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
3.0
There’s lots of good advice in Pinsky’s book, but some of it is quite outdated. I took a “take what resonates and leave the rest” approach, so I’m still glad I read it. Pinsky herself does not have ADHD (her daughter does), and some readers may find this relevant.
It was helpful to learn about ways to simplify systems and remove unnecessary steps. Pinsky also gives her readers permission to sacrifice style for function, a helpful approach for those of us suffering from perfectionism. I found her ideas on organizing bedrooms, office spaces, and bathrooms mostly applicable despite some almost comically biased sections (your teenaged girl will need an area for her hair products, your boy one for his video games!).
However, it was frustrating to read solutions that are largely geared toward people who own entire houses complete with basements (for storage) and dining rooms (which you can repurpose for fun projects!). I kept in mind her basic tenet that your inventory must always be far less than your storage capacity; this is just a lot harder for those of us (most of us?) living in smaller spaces.
It’s well worth a quick read, and you’ll almost definitely want to follow up with (or start with) K.C. Davis’s “How To Keep House While Drowning.”
