Publisher's Summary

Do you walk in a room to organize and find yourself paralyzed and overwhelmed?

Do you find yourself spending money on organizing solutions that don't work?

Do you feel like you put in effort but never make any progress?

Or maybe you know exactly what you want to do, and yet for some reason, you just can't get started.

Organizing isn't easy. And having ADHD doesn't make it any easier.

But it doesn't have to be impossible.

If you have ADHD and you've been struggling with organization, it doesn't mean there's something wrong with you.

It just means it's time to try working with your brain instead of against it.

That means:

  • Understanding how your mind works
  • Recognizing your strengths and weaknesses
  • Finding the strategies that work for you

In her latest book, Lisa Woodruff explores the executive functions of the mind that directly affect your ability to organize your home: flexible thinking, working memory, self-monitoring, task initiation, planning, and organization. Along the way, she provides tips and strategies for overcoming obstacles - tools you can use to get the organized house you've been dreaming of.

As a professional organizer, productivity coach, and former teacher, Lisa Woodruff knows that organization is more than just 15-minute daily tasks or cute ways to use fun containers. She's successfully parented, taught, and professionally organized people who struggle with ADHD, and she has been able to help hundreds of women in Cincinnati, Ohio - and thousands of women around the world - get their homes organized and keep them that way.

Meh.

Very short, and really an ad for the author's blog, which is mentioned SO many times! Not worth it.

Big ad for the podcast

Must be my ADHD - was the same tips over and over, good tips but not worth the two hour listen, but might be good for some. Well presented and passionate, just not what I was looking for, but that’s part of the journey 🙏

Great helper for understanding adhd and life

Great audio, helpful in understanding how adhd interacts with life management. Pairs well with her free podcasts. Strongly recommend committing to listening to the entire book.

Just a plug for her podcast

Some good points are toched on, but nothing is expanded on. Instead, she just redirects to her podcast for more information. She even lists which episodes to listen to. For example, for decluttering, she listed 6-7 episodes you should listen to. Sorry, but I bought a book to get information. If I wanted to listen to a podcast, I would have done that.
