Organizing Solutions for People With Attention Deficit DisorderTips and Tools to Help You Take Charge of Your Life and Get OrganizedSusan C. PinskyThe only book on the market with a visual format designed to provide organizational help for adults with A.D.D. and their families. ADD (attention-deficit disorder) and ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder) are prevalent in today's society, afflicting about 4.4% of the adult population, which is over 13 million Americans. Four out of every five adults do not even know they are ADD, and while it is often difficult to differentiate adults with true ADD from adults who are merely forgetful and disorganized, Organizing Solutions for People with ADD outlines new organizing strategies that will be of value to anyone who wants to improve their organizational (or lack of) skills in their life. The chapters consist of practical organizing solutions for “ADD at Work” (for example, prioritizing, time management, and organizing documents), “ADD at Home” (paying bills on time, de-cluttering your house, scheduling and keeping appointments), “ADD with Kids” (driving them to various activities, grocery shopping and meals, laundry, babysitters, organizing drawers and closets), and “ADD and You” (organizing time for your social life, gym, and various other hobbies and activities). Color photographs that capture the readers’ short attention span are featured throughout, as well as sidebars and testimonials from adults with ADD, providing numerous organizational tips, such as, the importance of dividing time into minutes or moments, task completion, how to avoid procrastination, asking for help, and how not to be a packrat. Susan C. Pinsky is a professional organizer who is a member of the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO), as well as NAPO New England. Other Books of Interest: |
