Review: ADD Friendly Ways to Organize Your Life by Judith Kohlberg and Kathleen Nadeau
First let me say that I am not diagnosed with ADD but over the years I have gotten many of my most useful tips for out of ADD organizing books -- since generally they are meant for a mind that jumps here, there and everywhere and likes things to be available visually.
This book nailed that personality and there were enough useful tips in this for me to give it 3 stars. However there were many parts were the authors detailed strategies that were far to complicated IMO. Although the authors apparently have successfully used their techniques with those with ADD -here is no way I could use some of their strategies--the reminder papers for example: file them under A-Z, then keep a separate notebook detailing where they are at with alternate naming possibilitie
Additionally I found myself mentally skipping over all the sections where the book repeated over and over how you would need to get others to help - which is just not going to happen in my life (not to mention I can't really imagine that many people can really afford to hire someone to do all the many things they are saying).
