ADD-Friendly Ways to Organize Your Life: Strategies that Work from an Acclaimed Professional Organizer and a Renowned ADD Clinician

ADD-Friendly Ways To Organize Your Life was a godsend for me when it was first published in 2002, coming out as I had just begun to grapple with my own ADD challenges.

As a professional organizer, I really appreciate the three levels presented in this book. It requires an active and optimistic approach from the client. The levels are like a navigation system, each level showing new roads and shortcuts, but the client is always responsible for the next step or the engagement of the next level. That's what I love about this book most of all: there is no more waiting to be rescued , no more excuses to sit back or give up.
