About this listen

Organizing Solutions for People with ADD, 2nd Edition outlines new organizing strategies that will be of value to anyone who wants to improve their organizational skills. This revised and updated version also includes tips and techniques for keeping your latest technologies in order and for staying green and recycling with ease.

Attention deficit disorder (ADD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are prevalent in society today, afflicting about 4.4 percent of the adult population - over 13 million Americans. Four out of every five adults do not even know they have ADD.

The chapters, organized by the type of room or task, consist of practical organizing solutions for people living with ADD:

  • At work: prioritizing, time management, and organizing documents
  • At home: paying bills on time, decluttering your house, scheduling and keeping appointments
  • With kids: driving them to various activities, grocery shopping and meals, laundry, babysitters, organizing drawers and closets
  • And you: organizing time for your social life, gym, and various other hobbies and activities

I think the book itself isn’t bad, but the narration just a bit too precious sounding for me to enjoy.. The perfect enunciation of each syllable, each, with, a, decided, pause, became annoying with each chapter making it difficult to listen to the book in its entirety. But I did finish it completely.
Although the Author included many very applicable solutions, they became repetitive and often downright unrealistic. I feel the book simplifies the solutions from the standpoint of Someone who organizes for a living rather than how someone suffering from ACHD could accomplish on their own.


Repetitive Solutions

ADHD has always made maintaining organizational systems at home a challenge for our family. The author takes an empathetic and clearly researched approach that allows people with ADHD to finally find practical methods to maintaining an organized household. I would recommend it to anyone with ADHD or living with someone with ADHD. It has been incredibly helpful to us!

Just what our family needed!

I really wanted to love this but I just can't. Being an adult female with ADHD this couldn't keep my attention for more than a few minutes. When I was actively listening I found the author a bit condescending at times and although she shares that her methods help those with ADHD and her daughter with ADHD you can clearly tell she does not suffer from it herself. I'm not saying that she isn't qualified but you can clearly tell by some of her wording that she doesn't understand it to its full capacity.

You really need to read between the lines with some of her suggestions and take some things she says with a grain of salt. For example, I love to cook and have gadgets and servewear that I don't use on a daily basis. To her I should throw them out because they don't get enough daily use. What happens when I have a large dinner party? Do I now go out and repurchase these items again?

Another example, I don't have a large house nor do I have a lot of storage space. I also don't have much space to create storage. Yes I can declutter and purge but that doesn't make my home any larger. No, I'm not comfortable with being okay with running out of staples and using tissues instead of toilet paper because it's not my day to go to the grocery store...I also have a toddler that wants different types of snacks on different days. While some are staples, they're not always the same.

The only helpful advice I really got from this is to make your organization work for you...

I want to love it but I can't

I liked that the book's advice was logical. The book listed specific reasoning behind each tactic. My dislike were organization tactics were repetitive, but, understand that readers may have the repeat tactics in different rooms to organize spaces efficiently. I think it is better to borrow/ buy copy of the book because seeing pictures of organized spaces may make the book more pleasurable.

This book states simple tasks needed for organization; specifically for people with ADHD.

As someone with ADD, that has been given MANY tips and criticisms from non-ADDers, I feel she did a great job! Main take away is LESS STEPS! I have only reorganized my closet, and added more laundry baskets since reading but they have already helped! As with all self help books, take what you like and leave the rest!

Many good tips
