Minimalist with ADHD is a really hard thing to keep up with, for me at least. What are your thoughts?

I have adhd, and I’ve been struggling since I don’t know how long to get myself to a place where I can keep up with my minimalist lifestyle. I really like it. It’s helped my mental health, it makes it easier for me to do cleaning, and I love the concept of living sustainably.<br><br>But it’s been so hard. <br><br>So, I started my minimalist journey about 3 years ago. This is what I’ve done so far: <br><br>1. Cleaned out and donated/ sold my old clothes<br><br>2. Washed and put up all my clothes <br><br>3. Packing up all my memories and moving them into a box n my closet (which I also cleaned)<br><br>4. Taking away most of my stuffed animals and keeping only a few of them that I have the most memories with. <br><br>5. Having a few clean outs here and there for things I don’t need anymore. <br><br>It’s been a few years since I started, and I still have so many things I haven’t done yet.<br><br>I have boxes full of makeup that I want to sort through for things I don’t use anymore. <br><br>My desk could use a good cleaning, but every time I try to do it I end up getting distracted and then I end up using it as an excuse to *not* do it. <br><br>I need to replace a lot of my old things that I don’t use with new things that I will actually use. I have so many things that I don’t use anymore, but I always seem to forget to use them for the things I want to do. I have an old sewing machine I want to get rid of that I want to replace with a new one. I want to use my old glasses cases to hold jewelry beads. I want a few shelves to put in my closet for when I have more of my own space. Things like that. <br><br>I have so many things I don’t use anymore that I really want to get rid of, but I always forget or I get distracted when I try to do things. <br><br>It’s been driving me crazy because I feel like I’m not doing enough. I know that minimalist is just a mindset and not something you have to do a certain way, I just feel like I’ve been failing at it. <br><br>I don’t know what to do. Any thoughts?
