    1. The Disorganized Mind: Coaching Your ADHD Brain to Take Control of Your Time, Tasks, and Talents by Nancy A. Ratey If You've Been Diagnosed With, Or Someone Has Ever Kidded That You Have Add Or Adhd, Then Run Out And Purchase This Book! For the millions of adults diagnosed with ADHD The Disorganized Mind will provide expert guidance on what they can do to make the most of their lives. The inattention, time-mismanagement, procrastination, impulsivity, distractibility, and difficulty with transitions that often go hand-in-hand with ADHD can be overcome with the unique approach that Nancy Ratey brings to turning these behaviors around. The Disorganized Mind addresses the common issues confronted by the ADHD adult:
    2. “Where did the time go?” “I’ll do it later, I always work better under pressure anyway.” “I’ll just check my e-mail one more time before the meeting…” “I’ll pay the bills tomorrow – that will give me time to find them.” Professional ADHD coach and expert Nancy Ratey helps readers better understand why their ADHD is getting in their way and what they can do about it. Nancy Ratey understands the challenges faced by adults with ADHD from both a personal and professional perspective and is able to help anyone move forward to achieve greater success.

Ratey I just finished reading The Disorganized Mind and about 3/4 of the book is now dog-eared. Technically speaking, I don't have ADD/ADHD; I have a brain injury. My attention span and working memory are short and unreliable (at best) and the part of my brain that's in charge of steering me around and getting things done ("executive functions") no longer does its job. So... practically speaking, I experience many ADD "symptoms". I've tried many types of rehab but have seen little improvement in day-to- day living. This book hit home in so many (MANY!) ways and offered very clear, workable strategies for taking control of specific issues. I really liked the book's explaining:doing ratio. The author offers plenty of insight into why you might be experiencing problem X, without getting bogged down in the whys of it all. For people with a limited attention span, getting to the
    3. DO-ing part ASAP is mission critical and the book's author clearly understands that. For me, the most invaluable part of The Disorganized Mind is the concept of ADD/ADHD coaching. I don't know how it works for "true" ADD/ADHD- ers, but I can read great books all day long and as soon as the book closes - POOF! all that great information is completely lost to me. Never to be thought of again. But having another person play the part of "spare brain" (or attention, or whatever) to help guide me through specific strategies has given me real hope. This is not the only ADD/ADHD book I've read, but it's the only one I can say that about.
