Survey #276—Full Response from Sandra
| What useful decluttering or organizing strategies or methods did you take away from the book? | This is really a book for everybody. Loved the idea of taking green breaks. I noted one sentence that seems very true: ADD math - addition without subtraction. |
|---|---|
| What parts or aspects of the book did you find difficult to grasp or challenging to apply to your home or situation? | This is A LOT of information in the book so it feels just as overwhelming as the mind of someone with ADD I guess. |
| Please share your favorite quotations or key ideas and concepts from this book. | Page 222: Don't apologize for this need. Instead, recognize it and arrange your life accordingly. |
| Kolberg and Nadeau base most of their “ADD-friendly organizing strategies” on the idea that people with ADHD can reframe their neurodivergent traits as strengths, working with their ADHD to take charge of life. | I will use their approach in my youth mentoring program. |
| Throughout the book, Kolberg and Nadeau suggest a three-pronged approach to applying their organizing strategies: You may do the work yourself; enlist the help of nonprofessionals, such as family and friends; and/or employ the services of professionals, such as professional organizers, ADHD coaches, and counselors. | The book made me realize I should have worked with a professional organizer when I started decluterring the house. The book mentions considering the cost of not enlisting support when deciding whether support is affordable. I would have saved a lot of time! |
| Please rate this book on a scale of one to five stars. | 5 |
| Future topics | I would be fun to watch Gayle live with clients who agree to share their experience. Or "before and after" photos would be interesting too, with explanations about what went on from start to finish. |
