More About This Book

Overview

Over 100,000 Copies Sold!

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 application. Books about ADD may address organization/disorganization but do so in a cursory fashion and on a very small scale in what are usually long books on the subject. This is a book that has ADD-Friendly advice with the ADDer 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 reader to decide where they are at personally in the organizing process, and what level of support will be most beneficial to their unique situation.

    A Must Have for ADDers with oraganizing issues

    I was pleasantly surprised that the size of the book is larger than many other ADD books and so is the Print itself. The set up of the book is VERY "ADD Friendly". Main ideas are bulleted and highlighted. There are also review sections at end of each chapter. There are some very useful charts and even some a few pictures of specific organizing tools. The ideas and suggestion given in this book may be be very helpful to people with ADD. There are some great suggestion that seem too easy to help but as somebody who has used many of them, they do help.

    Simplified advice and easy reading

    I purchased and began reading this book to find tips to help my son get organized. What I found were hundreds of tips to help ME get organized! This book is organized very well and made to be a quick and easy read and reference. I highly recommend it.

    ADD and Getting things Done

    I wonder how many reviews will be written about this book, since someone with ADD will probably put off writing one. On the other hand, a person with ADD might micro-focus on cleaning out their email and avoid doing other things. Well, I understand this better now after reading this book (actually, my wife read it to me, since I'm always too busy procrastinating to read anything).

    There are many useful tips for organizing and understanding how things work and how to get the most out of the little details in ones life.

    Great help for ADD in this adult!

    I'm a grandmother and was very surprised at how much this book has helped me after just the first quick read through. Unfortunately, I've managed to lose my copy (library book)! But, I will be buying my own copy. BTW, I have many other books that I bought to read on behalf of another family member that I thought could benefit from it. Ha!; guess I couldn't see the forest for the trees...
