About this audiobook

Organizing books fall short of addressing the unique needs of adults
with ADD. They fail to understand the clinical picture of ADD and how it
impacts the organizing process, often making their advice irrelevant or
frustrating when put into practice. Books about ADD may address
organization/disorganization but do so in a cursory fashion and on a
very small scale.

This is a
book that has ADD-Friendly advice with the ADD-er in mind. This
collaboration brings forth the best underlying understanding with the
most effective and practical remedy from ADD experts in two important
fields-professional organization and clinical psychology. Finally, it
offers organizing advice that ranges from self-help to utilizing the
help of non-professionals, to using professional assistance. Thus it
permits the listener to decide where they are personally in the
organizing process, and what level of support will be most beneficial to
their unique situation.

    Very useful information I took lots of great notes but the reader is so terrible that it's endearing. the authors do kind of seem to assume that the reader can afford a personal shopper or owns a "powder room". left me wondering however, what is typical busy life getting in the way and ADD. Regardless I'm so desperate to improve my organization that I still found much of the content useful.

    Even if you don't have ADD, this book provides excellent tips for organizing your life and putting successful systems in place to stay organized. And if you do have ADD, you'll feel less overwhelmed and more comfortable trying to put reasonable systems in place.Each chapter addresses a different organization task. The chapters also address three different approaches. The first set of ideas are for creating systems you can implement yourself. The second set includes seeking assistance from the people in your life who can hold you accountable. The third set refers to the type of assistance that a professional could provide to help you implement systems.The book offers small steps for developing systems that will make it easier to get - and stay - organized.

    This book was being passed around my university's Disability Services among ADHD and non-ADHD counselors alike. My counselor showed me parts and photocopied a relevant passage. Between the praise and the section I was given, I had to have it and I was not disappointed with the purchase. I was impressed by the differing strategies - which explained why my friends and I always managed to get our teenage rooms cleaner if someone was hanging out with us while we cleaned (something my parents were suspicious of). I have passed it on to my professional organizer friends for a different perspective. Definitely worth a buy for the disorganized in your life (especially if it is yourself).

    Very informative. Written by two authors that really understand the ADD/HD thought process. Every time I read it, I find more helpful tips on organizing!
