- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Need to read for any adult with ADHD- so so so much helpful advice as well as examples that really made me feel a lot less alone. I struggle but I’m trying to get better at shaming and criticizing myself to pieces for mistakes that “normal” people don’t make, listening to this book helped me see that I don’t have to do that and I’m not the only one who gets in to messy situations or lives in constant chaos. As well as I don’t have to live crisis to crisis I can design and adapt to a life that calm and for filling. It was so helpful I’m considering buying the hard copy to keep and refer to!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Lots of great ideas, it kept cutting out, though. I downloaded it, was in my home using my Wi-Fi the whole time, wasn't getting any kind of notifications so I don't know what was going on with that. I would recommend this book to others.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I learned so much from this Audiobook. I super love it that I am willing to repeat it from time to time.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Even 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.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I found this book to be so condescending that I only spent about 30 minutes listening before I just couldn't take anymore. Even the narrator sounds like she's speaking to preschoolers. But the sentence that made me shut it off was "pick one and get it done." That's when I realized that I felt like I was back in school and the teacher was telling me that all I had to do to be a real human being who succeeded at life was to pay attention. Obviously, they really just don't get it.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This 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).
