Awesome tips!

The tips and tricks expressed in this book are nothing short of amazing for someone who suffers with ADHD, like myself. Now to actually apply it…

extremely helpful, even if you don't have adhd!

There were tips here that I had not necessarily thought about. especially in the office organization section. narrator was very good. nice pace, pleasant voice.

So helpful!

Will read again! Loved it and easy to follow. As a professional organ and someone with ADHD I can confirm these tips are helpful.

Finally an answer

Me? ADHD? Nah…
Well I think I’ve just been diagnosed. Seriously. What a breakthrough for me! Well organized and insightful. Suggestions make sense.
If you’ve struggled for years trying to get organized, this might be your answer.

We enjoyed this.

I listened with my Husband on a Road Trip and Family Vacation. Thank you so much.

Wonderful concepts for real life ADHD challenges

almost every concept and tip in this book is something I will put to use in my home. The only con I have to mention is that some of us do not have the financial means to hire house cleaners and especially lawn service. Other than that, I recommend this book to everyone but especially those of us who struggle with ADHD.

A must if you have a ADHD

This is a very good practical guide to helping with your ADHD. I have had it all of my life. I’ve only been will put a name for the last couple years. We are simply living with a brain that is not well fit into the modern world And this book will give you a very good framework for keeping the deck dragons at bay. I would recommend it and I plan on listening into it multiple times.

I want to love it but I can't

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...

Calm narrator and straight to the point

This book teaches you HOW. Highly recommend

Very helpful, easy listen

I listened to this while working on cleaning my home and getting rid of things. It has been super helpful, motivating and easy to listen to. This is the kind of book I will read more than one time, so I can continue to soak in the information and keep up the Decluttering. Recommended!!
