ADHD Organizing and Cleaning Solutions: Unlock the Power of the 5-minute Task; Avoid Stress and Overwhelm, Beat Procrastination and Transform Your ... Zone (The ADHD Success Toolkit for Adults)

Having ADHD and issues with over commitment, I completely forgot about this book and then one day, I got another reminder about leaving a review! I'm so glad she didnt give up on me! From the Introduction to the last exercise, Sleep Tracking for ADHD, this book kept me engaged and actively moving through the exercises, once I got started! It explained things that I could never put into words and helped with the many tools, from planners and trackers, regulating emotions and communication to meal planning. I highly recommend this book and the tools provided. I see so much progress and the possibilities are endless. I'm grateful that someone was able to document and share the guidance and tools I paid an ADHD Coach to implement in my son's life during high school. Now I have a fighting chance as well! Get the book, you won't regret it.

I agree with the author: Clutter is a visual and mental irritant, draining our energy and keeping our minds in a state of low-level stress. Like background noise. I like that this book has short paragraphs with lots of bullet points, checklists, and engaging bubble quotes. Perfect for people with ADHD who find organization and staying focused on a task a challenge and overwhelming. The 5-minute task technique is a handy tip. The author also offers many tips for an ADHD-friendly organization plan, such as having a planner, sticky notes, and color coding. Most helpful to me was the kick-starting, the routine/habit building, how to visualize and develop a mindset, and mental prep for the task at hand- basically, how to avoid procrastination and task paralysis. Lots of insights and tips in the chapter Decluttering 101. There are two sections. The first part is about getting yourself organized, while the second part dives into the main areas of the house as well as clearing the digital clutter and tips on meal planning and grocery shopping. Highly recommended and good value. My opinions are my own.

This is a nice, friendly collection of organization tips, specifically framed for the ADHD brain: short, bite-size chapters of meaningful content, useful tips, emphasis on baby steps and manageable portions of task time, and dangling of motivational rewards. You've seen it all before, but this reminds you that your organizational chores are tackle-able, manageable, and achievable.

This is the BIBLE on household management that feels realistic! Having read multiple books on similar topics including household guides from the 90s, and an organization book by a mother of 10(hey I figured if she could do it, it’ll make me feel more inspired as a household of 1), nothing hits home as much as this book did. This book makes me feel seen, understood, and inspired to finally get my act together! I love how it starts by alleviating judgment and describing how the brain functions. One of the chapters that is pure gold is the one on recommended tools and apps, many I haven’t heard of before. The cherry on top is the dedicated chapter on doom piles. I love the actionable and realistic questions and checklists. It makes tackling this feel attainable for once and it’s not just about how to do it, but also more importantly, how to maintain! I also love that there are great summaries of some amazing experts and considerations for their utility with ADHD brains.
