ADD-Friendly Ways to Organize Your Life by Judith Kolberg

I finally found a book that understands why I want to deviate from a schedule the minute I’ve created it. Instead of some complicated system that makes me feel even less organized, ADD-Friendly Ways to Organize Your Life offers practical advice that’s straightforward to implement — like giving yourself a bedtime. For someone who has struggled with mornings her entire life, this is way beyond practical.

Here’s my advice though, don’t read the book from cover to cover. I was totally overwhelmed by the end and there were way too many suggestions to remember, much less integrate. I’m starting the book over, and this time, I’m only reading until I get to something I want to try. Once I’ve made that practice a habit (or decided it won’t work for me), I’ll keep reading until I get to a new strategy.

So many of the writers I know struggle with some sort of time, paper, or thing management, even if you don’t have A.D.D, this book will benefit you. My husband is reading it and keeps saying, “I still don’t think I have A.D.D., but I’m going to try this….” Personally, I’m positive I have A.D.D. and I’m trying many of their methods. They’re helping.
