The First Challenge of 2026
To support momentum over the 12 weeks, we’re running a challenge alongside the course with a chance to win £30. 🎟️ How you earn entries: You can earn up to 24 entries into a prize draw: - 1 entry for each module you complete (12 modules in total) - 1 entry for joining that week’s module chat (posting or reacting both count) - There may be some bonus entries over the course of the 12 weeks! That’s it. 💰 At the end of the 12 weeks, one person will be picked at random to receive £30 cash. ‼️ Important bit: This isn’t about perfection or keeping up every week. It’s just a nudge to keep showing up and letting the system do its thing. I’ll track entries in the background, you don’t need to do anything extra. ☘️ Good luck!

Welcome Founding Cohort!
If you’re reading this, you’re part of the founding cohort of the Household Operating System. I really appreciate you saying yes to this at such an early, slightly scrappy stage. This space exists because everyday life was taking far more effort than it should, not in a dramatic way, just a constant background drain. I needed something that worked on ordinary weeks, with ADHD, kids, work, low energy, and interruptions built in. What you’ll see here is the result of that thinking. Over the next 12 weeks, we’ll move through the system one piece at a time. It’s structured, but it’s not intense. The aim isn’t to overhaul your life, it’s to reduce mental load by making fewer decisions and letting systems do more of the work. As founding members, you’re not here to perform or “get it right”. You’re here to use this honestly and tell me what actually helps, what doesn’t land, and where things feel unclear or heavy. Your feedback will shape what this becomes. A few quick things to know: - New modules unlock weekly — there’s no need to rush ahead - Weekly chats are there for support and normalising, not accountability or comparison - Lurking is fine. Short posts are perfect. No pressure to overshare - This is a calm, practical space — we’re not fixing each other here Most of all, thank you for trusting me with your time and attention. That’s not something I take lightly. When you’re ready, feel free to introduce yourself in a few lines, or not. You belong here either way. Michelle x

Welcome - Read This First!
I’m really glad you’ve joined. I’m a busy mum with ADHD and a demanding job, and for a long time I felt like I was constantly behind on things that shouldn’t have been this hard. Nothing was falling apart, but everything took so much effort - planning meals, managing money, keeping on top of the house, remembering admin, protecting my energy. I tried being more organised, more disciplined, more motivated, and it never really stuck. This system grew out of needing a way to make everyday life feel steadier and less mentally exhausting, something that worked on ordinary, messy weeks, not just the good ones. What you’re using here is the result of that process. The aim isn’t to optimise your life or turn you into a different person. It’s to make daily life feel lighter and more reliable, without having to think so hard about everything. Everything here is structured on purpose, so you don’t have to work out what to do next. 😁 How the course runs: The Household Operating System is a 12-week course, designed to be taken slowly. New modules are released weekly, and you’ll move through them in order. That’s not about restriction, it’s about giving you time to actually use what you’re building before adding something else. If you have ADHD tendencies like me, you'll want to rush through everything right away, but that will only set you up for failure. This is about building consistency. Each module includes: - ideas and frameworks to help things click - worksheets to apply them to your own life - a clear focus for the week - a simple weekly check-in to help things settle There’s no benefit to racing ahead. Most of the value comes from letting things bed in. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 About cohorts This course runs as a cohort, which means we: - start together - move through the material at the same pace - and finish together The plan is to run this three times a year, with each cohort lasting 12 weeks. You don’t need to keep up perfectly. Falling behind is normal. Picking things back up is built into how this works.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1…Go!
What are you stuck on today? Having a shower? Putting that load of washing away? Lifting clothes off the bathroom floor? Whatever it is, I want you to take a moment now and countdown from 5. When you get to 1, get up immediately, no excuses…do that one thing. Just that one thing. This closes a loop that has been running in the back of your mind, taking up space and energy. Tell me how you feel afterwards 😁
ADHD Hack #1: Store Things Where You Use Them
If you always drop something in the same place, that is where it belongs. Move the container, not your behaviour. For example, I always had a laundry basket at the top of the stairs, central to everyone's bedrooms but no-one ever used it. Most of the dirty clothes ended up on the bathroom floor so I moved the hamper to the bathroom. My bedroom floor was also a gathering point so I added an additional hamper at the bottom of the bed. No more running around picking up dirty clothes. They congregate where they always did, but now inside a container! Think of something around your home that you are always clearing up - can the stuff actually just belong there but in a neater container?
