Professional Review:
Women with AD/HD tormented by the daily chores and decisions needed to survive in a world of linear thinking will find solace in this self-help guide. Offering a collection of practical solutions to seemingly simple daily problems, this book will help to relieve the guilt and anxiety so many women have when they feel they don't measure up to the norms of today's society. These proven gems of wisdom, submitted by hundreds of women with AD/HD from all over the world, will help the reader painlessly get through the piles of laundry on her floor and stacks of paper on her desk. Written to accommodate readers with AD/HD who often have difficulty reading a book from cover to cover, this guide is designed like a manual, allowing them to flip through to areas of interest without having to read the entire book to find what they need. Practical tips provide help in dealing with organizational tasks, including paperwork in the home and office, preparing meals, social situations, paying bills on time, household chores, shopping, and personal and family health.

User Reviews:
 Rating 2   Written on January 28, 2007
   Summary: Good for people without ADD?
Like a few of the reviewers have already mentioned, I thought that the book would be spiral bound with tabs. It's not - it's just a paperback book.

1. The author wrote very little and mostly compiled suggestions from women with ADD.
2. There are too many chapters to keep track of.
3. The suggestions are vaguely grouped, but not particularly well. There are a number of repeat suggestions. I had to take notes outside the book or I'd never be able to find the useful hints.

Like most of the women-oriented ADD books, the "women" oriented material is really "mother" or "home-maker" material. This is particularly complicated by the fact that the quotes aren't organized at all, so I get suggestions about how many hours a day I should spend cleaning the various locations in my house when I only have 8 hours available outside of work. Plenty of women are mothers but plenty of women aren't.

Read "ADD-Friendly ways to Organize your Life" instead. It's *packed* with useful suggestions, and it's in a very ADD-friendly format. After that, you could try this book.


 Rating 1   Written on January 11, 2007
   Summary: Not worth buying
This was way too basic and not worth the money or the time to even open the cover. You can find this information on any website and it was a total waste of time and money.

 Rating 5   Written on August 7, 2006
   Summary: Awesome information and very handy!
This is a great quick resource! It has wonderful ideas and tips that have been used by others that have the same struggles, so it can really be a great resource!

   Summary: Beyond The Piles and Junk
I really enjoyed the book, it has become my bible. It is written for people who want the easy way to do things. I am working on sorting out every thing. It's tough but the book is really helping me along.

 Rating 2   Written on February 22, 2006
   Summary: Not worth the cost
The book is just a series of short notes with very simplistic ideas such as buying notebooks/3 ring binders/ folders. All of the info is readily available on-line and for free.
