Dated advice and repetitive ideas

It's dated. I won't keep a note book by my home phone. And I don't need to pay someone to tell me to keep a notebook.

A lot of advice is repeated 2, 3 or 4 times in the book. Is it to compensate for lack of ideas?

Performance of the reader is ok but not spectacular. A little bit on the flat side.

Overall, not worth the price.

Great book for ADHD people

Love the way it is presented and explained. Found lots of ideas that are functioning for me in areas of myself where I was always stressed about.

Great information!

This is a great book for people looking for new ways to accomplish household tasks for people with ADHD. My recommendation would be to include a downloadable PDF file so one can easily review these ideas when attempting to organize the house. It is cumbersome to take notes to review later and time-consuming to have to listen repeatedly to remember the author's helpful hints.

I would definitely encourage people to listen to this book for some ingenious new ways to get your rooms in order!

I want to love it but I can't

I really wanted to love this but I just can't. Being an adult female with ADHD this couldn't keep my attention for more than a few minutes. When I was actively listening I found the author a bit condescending at times and although she shares that her methods help those with ADHD and her daughter with ADHD you can clearly tell she does not suffer from it herself. I'm not saying that she isn't qualified but you can clearly tell by some of her wording that she doesn't understand it to its full capacity.

You really need to read between the lines with some of her suggestions and take some things she says with a grain of salt. For example, I love to cook and have gadgets and servewear that I don't use on a daily basis. To her I should throw them out because they don't get enough daily use. What happens when I have a large dinner party? Do I now go out and repurchase these items again?

Another example, I don't have a large house nor do I have a lot of storage space. I also don't have much space to create storage. Yes I can declutter and purge but that doesn't make my home any larger. No, I'm not comfortable with being okay with running out of staples and using tissues instead of toilet paper because it's not my day to go to the grocery store...I also have a toddler that wants different types of snacks on different days. While some are staples, they're not always the same.

The only helpful advice I really got from this is to make your organization work for you...

Makes a lullaby feel like heavy metal.

I was looking forward to organizing strategies as a person with ADHD. I am sure somewhere in this book are those strategies.

I'm befuddled how an author, whose audience is an ADHD population, would be so circuitous in her writing. Sleeeeepy from this.

I would love the cliff notes version if anyone has them.

I am sure there is good info but PLEASE chop off the rest.

Outdated and dreadful listen.

They why behind methods working is probably why I gave this 2 stars. It’s a perfect listen if you need to fall asleep, don’t listen to while driving.

Terrible!

I will be trying to navigate audible to return this. Within the first 2 chapters I have found this book not only not helpful, but actually quite hurtful.

Do not waste your credit

I really was hoping to find some organizational tips. But this is a shameful leftist agenda pushing nonsensical diatribe of useless words. I can't even call it useless information as there is very little informative content in this book. I'm requesting a refund.

Not what I expected, but good

I did not expect this book to tell me about my home. The general narrative is about putting your things where they belong and optimizing physical spaces. Reducing belongings - sure, but there's no advice on how to stop procrastinating over this

Finally an answer

Me? ADHD? Nah…
Well I think I’ve just been diagnosed. Seriously. What a breakthrough for me! Well organized and insightful. Suggestions make sense.
If you’ve struggled for years trying to get organized, this might be your answer.
