. From larger undertakings like painting a room to simple joys like finding the perfect pair of jeans, this process encourages progress without overwhelming demands.
Organize your thoughts using a monthly pending list—an opportunity to brain-dump tasks of all priorities, allowing a natural selection of what to tackle or drop, thereby alleviating mental clutter. Join the free podcast community for accountability and support, to help keep your aims in check.
Don’t let a faltering start discourage you; it’s never too late to reset your ambitions. With aims as your guiding principle, flexibility reigns, and progress becomes attainable!

In this episode, we explore the joy and nostalgia of snow days, reminiscing about childhood memories and the excitement of unexpected free days. The episode shares a personal story of growing up in snowy Maryland, highlighting the anticipation and delight of school cancellations due to heavy snow. The host reflects on how snow days can be a nostalgic gift for children, offering them the chance to experience spontaneous joy and freedom.
The discussion moves into a decluttering journey, drawing inspiration from the concept "use it or lose it." The episode encourages listeners to make the most of items they own instead of saving them for a "someday." This practical advice is tied into the nostalgia of snow days, inviting families to pull out unused art supplies and let their children get creative, thus creating new memories with existing materials.
Finally, the episode offers a clever way to handle the overflow of children’s artwork produced on snow days, suggesting that like snow, the art too should "melt away" once the day is over, allowing the nostalgia and joy of these special days to linger, while keeping spaces clutter-free. Listeners are encouraged to savor these moments and continue to choose joy in their daily lives.

Embrace the Chaos: Your Summer Organizing Hack Welcome or welcome back to the Joy Loving Home podcast. The summer rhythm is coming, and with it, a whole lot of chaos, spontaneity, and coming and going. With your kids out of school and extra activities aplenty, this season can feel overwhelming. However, in this episode, we explore how you can embrace the chaos with an unusual organizing hack.
The idea is simple: treat your home like a construction site. Like a road construction project that seems to be making little progress, your home can feel the same way in summer. But remember, even though it might look disorganized, something is getting done. The cleaning out, rearranging, and selecting of items for donation or disposal are part of the process. Learn to ride this wave, be spontaneous, and let your motivation guide you. Even when things seem disheveled, know that you're making progress.
By the end of summer, you'll realize that significant changes were made, even if these changes only begin to come together once kids are back in school. So embrace the chaos that comes with the season and ride along with this unusual organizing hack. Don’t let the whole summer pass by thinking you can't get anything done. Find joy in the little things, and the summer chaos will become a season of creativity and freedom.
Feel free to reach out, share your stories of summer chaos, and how you are navigating it. Looking forward to hearing from you and possibly doing a follow-up episode at Labor Day. Until then, continue to choose joy. Don't forget to rate, review, and share the podcast. You can also tag us on Instagram at joylovinghome.
Embrace this upcoming summer chaos and the construction phase. Enjoy!
In this episode of the podcast, we're inspired by a YouTube short titled "Three-Year-Old Boy Who Leaves Professional Engineers Shocked". In the video, a three-year-old child uses a unique approach to fix an unbalanced Lego bridge, showing us how a fresh perspective can redefine problem-solving. Join Joy, a professional organizer, mom of four and fellow fish brain, as we delve into this story and its parallels with organizing our homes. Together, we will learn how to subtract rather than add, and in the process create a joy-loving home.
The thoughts of this three-year-old boy inspire us to view home organization from a different angle. We often believe that the solution to clutter is to buy more organizing products. But what if the answer to more efficient organization is to subtract rather than to add? In this episode, Joy takes us through this philosophy with practical steps applied to a simple kitchen drawer scenario.
The podcast episode will take you through four steps: defining the space, pulling out anything that does not serve the defined function or purpose of the space, removing items that you don’t actually use, and finally, neatening up the space. This subtractive approach to organization, inspired by the wisdom of a three-year-old, aims to unlock better functionality in our homes without the need for additional organizing products.
Join Joy as she tests this 'Think Like a Three-Year-Old' approach to declutter some spaces in her kitchen and shares the enlightening results. Embark on this journey to discover the joy of subtraction, declutter your home, and learn how you too can have a joy-loving home. Let's quit trying to add and start simplifying by subtracting, and in doing so, reshape our perspective on home organization.

Let's discuss the downside of choosing to declutter without organizing. Decluttering alone without a game plan for organizing can lead to discouragement and a sense of failure, as it often doesn't reveal any immediate 'win' or visible change.
For neurodiverse brains it is important to see decluttering and organizing in tandem, not as separate activities. Let's challenge typical home organizing philosophies to find a method that suits your unique needs and thinking patterns.
Remember to have a 'Room of Requirement' (Introduced in episode 18) – a unique idea for dealing with items whose place in the house is yet to be determined.

In this potentially controversial episode, I challenge one of the widely accepted approaches to organizing: decluttering first. Listen for a recent example of organizing a closet for a client who wanted to give her husband the gift of organization without making any decluttering decisions on his behalf. Going through this non-standard approach, I reveal interesting insights on how not decluttering can remove stress and decision fatigue.
I share insights on how to make organizing a simpler process by sorting instead of decluttering. Find out how these changes can make your spaces feel fresher without the pressure of giving anything up. I also talk about the unexpected benefit of this approach: It can inadvertently lead you to declutter on your own accord.
Making your home function in a way that works best for you is more important than following organizing steps to a tee. Bonus tip included on how consistent visual elements in your organized spaces can contribute to a feeling of lightness and stress reduction. Tune in to discover a different tactic to decluttering and organizing, and learn how you can benefit from breaking the rules.

Discover practical and tangible steps to help reset your home environment, especially for those with ADHD, in the latest episode of Joy Loving Home podcast. Rather than offering a quick fix or hack, which might work temporarily, this episode delves into the real reasons we often struggle to reset our lives after a period of chaos.
Often, people with ADHD experience difficulty with resetting because of the inherent chaos of their minds and surroundings. Using a fish-monkey analogy, it is explained that while the world is stationary for neurotypicals (monkeys), it is swirling and constantly changing for those with ADHD (fish). Therefore, it becomes necessary to create strategies for organizing that align with the ADHD brain, as opposed to those that work for neurotypical brains.
This episode isn't about going back to how things were, or resetting to a time before the chaos. Instead, it encourages you to move forward, making progress, even if in small bits. It advises on simple tasks such as tidying your desk or clearing a corner of a table, reminding you to celebrate these wins with before and after photos. Progress, no matter how small, is still progress.
Finally, this episode invites you to join a membership group where you can participate in accountability challenges as you work towards managing your home. The group provides a supportive community who understands your struggles and celebrates your victories. So choose joy and take a step towards making your home a space of calm amid the chaos.

Today we begin breaking the rules of organizing by explaining how they are detrimental to moms with ADHD and can really be a roadblock to anyone who struggles with organizing.
Only touch and item once is the rule I want you to break when trying to declutter your home. Instead of deciding to keep or discard an item, have a third pile called reconsider.
Listen to see how this pile can help you get unstuck and power through your piles of clutter and indecision.

We deep dive into the difference between consistency and continuity. What does understanding the difference mean for achieving your goals?
Have you ever found yourself not even starting something because you already know you can't be consistent at it? What if carrying on where you left off is the better choice?
Instead of starting over every time, what if you just pick right back up where you left off and kept going? What if you acknowledge that you learned something the first time, each time and you are better off for it!
