2.75/5 I rated this self-help book at just over par because most of the solutions the author provided were hacks I had already discovered and or devised for myself in an effort to cope with my day to day existence. I wasn’t professionally diagnosed with Adult ADHD until I was in my mid-fifties. Having spent five decades chastising myself for being disorganized, easily distracted, overwhelmed,—and according to my disapproving mother—slower than molasses, I developed coping mechanisms over time. In order to navigate homework, full-time work, tertiary education, renting, volunteering, homeownership, motherhood and project management, it was absolutely essential to develop coping mechanisms and ways in which to organize myself. Disappointedly, this book added little to the strategies I had already organically devised out of desperation. About the only tip I hadn’t already contemplated or tried out was the suggestion of only buying myself two different coloured socks!
