There’s no shortage of common wisdom around organizing and productivity on the internet. You may have written some of it yourself! And although that probably benefits many, people with neurodivergent traits are always looking for new and unique ways to support their challenges with focus and organization.
For this reason, I invited my readers to submit blog posts about Neurodiversity for this year’s first edition of the Productivity & Organizing Blog Carnival.
The sponsor for this month is Susanna Miles, creator of The MindFlows Planning Collection. An entrepreneur with ADHD, Susanna developed her planners to provide a simple, visual system that makes it easy to see her plans and goals, and has made them available for others who’ve struggled with neurotypical planners and productivity advice.

Such a wealth of information. This is not my area of specialty, so I greatly appreciated all these experts have to offer. Will be sharing!
I appreciate your support, Seana. Even when you aren’t able to contribute, you always share! Thank you so much.
This is wonderful! Thanks for curating this post! It’s lovely to see all of these posts in one place. Thank you for including my post.
Always happy to include you! Has there ever been a topic you’ve missed?
This is so meaty; I can’t wait to dive in and see what everyone has had to say. What a brilliant carnival topic!
Yes, I am thrilled with the wide range of information included. Susanna was a smart lady to suggest this topic!
Late to the party, but I want to share I’ve focused my business on serving neurodivergent brains. I’m highly sensitive and there are people with ADHD and empaths in my family.
Here’s a blog post I wrote about “How to Work with Highly Sensitive People – and why you want to”

and here is a page about my online community and podcast, “Happy Space Pod”, which is all about HSP empowerment and creating a more tender world where neurodivergent brains can thrive.
That’s great, Clare! I love learning about the new directions people I know have taken in their businesses, and this sounds like a very important and rewarding focus.
