This sounds really good. I'm going to order it. Perna, one of the reader reviews on Amazon says the person threw it across the room. Could that be you?

I am really curious about the response of throwing a book across the room. Is it because the material was totally irrelevant to you and so was annoying? Like, "yeah, right, this is sooo not going to help me!"

I have a few books on ADHD and some are definitely more helpful to me than others. The really practical ones are helpful to me, with tips and clear ideas on how to implement. The ones that have not been helpful for me say stuff like "let's look at the real reason you are procrastinating, let's dig deep and discover why you do this to yourself." I tend to like to go deep, but yet there are some things I don't want to dig deep on. I just want to fix them, and if keeping lists and setting timers will help me be better organized, that's all I need.
