Organizing Solutions for People With Attention Deficit Disorder: Tips and Tools to Help You Take Charge of Your Life and Get Organized by Susan C. Pinsky
4.0
I read the new 2023 edition and I think what I liked best about the book is that it acknowledges that the organizational systems that get the job done and require minimal effort may look inelegant, and that's ok.
As other reviewers pointed out, sometimes the book feels geared to parents and partners of people with ADHD, rather than speaking directly to people with ADHD. Still, I would give it 3.5 stars because I think the overall philosophy of striving for minimalism and efficiency has helped me achieve a (somewhat) less chaotic apartment, and there were some helpful ideas that I would like to try. I don't think the suggested solutions will be universally helpful (I think that would be impossible as noone's ADHD experience is the same), and I can't really speak to how helpful this book would be for someone who is feeling completely overwhelmed by home organization. But I think it might at least offer some practical ideas as well as insight on why things DON'T work.
