Editorial Review:
Organizing books fall short of addressing the unique needs of adults with ADD. They fail to understand the clinical picture of ADD and how it impacts the organizing process often making their advice irrelevant or frustrating when put into application. Books about ADD may address organization/disorganization but do so in a cursory fashion and on a very small scale in what are usually long books on the subject. This is a book that has ADD-Friendly advice with the ADDer in mind. This collaboration brings forth the best underlying understanding with the most effective and practical remedy from ADD experts in two important fields -- professional organization and clinical psychology. Finally, it offers organizing advice that ranges from self-help to utilizing the help of non-professionals, to using professional assistance. Thus it permits the reader to decide where they are at personally in the organizing process, and what level of support will be most beneficial to their unique situation.

Rating:  - Authors speak from experience
These ladies clearly know first hand what it's like to live with ADD by any name. Their approach to the problem is easy to understand and effective in that it teaches you how to work within the limitations of this condition and play to it's positives. A very useful and practical approach.
Rating:  - Not that impressive or helpful
Too many books read like the author just copied articles on a subject and crammed them into a so-called book. This was one of those. There just wasn't any helpful information in it and I thought it was a waste of money.
Rating: - Solutions, Not Just Analysis!
I've not read the entire book yet, but I already know this book will change my life. (No, it isn't a cure all. We all know there isn't one, though we secretly wish one could be found.)
I just finished reading Chapter 5, "ADD Decision Dilemmas". This chapter wonderfully describes problems I've always classified as "procrastination", but really aren't. I'm 40+ now and being introspective, I've really figured out some of my behavior patterns and partial reasoning for it, but this ... Read More
Rating: - Great book wit specific, useful tips.
I really don't get the one-star reviews for this book. I have read the entire book in a couple of sittings (which says something for someone w/ADD) and have found it very helpful. One criticism is that it often recommends the services of professionals, but I find the "permission" to hire someone to help me very freeing when most people only make me feel guilty for not being able to do this on my own. It also gives lots of tips and techniques of how to handle a lot of things myself and I have found ... Read More
Rating: - The top organization book for ADD
I bought over 10 books on ADD and organizing, and only kept two: this one and 10 Simple Solutions to Adult ADD. This book's format and prose was written with ADD readers in mind, and the solutions are spot-on. Other books had overly simplistic or complicated ideas that seemed absurd or impossible. This book's ideas are very specific to the way an ADDer's brain works. I refer to it time and time again.
