This has some good ideas in it, but it's quite slight and seems to bring in a lot of concepts from other writers without always acknowledging. (The "five kinds of object" I believe is from How to Keep House While Drowning but not attributed?) Some of the lists are confusingly edited or have more than one kind of thing on them (the list of timer apps includes Clocky, which is an object), that kind of thing. In general, I think there are more useful books out there for the same audience.

Also, TWO of the "how to work with your superpowers" ideas are "wear a silly hat to clean!" and come on, yo.

This book is very informative and really interesting for someone with ADHD tendencies. I think I would prefer more images and colour but the ideas and concepts are very good.

To rate this book is very subjective, too much so for my liking. Let me elaborate...

I've suffered from clinically diagnosed, debilitating ADHD for my entire adult life (likely before then too, undiagnosed). You could hand me the perfect, holy grail of ADHD books and if I'm not medicated - it's useless. I'm not a doctor, but my personal experience of vs this book's framing of ADHD are very different. I am in no way saying I don't believe that the author has good intentions and the things outlined will never help; some of these ideas will be implemented into my own routine as early as tomorrow. But again, without medication long enough to get the ball rolling on these changes (at the VERY least) - they're useless.
I don't think authors' underestimation of ADHD is unique to this workbook either, just the <i>idea</i> of the slew of ADHD workbooks out there is ridiculous to me. My struggle with cleaning and organizing is a direct <i>result </i>of the ADHD. So this feels like the ADHD equivalent of telling someone with depression to "just be happy!"

The science is interesting and Ch 2 Identifying Your Kryptonite: ADHD Symptoms and Struggles with Executive Functioning would be helpful for those who didn't already have that knowledge. However, the majority of Ch 4's list of 101 Organizing Hacks weren't new or innovative.

If you already know you're someone who can benefit from these kinds of workbooks, more power to ya. If you're hoping this may be "the things that changes it all", it's not.

This book was really practical almost immediately which is awesome. It used a lot of superhero, and what seemed like ADHD internet jargon which was a writing style that didn't resonate with me as much but might resonate more with other people. The tips were really solid through, and grouped by area of the house/method were really good. It was a good balance of high level (ie this is the system to use) and checklists with stuff like 'for the bathroom do X tasks'. I think some of the stuff about brainwaves didn't feel as relevant as the rest of the book. Overall it was a quick and useful read, and I like that the author included printable checklists to help with implementation of the systems.
