Reading time – 3 minutes

This is the name of a book that can help people with ADD to get organized. It can also help other people to understand how they can assist someone with ADD to get organized. The person without ADD acts as a coach.

ADD Friendly ways to Organize your Life

The book mentions:

Stop coaches – help to determine when the task is finished
Decision Coaches – someone who can help to clarify thoughts and feelings by asking questions
Priority coaches – talk things over to help make things clearer

There are chapters on:

different approaches to organizing,
thing organizing,
time organizing and
paper organizing.

Each chapter suggests strategies and processes for a person with ADD to try. Then the chapter continues and explains how a coach, friend or family member can assist. The last part of the chapter explains how a Professional Organizer would work with the client.

Easy to Use

The book is written and formatted so it is easy for a person with ADD to use. The sections are short. There are circles and boxes, headings and bullet points and a review section at the end of each chapter. Judith Kolberg, a Professional Organizer and Kathleen Nadeau, a Psychologist have collaborated to create a book full of strategies that work.
