Do you walk in a room to organize and find yourself paralyzed and overwhelmed?

Do you find yourself spending money on organizing solutions that don't work?

Do you feel like you put in effort but never make any progress?

Or maybe you know exactly what you want to do, and yet for some reason, you just can't get started.

Organizing isn't easy. And having ADHD doesn't make it any easier.

But it doesn't have to be impossible.

If you have ADHD and you've been struggling with organization, it doesn't mean there's something wrong with you.

It just means it's time to try working with your brain instead of against it.

That means:

• Understanding how your mind works
• Recognizing your strengths and weaknesses
• Finding the strategies that work for you

In her latest book, Lisa Woodruff explores the executive functions of the mind that directly affect your ability to organize your home: flexible thinking, working memory, self-monitoring, task initiation, planning, and organization. Along the way, she provides tips and strategies for overcoming obstacles - tools you can use to get the organized house you've been dreaming of.

As a professional organizer, productivity coach, and former teacher, Lisa Woodruff knows that organization is more than just 15-minute daily tasks or cute ways to use fun containers. She's successfully parented, taught, and professionally organized people who struggle with ADHD, and she has been able to help hundreds of women in Cincinnati, Ohio - and thousands of women around the world - get their homes organized and keep them that way.

Also, Lisa, you remind me of my sister, also Lisa, who lives in WI...I am in CO. She is also a teacher and excellent at organizing. I had always wished to be more like her that way. Maybe there’s hope after all! Thank you, again!!!

Helpful

This book is helpful for understanding, managing and accepting the difficulties for people don’t know how to successfully maintain compartmentalizing tasks, declutter, organize and where to start.

Okay - good for encouraging you to start

There was a few good tips that I will use but over all nothing you couldn’t get from googling the same topics. It did encourage me to start and get back in to the groove of this so if anything…that’s worth the time to pick this up.

Great information!

I got so much useful information from this book that I ordered a hard copy for reference. Highly recommend.
