Are you drowning in laundry piles, unfinished to-do lists, and the constant chaos of parenting kids with ADHD? You are so not alone—and this episode is your lifeline. Danielle Kelly, host of Chaos & Caffeine, sits down with productivity and organizing expert Lisa Zawrotny, founder of Positively Productive Systems and host of the Positively Living Podcast, to talk all things routines, overwhelm, and how to actually get stuff done when your brain is running in 18 directions.

In this powerful conversation, Lisa breaks down:

• ADHD-friendly productivity strategies that don’t require a complete personality transplant
• The real reason you’re feeling stuck—and how to gently shift out of it
• How to design routines that flex with your family’s needs (without feeling like a Pinterest robot)
• What to let go of, what to prioritize, and how to stop doing #AllTheThings

Whether you're managing your own ADHD, parenting neurodivergent kids, or just feel like your life is one big beautiful mess—this episode will help you find calm in the chaos and build systems that actually work for your brain and your family.
