Organizing Solutions for People with Adhd, 2nd Edition-Revised and Updated: Tips and Tools to Help You Take Charge of Your Life and Get Organized by Susan C. Pinsky

4.0

While geared toward households in which at least one person has ADHD, the tools and techniques outlined here will be useful to anyone interested in making organization as simple and easy as possible. Pinsky offers no-nonsense advice and realistic solutions for getting rid of clutter (what she calls "the brutal purge") and, importantly, for minimizing the the number of actions and decisions it takes put things back in their proper place. Importantly, the author is painfully clear that organized isn't always pretty: a neat and orderly home will likely not look at all like the ones pictured in magazines and shared via Pinterest and Instagram. No, open topped trash bins are not the most attractive things in the world, but having several of them strategically placed around your home will make your home neater. Her simple filing system--just throw everything in one box, and toss --has been my solution for years, and it works incredibly well. And her minimizing advice is completely on point: Really, you don't need that many photographs, books, etc, no matter how much you love them all.

Obviously, this is useful advice for people who struggle with ADHD or executive functioning challenges. But I highly, highly recommend this book for anyone who suffers from decision overload or who just wants a simpler way to stay organized and minimize/deal with the endless volume of information, paper, and STUFF making demands on our through our attention every single day.
