Download or read book ADD Friendly Ways to Organize Your Life written by Judith Kolberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-01-04 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 100,000 Copies Sold! Organizing books fall short of addressing the unique needs of adults with ADD. They fail to understand the clinical picture of ADD and how it impacts the organizing process often making their advice irrelevant or frustrating when put into application. Books about ADD may address organization/disorganization but do so in a cursory fashion and on a very small scale in what are usually long books on the subject. This is a book that has ADD-Friendly advice with the ADDer in mind. This collaboration brings forth the best underlying understanding with the most effective and practical remedy from ADD experts in two important fields -- professional organization and clinical psychology. Finally, it offers organizing advice that ranges from self-help to utilizing the help of non-professionals, to using professional assistance. Thus it permits the reader to decide where they are at personally in the organizing process, and what level of support will be most beneficial to their unique situation.

Book excerpt: In every neighborhood in every city, there is someone living in a home packed with possessions, perhaps spanning floor to ceiling as in the extreme cases we've seen on TV. There are times we all grapple with household clutter and feel disorganized. But when chronic disorganization or hoarding behavior seriously impacts the quality of our lives or the lives of people we care about, compassionate, professional intervention can help. In "I'm Right Here: 10 Ways to Get Help for Hoarding and Chronic Disorganization," Jill Yesko, a Certified Professional Organizer(R), explains the difference between chronic disorganization and hoarding disorder and the multiple ways to access resources for help. Some people develop a hoarding disorder after experiencing a traumatic life event. Others accumulate items due to brain-based challenges such as depression, anxiety, or attention deficit disorder. Whatever the underlying reason is, Yesko outlines the resources available to those experiencing extreme organizing challenges with their environments. She explains the advantages of collaborative therapy and the importance of effective communication and support during the decluttering process. Yesko shares her colleagues' strategies and her own experiences, including her work on the TV show Hoarders. Her sensitive, nonjudgmental approach offers hope and healing to people suffering from CD and hoarding disorder. This guide can also be used by therapists, case managers, social workers, and any other helpers to find and access appropriate services and achieve successful outcomes for their clients.

As it is often at these critical junctures, that a professional organizer is born. So join us on our journey - before the Big O - and read our stories about how Professional Organizers got here.

Download or read book Making the SHiFT written by Jen Cazares and published by . This book was released on 2023-03-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making the SHiFT®, True Stories of How People Affected by Chronic Disorganization Learn to Live a Deserving Life, is a guide for professional organizers, related professionals, and those interested in the behaviors of people who live with the challenges of chronic disorganization every day. Combining sage observations from hundreds of client interactions with adaptive organizing techniques, this work synthesizes professional organizer Jen Cazares's cumulative knowledge of psychology, sociology, research, and education. It provides guidance for putting this knowledge into practice with compassion and understanding and tapping into the enormous healing potential of the SHiFT® method.While observing and interacting with her clients, the author, Jen Cazares, noticed they all shared a basic, underlying pattern. It became apparent that organizing overstuffed households involved more than decluttering tangible assets; the complicated intangibles of personal behavior run deeper and wider. When the weight of clutter buries their social connections with family and friends, negatively impacts their physical health and the health of their home, depletes their finances, and wastes their time, Cazares's clients lose sight of who they are and their purpose in life. Cazares created the SHiFT® method of organizing to challenge, reframe, and mitigate her clients' underlying behavior. The SHiFT® method of organizing peels off the layers of clutter so that people who struggle with chronic disorganization can breathe, flourish, and live a deserving life. SHiFT® is both an acronym and a metaphor. As an acronym, SHiFT® represents Cazares's trademarked, proprietary approach to organizing. Each letter represents the most impactful areas that clutter disrupts in a person's life: "S" stands for social connections, "H" for health, "i" for I am deserving, "F" for finances, and "T" for time.As a metaphor, SHiFT® describes moving from fragmentation into wholeness. By applying the SHiFT® method, readers can help individuals affected by chronic change their relationship with their belongings and vastly improve their quality of life.
