Happy Momentum Monday (on a Sunday)! 

Hey hey!

Let’s talk about the seasonal shift that’s creeping up on us like a raccoon at a picnic. It’s almost fall. Which means soon you’ll be reaching for a hoodie and instead pulling out a swimsuit .  

And for some of us that moment is glorious, but for others (like me) that moment sucks!

The good news? You’ve got time.
The better news? We’re gonna use it wisely-ish.

 

Why Swapping Now (Not Later) Actually Helps ADHD Brains

ADHD brains hate sudden transitions. Cold snap? Panic mode. Closet chaos? Shut down. Trying to do it all in one go? Cue the avoidance/overwhelm spiral.

So instead of waiting until you’re freezing your ass off in October, let’s treat this like a slow-mo season change. The kind that eases you into the cozy vibes instead of slamming you into sweater weather.

Think of this like seasonal preheating. 

 

Why this helps ADHD brains:

• Reduces future stress: You’re prepping before the urgency hits. You can still wait for the urgency to do most of the planning/transitioning, but starting even just a week or two early can help squash some of that transition freak out.

• Less decision fatigue: Fewer “WTF do I wear?!” mornings, which lead to fewer late mornings, which lead to less stress/anxiety and more calm cool and collected.

• Boosts dopamine: Small wins (like finding your fave hoodie) = instant mood lift.

• Creates transition rituals: Rituals help soothe the chaos of seasonal shifts.

What This Can Look Like (The Plan-Ish™ Version)

Don’t think of it as “reorganize your whole damn life.”

Think of it like this:

1. The 15-Minute Closet Sweep

Pick ONE drawer. Or one bin. Or just the top of the laundry pile.
Pull out the obvious “summer’s over” stuff like shorts, tank tops, beachy bits and set them aside to store, donate, or evaluate later. No pressure to finish the whole closet. Just… start.

2. Find Your Cozy MVPs

What do you actually love to wear when it’s chilly?
Find those now, while you still have the energy. Bonus points if you wash them and make them easily grab-able.

3. The “Hell Yes / Hell No” Pile

As you go, ask:

• Did I wear this over the summer?
• Do I like how I feel in it?
• Do I want to see this again next year?

You don’t need a full declutter sesh, just plant the seed. Keep the “hell yes” pile close, and toss the “hell no” into a bag to donate.

This Week’s Action Step:

Pick one tiny seasonal switch to start this week.
Swap one drawer.
Pull out one fall jacket.
Light one September candle and declare it almost autumn.

This way you’re not plunging. You’re easing. You’re preheating. You’re ADHD-ing the f*ck out of seasonal prep and that’s a win.

 

Let’s Chat:

What’s one small thing you can do to make your space or wardrobe feel more fall-ready before the chaos hits?
Hit reply and tell me! I LOVE hearing the weird little things that make you feel like a cozy genius.

More “Fall Into Flow” vibes coming next week. Until then,
wear the sweater. Light the candle. Don’t wait for the frost.

You’ve got this.
