 Just for us ADDers... November 6, 2008
Miss Darling (Los Angeles, CA)
ADD-Friendly Ways to Organize Your Life br / br /There are so many books on organization, and ever the optimist, I have bought a lot of them with the wide-eyed belief that that particular book would be the magic bullet to transform my clutter and piles of paper into the minimalist I know I am deep inside. And of all the books I have bought on organization, I think this one is the best because it is so specific to the organization and time-keeping challenges so many of us ADDers face every day. I found my habits and behavior described to a "T" on almost every page which made me feel more like a valued member of the club than depressed and overwhelmed. But most important, the authors offer specific ideas that address our special way of thinking and doing things. I use it as an ongoing reference book and wake-up call, especially when I'm looking to improve some area of my life. In fact, there is an excellent reference section in the back of the book that lists ADD organizations, professional organizers and more. I recommend this book be part of every ADDer's library.
This is great for even very different situation. October 30, 2008

Most of these books for women with AD/HD is written for who has family and children.I understand they need to write,but article is no use. br /This book is different.this book taught me how to deal with every panic I may have, br /Worthlessness,comfusion,and strong desire to want to know what affect me like this. br /This place..Tokyo is very diffrent from US.I am living small apartment(one of friend said"like a collage doom") br /and we don't have many helping person."Professional organizer"is just a dream.with many non-fit information,this book is so useful,espesially how to deal with situation. br /And I've read many books.I can say this works for me and you,and this book is rather thick,but see,"a Japanese can read".Written in easy-to read English.
By far the best organizing book I've read. September 17, 2008

I have read probably half-a-dozen organizing books, and this one has the most readable, usable format of any I've seen. Let's face it, many of the people who have trouble with organizing have elements of ADD, if not full-blown, diagnosed ADD. This book offers lots of suggestions on ways to look at and tackle organizing tasks, and while organizing will always be a challenge for some of us, the tools offered will make it more accessible. One thing that I wish was covered in more depth is the tendency to hoard.

This book is a gift to adults with ADD. I have only read 2 chapters and it has already made a big difference in my life. As I read, I recognize myself on each page and then I get suggestions on how to better cope with different issues and situations.If nothing else, this book has given me hope. I strongly recommend it to any adult with ADD. It is a great tool.

This book addresses the challenges that adults with ADD face every single Day. There is a section in each chapter called: Is this your history? It is if you: br /1. Find that forgetfulness and lack of planning add to your daily stress; br /2. Resort to making an impulsive decision just to get it over with; br /3. Allow people or circumstances decide for you; br /4. Let escape activities interfere with your responsibilities; br /5. Tend to hyperfocus and lose track of time; br /6. Live in crises, reacting to circumstances; br /7. Thinks that everything is a "A" in your priority list; br /8. Rarely step back to consider what really matters; br /9. Have difficult to remember and follow future tasks; br /10. Has a cluttered house, bedroom, or office. br /You will find yourself in the stories related in this book and will find solutions for your problems. I did not give five stars because I do not agree with some "Level Three Solutions-Help from Professionals", but the book is good. br /
