Overall, "The Ultimate Guide to ADHD Workbook for Cleaning and Organizing" is a valuable resource for individuals with ADHD who are seeking effective strategies to improve their organizational skills. Its blend of scientific knowledge and practical exercises makes it a useful tool for creating a more organized and manageable living environment.

The Ultimate ADHD Workbook for Cleaning and Organization allows individuals with ADHD to discover their “ADHD Superpowers,” identify their unique challenges, and learn numerous strategies/tips to improve their quality of life.
Let me preface my review with two things: 1) I do not have ADHD and 2) I am a clinical psychologist who frequently conducts neuropsychological evaluations (3-4 per week). Initially, I was losing focus during the first few chapters because it’s all of the “boring textbook stuff.” When you finally get to the tips, there’s a severe lack of pictures or anything visually appealing. I can imagine that someone with ADHD will also be incredibly bored reading this book and would have just preferred to have the list without all the other pages. In the technology chapter, I loved the list of different apps, but I wish the author provided some pictures of the apps or the interface of the apps. This would grab my attention and make me more likely to use a product rather than just reading about it and forgetting it. This book also uses lots of metaphors and analogies, which can be helpful for some people. Overall, many of the tips suggested are things I’m already recommending to my patients so it was not as helpful for me, but I could see how this could be beneficial for someone with ADHD.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read an Advanced Reader’s Copy (ARC) in exchange for my honest opinion and review.

Marlowe Stone’s The Ultimate ADHD Workbook for Cleaning and Organizing is a transformative resource for those struggling to maintain order while navigating the complexities of ADHD. This comprehensive guide offers practical strategies tailored to the ADHD brain, making it a valuable tool for fostering sustainable habits and a more organized lifestyle.

What sets this workbook apart is its focus on empowerment and self-compassion. Rather than simply providing a rigid set of rules, it equips readers with adaptable methods that acknowledge the challenges of ADHD while helping them build realistic and achievable routines. It encourages progress over perfection and meets readers where they are in their journey.

Reading this book with my daughter and watching her implement its strategies into her daily life has been inspiring. The workbook’s practicality, functionality, and approachability are standout features, making it practical and enjoyable. While it is specifically designed for individuals with ADHD, I believe its strategies can benefit many others—busy parents, time-pressed professionals, or anyone looking to bring more structure and calm into their lives.

Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for this review copy

So useful for those like me who struggle with tidying and keeping a neat house. The first ADHD struggle is sitting down to read the book in the first place!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for letting me access an advance copy of this book in exchange for my review.

As an adult who suffers from ADHD, I am always looking for ways to stay motivated, tidy and focused on my work around the house. This book had some really great tips and tricks on how to stay on top of things. For the longest time, I couldn’t understand why I was not getting things done and why my surroundings were so chaotic. This book includes organization skills specially to make your life less chaotic. It was really nice to read that I am not alone and that there is actually a reason why I have some of the habits that I do. I really like the MAGIC method and I am going to be using this going forward. This book is life changing.

Some really good ideas and helpful tips
Definitely helped me organise and motivate myself to get things done during half term when my routine is disrupted!

I work in a seconandary school that is heavy on the SEN need side and some of these will be perfect to pass on to some students to help them.

This book is wonderful! To have a book on the topics of organisation and cleaning for neurodiverse brains is a unique angle that is utterly game changing. The book links to a quiz which helps us identify our specific challenges as well in strengths and this information os used to help us ace our home organisation. It feels like a handhold without shame or guilt through an area that is pretty major in our mental health (we spend so much time in our homes, having our homes as clutter free and well organised as possible is major).

The book provides practical strategies that hone in on the specific areas of our home that typically need attention, with manageable solutions that are broken down to minimise overwhelm. The approach uses acronyms to help us focus and stay motivated, also music and tech are considered amongst an array of other (often surprising!) resources, tips and hints.

All in all a great resource!

My thanks to NetGalley, author and publisher for the opportunity to review this book in exchange for an advance copy.

I received a copy from NetGalley and I'm willingly leaving a review
The author explains in details how the ADHD brain works; I'm not sure if this is necessary since you would already know this, having been diagnosed. Sometimes I felt like Stone was talking to children, not adults. In many parts of the book, I could identify myself or one of my children. I wished the author would have also pointed out what others have to go through when we show either our kryptonite or our superpowers. Point in fact, I just saw my husband pick up all the grocery bags around the kitchen after I emptied them (it's usually the opposite, but he just had surgery). I really like using creative ways to organize. I was happy to see that I was already doing many of the ideas found in the multiple lists in the book and noted a few new ones I wanted to try. The Humor Hero was really weird to me and I won't commit to this (LOL). I think everyone should have an extra set of sheets in case of emergency; it happens at all ages. Also, those sheets need to cool down before you make the bed. The Post-It idea on mirrors is too loud for me (overload). Many suggestions from chapters 4 and 7 could easily all be contained in the TickTick app; it does all that and more - check it out. In the 101 list of hacks, many are repeated as a variation; for ex. Pomodoro (25/5) is the same as the 20/10 Method - just change the numbers. There is something for everyone in here.

As someone with ADD, staying organized and keeping things clean can be a real struggle. This book has been such a game-changer with its easy tips and exercises that actually help you get organized in a way that works for you. It’s full of 101 creative ideas that make decluttering feel less overwhelming, focusing on simple and practical ways to get things done. Tricks like using visual cues, color-coding, and setting up specific spaces help cut down on distractions and make it easier to stay on track. The book also breaks things down with the MAGIC Method for daily routines and has tons of helpful resources like checklists and links. What I love most is how it turns what feels like weaknesses into strengths, making the whole decluttering process feel doable and kind of empowering.

*Thank you to NetGalley, Marlowe Stone, and Independently Published for providing the opportunity to read this eARC in exchange for a review, but all thoughts are my own*

I thought this one was ok. It goes for a little about the ADHD brain, which if you’re like me and picked this up because you read everything on ADHD was nothing new. I also do most of these cleaning tips already so I didn’t gain as much out of this as others might.

I received my copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

The description of The Ultimate ADHD Workbook for Cleaning and Organizing by Marlowe Stone states it contains over 100 hacks and strategies that work with your brain, not against it.

The book provides an online resources area with an ADHD Superpowers Quiz. After you take the quiz it tells you what it has identified as your strengths (Superpowers) and as your weaknesses (Kryptonite).

There are also monthly challenges charts, checklists and other materials available there.

I think this book would be best for someone that needs help both in identifying what their strengths/weaknesses are and in learning some methods that may make organization/cleaning easier.

I was excited to read his book as a mom of 4 ADHD boys. The layout is pretty straightforward and broken into sections. There is a 'quiz' to take online but I wish there was one just in the book. A lot of the book is information about ADHD so if you are just starting the journey it could be helpful. I found most of the suggestions and tips to be things pretty commonly suggested and redundant. I did like the last fourth of the book where some newer ideas and information was presented. Especially the link between ADHD and video games soundtracks! ovrrall, I would gift this book to a mom who is new to the world of ADHD but just recommend borrowing for those long in the trenches.

This was a really great read. I have suffered with ADHD in adulthood and this really helped me to settle my thoughts.

Disclaimer: I have not been diagnosed with ADHD, but there are definitely some ADHD type things I struggle with. While this book is aimed directly at people with ADHD, I think that it has useful tips that can be used by anyone. It strikes a nice balance between tips for tidying and also breaking down how ADHD works and how to use the strengths to your advantage while thinking about how to avoid the pitfalls. There are some useful things in here I'll take with me. One thing I never will though is the repeated insistence to wear your shoes while cleaning. Shoes are not for inside.

I don't think I will ever be finished with this. It's a work book and I know I will find myself dipping into it time and time again. Clear, focused, practical and implementable stratagies, from someone with lived experience.
