Average Customer Ratings:
ADD, Attention Deficit Disorder and ADHD, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, are prevalent in society today, 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; 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 short attention span of the reader 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.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
The only book you need to read on organizing... a must for ADDers! -
This book is an excellent resource for those with ADD and not. First of all it is extremely easy to read, well organized, with lots of pictures- perfect for someone with ADD or someone who wants to learn practical solutions quickly. The book gives advice room by room and solutions that are designed with a person with ADD in mind, but that can be applied to others as well. The advice in this book has revolutionized my home, and has helped me realize why I had so much trouble keeping everything clean and in order. This is a must read, it is my favorite and I refer to it often!

If you have AD/HD and have tried to get organized without success, this is a good book for you. After reading this book I now am actually getting organized. You will realize why all the organizing systems you have tried before never worked. They were for brains that didn't have AD/HD. Two more great books are: "4 Weeks to an Organized Life with AD/HD", and "ADD-Friendly Ways to Organize Your Life"
Amazing results! -
I've had this book for three days, have read almost all of it, and have used it to organize my pantry, bedroom, and walk-in closet! And I haven't spent a penny! I'm so excited to get the linen closet, dish cupboards, and everything else done, as well! And I am working on scheduling a couple of days with my husband and helpers to finally tackle that beast of a garage!
With ADHD, I'll never be able to make Martha Stewart proud,(note to self, cancel that subscription,) nor will I ever get the proper use out of my boxes and boxes of organizational tupperware. I get it now, thanks to this book. But I can and have created efficient spaces that are manageable!
Being frugal never got me organized, but "the brutal purge," has done wonders for our home! I can finally justify getting rid of all of that stuff that I have kept, "just in case!"
The book itself is easy to read, has step-by-step instructions for organizing and has lots of easy, inexpensive tips for organizing things without spending lots of money. Basically, you have to make the stuff fit the space, or invest in more space! What a simple concept, but this woman illustrates it and motivates so that it is finally achieveable!
I was just diagnosed less than three weeks ago, and life is brighter than ever, now! And cleaner!
wasteful and costly ideas to 'simplify' life -
The layout of Organizing Solutions resembles a magazine, having glossy pages with lots of images and little text. the layout simplifies finding ideas and makes it particularly easy for those withADHD or other learning disabilities to find tips quickly without getting lost in a jumble of text. it has sections covering each room of the house plus ideas of how to handle specific items or tasks that occur in those rooms (paying bills, folding laundry, etc.). as a basic intro for those who have not figured out how to organize many parts of their homes, or certain areas in particular, this could be a helpful book. but, for me, the flaws outnumber it's usefulness.
Pinsky spends too much time arguing for efficiency at the cost of beauty and frugality, which essentially means you need to have some money to implement her ideas. yardwork a hassle? hire someone. can't get your room organized? buy more furniture. there are a lot of helpful tips, but the wastefulness ("it is quicker and more efficient to use paper plates as your "china" of choice at everything but your most formal meals.") was too much for me to handle. in talking about efficiency, she frequently suggests using open shelves and open storage bins so it's easier to just toss (or, to use her term, "wing") things into the containers instead of wasting time with doors and lids. the problem with that system that she never addresses is how to handle the amount of dust that will get on everything and inside those containers, creating a new problem altogether (but i guess you just hire a housekeeper to handle that, as she suggests hiring one to clean other parts of the house).
if you're having trouble getting a particular part of the house organized, skim through that section of the book in a bookstore or library (they're nicely labeled and color coded) to get some ideas, but leave the book behind.

this book is amazing, it's like the author took many years to study my living habits. i never knew how much AD/HD affected my home life, i though it only effected school and driving. i bet it probaly effects the workplace too, i wonder if there is any books about that. the 2 most important things it said that struck me to the bone is how ppl with AD/HD require more engery imput into any task, so they get tired and overwhelmed much eaiser, and that what you don't see you forget about, end up buying duplicates of, and that is it hard for someone with AD/HD to get rid of stuff, getting rid of too much too fast is overwhelming. And as i had started to discover on my own that taking closet doors off helps me a lot to keep the closet organized and helps me to keep track of clean clothes and put them away eaiser, the book also said sometime you need to remove cubard doors, keep things out in the open, it may not me more attractive but it is more fuctional, fuctional is the key to keeping the AD/HD home organized. fuctional is easily accesable and easy to put back. The book goes into details of how to display things and where to put things so that it makes the most sence... it also gives us permision to not make our beds!!!! personaly with my bed when it's not in use (wich it is a lot, also explained in the book) i leave it with just the pillow and fitted sheet on it, all the sheets and blankets are on a shelf between the side of my bed and the wall. sometimes they are folded sometimes they are not, but it's easy access and easy to put back and i dn't have to get out of bed att night if i wake up cold and need another blanket. some stuff in the book is logic, like next to every phone there should be a notebook and a pen/pencil, personaly when i did this i velcroed the notepad and pen to the shelf next to the phone. that is just a little of what the book is about, you have to read it for the details of how to do it. if you want to contact me for help beyond what the book can give you i am at fight_the_good_fight@hotmail.com Also i learned that having less stuff really does decrease stress, i had to spend a weekend away from home and only had 2 hours to pack, taking only the nessisties and living with only them really helped me focus on my life and what i needed to do about the things that werre stressing me out.
