Plans B for ADHD Losing focus, disorganization, impulse control, restlessness--if this sounds familiar you might like to read this book, and see if ADHD applies to you. If it does, you'll find helpful strategies for coping with it. You can make things easier for yourself and for the people around you too.I recommend this book, which was given to me by the publisher. Thank you!How to use a notebook and other tips For background: I have combined type ADHD, I struggle equally with inattention and impulse control. I do have issues with overwhelm (mostly from sensory overload/overstimulation) but don't have problems with mental flexibility.Pros:- I appreciate that most of the advice and guided exercises are written in list form. It makes it easy to flip through the book and find something you wanted to review.- The advice is clear and actionable. It's easy to see whether each exersise would be useful and how, and to adapt the steps to suit your specific needs/goals.Con:- I found the conversational style of the book's main passages to be tedious to get through. The author seems likeable and all, but I bought this book because I can hardly get through the normal tasks of my life. I don't need the advice to be fluffed up with asides and examples.Grey area:- The advice hinges on your ability to take notes throughout your day and to review those notes. I do appreciate that there are specific pointers about how to break up tasks properly into notes and what to write down. There are also some general tips about maintaining a notebook. It just seems like a bit of a stretch to me. If I could keep track of a notebook why would I be here? At the same time, I feel a self help book can reasonably ask the reader to make changes and put in work, so overall I'm not too mad about it.There was no really groundbreaking advice in this book, but having it contained into lists I can easily reference in the future should be helpful.Adult ADHD The book for review is “Thriving with Adult ADHD: Skills To Strengthen Executive Functioning” by Phil Boissiere, MFT. This book falls in the genre of psychology and ADHDDo you have ADHD? Perhaps you know someone who does.The book starts off with an overview on what Adult ADHD is. It breaks down into five skills.-Attention and focus-Organizing an planning-Mental flexibility-Emotion regulation-Impulse controlIn the beginning there is a small quiz to determine how far off you are in each skill or how well you are doing it. This gives you an overview on where you stand per each skill. The book than dives into separate chapters for each skill.Each chapter lays out strategies to help you work on the areas that you are struggling with. A notebook is recommended to take notes and also work out the various activities inside the book.This was a very interesting and informative book. Even if one does not have ADHD there are strategies inside that can help someone with the skill sets that are mentioned. I did enjoy reading it and did the assessments that were offered. Normally as a reviewer I pass on books on but this one I will keep to read again. It can help people with work, family and events in their lives to make life less stressful.I received this book for free from the Callisto Publishing Club but the opinions are my own.
