Judith Kolberg, ADD-Friendly Ways to Organize Your Life.. I find this book a terrific manual. It has helped make my work with ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder)-affected clients the most rewarding. Here it is summed up by an Amazon.com reviewer, Bolo Gorkman: "I bought this book hoping it would help me sort my stacks of papers that constantly threaten to topple off my desk, kitchen table, etc. And it has, but it is so much more. It gives hints on how to organize all aspects of your life to make living with ADD easier. I've highlighted and dog-eared it up, and have started applying a lot of things from the book; something that I can't say for other books I've read. And unlike a lot of so-called ADD-friendly books, this one is easy to stay in tune with almost all the time."

Julie Morgenstern, Time Management from the Inside Out... Julie applies her acclaimed space-management system to managing time! From Publisher's Weekly: "What makes her program work, she attests, is that instead of trying to change people's natural behaviors and preferences, she encourages them to expand upon whatever is working already, no matter how overwhelmed they may feel. It all starts with knowing what one's big picture values and goals are (e.g., maintaining a happy marriage, excelling at one's career) and prioritizing those with the help of an ingenious device she's created called a "Time Map."

Stephanie Culp, How to Conquer Clutter... A clutter questionnaire, clutter checklists... how to wage war on clutter, practically speaking. Stephanie has a sharp (and sometimes caustic) sense of humor. But the majority of readers make comments like "This book is like a best friend encouraging you to declutter. Her organizational recommendations are simple and require little overhead."
