Organizing books fall short of addressing the unique needs of adults with ADD. They fail to understand the clinical picture of ADD and how it impacts the organizing process often making their advice irrelevant or frustrating when put into application. Books about ADD may address organization/disorganization but do so in a cursory fashion and on a very small scale in what are usually long books on the subject. This is a book that has ADD-Friendly advice with the ADDer in mind. This collaboration brings forth the best underlying understanding with the most effective and practical remedy from ADD experts in two important fields professional organization and clinical psychology. Finally, it offers organizing advice that ranges from self-help to utilizing the help of non-professionals, to using professional assistance. Thus it permits the reader to decide where they are at personally in the organizing process, and what level of support will be most beneficial to their unique situation.

August 29, 2009: I wonder how many reviews will be written about this book, since someone with ADD will probably put off writing one. On the other hand, a person with ADD might micro-focus on cleaning out their email and avoid doing other things. Well, I understand this better now after reading this book (actually, my wife read it to me, since I'm always too busy procrastinating to read anything).
There are many useful tips for organizing and understanding how things work and how to get the most out of the little details in ones life.
