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

This is a good book overall. Some ideas are great (give each family member his/her own color of towels and his/her own laundry day, hang a long wire rack on the bathroom door, store magazines vertically in baskets and racks, put recycling bins all over the house). Some suggestions are silly--e.g. don't itemize donations because it's an inefficient use of time (I spend about 10 minutes each year on this for hundreds in tax deductions!). And some are just obnoxious (limit photos to 2 per birthday party, 6 per vacation, and 10 per year; save only two pieces of each child's art or writing per year; stop giving friends Christmas presents).

I'm not sure why this is marketed to people with ADHD. The organization tips are potentially useful to anyone.
