Book Reviews of Conquering Chronic Disorganization 2nd Edition
Book Review: not just another organizing book
Summary: 5 Stars
Note: This review refers to the first edition (third printing).
As an adult woman with ADHD, I struggle with organization -- particularly paperwork -- both at home and in my job in middle management. This book is brief, but that is not a bad thing. I really didn't want to read another 300 page book with a detailed system. This book presented a whole variety of techniques from which I could choose. Some of us have a hard time staying focused without another person to help us stay on task; Kolberg talks about how to develop a "crew" (your family, a group of friends who can help you) or a body double (a person to keep you on task) to help you. For those of us who are really visually oriented, she offers specific tips. For those of us who deal with impulsivity, she offers techniques grounded in emotional decision making -- how you connect with/feel about the objects around you. For people who are kinesthetic learners -- you learn through motion/touching -- she offers other techniques.
The techniques Kolberg presents aren't complicated, but many were ones that I never would have thought of. The book isn't expensive, and I believe that many people who haven't been able to follow through with other (very good!) organizing techniques will likely find a few in this book that will work. Kolberg recognizes that people are different. Not all techniques will work for all people. However, some worked well for me, and I highly recommend the book.
