Stay at home mom with ADHD

I’m at a stay at home, homeschooling mom. I feel like a lot of the tips and hacks rely on a pre-designed routine from going to work and such. Is anybody on here in my situation and has tips or hacks to help keep up with the organization or make a routine where there is no pre determined structure?

Thank you! I am trying to purge my house now because I feel like the majority of my problem is I have too much stuff.

So this is going to sound silly, but I found a few variations on 50s-ish housekeeping routines and they were a good baseline for building a cleaning/tidying routine. Of course, it’s important to reduce the task list (1) because you have more to do than just clean your home all day (2) having an overwhelmingly long list of tasks upsets our adhd brains. That’s really the best I can suggest bc I’m still trying to figure this out myself. I took a week (a while ago) to Mari Condo organize my home so 90% of household items have a specific place. It makes tidying easier now (as long as I practice completely putting things back).
