[thank you net galley for providing me a free e-copy of this book in exchange for an honest review]

i thought that this book had some useful tips and coping mechanisms, especially the different apps and equipment recommended & it contained a lot of useful reflection moments, however i felt like parts of it delved into the very childish/glossed over ideas of ADHD - i.e., calling it a super power etc - the workbook exercises also kind of added to it and as an ADHDer i couldn’t think of anything worse than carrying out those exercises so ended up skipping over them… i think i would definitely go back to this book as a guide of recommendations for overcoming common ADHD issues but i do not feel like at times it was a 100% appropriate representation of myself anyway and was not formatted for someone like me

3.5 stars

Not particularly original in its content, this is still a cool organisation (pun intended) of some witty and useful tips for those with ADHD.

I really enjoyed this book - from the way it was laid out, to the workbook questions, and the actionable steps for people with ADHD. As someone who struggles to stay clean and manage my ADHD symptoms, I really appreciated Stowe‘s approach in this book.

The Ultimate ADHD Workbook for Cleaning and Organizing offers a refreshingly understanding approach to tackling the mess in a way that aligns with the ADHD mind. It provides not just tips, but a complete strategy tailored to the unique ways an ADHD brain manages tasks. The book lays out practical steps, including the insightful MAGIC Method for daily routines, and it’s packed with resources like checklists and links that make a real difference. What I love most is how it turns perceived weaknesses into strengths, offering a compassionate and effective method for decluttering. Reading it, I felt supported and equipped, not judged—a rare find in self-help guides!

I can't say I learned anything new from this book, but I can say that I once paid a therapist a lot of money to tell me the same things. You're not gonna use all 101 tips (we're ADHDers, afterall), but you are going to find something new that helps keep your home cleaner and more organized.

This is one of the first books I’ve read about ADHD that explains many positives of the condition, and how they can counteract difficulties. I loved the 101 tips (covering a variety of areas) for their practicality and uniqueness! A must read for anyone who has ADHD or loves someone with ADHD.

Hey, folks! Ever felt like you’re battling your own brain when it comes to tidying up? Well, The Ultimate ADHD Workbook for Cleaning and Organizing is the sidekick you never knew you needed! This book totally gets the ADHD struggle and flips it on its head, turning your challenges into your biggest assets. Forget feeling guilty about messes; this guide is all about conquering clutter with your unique superpowers. The MAGIC Method? Genius! Plus, those printable checklists and ADHD-friendly hacks? Total lifesavers. So, if you’re looking to kick chaos to the curb and maybe even have some fun doing it, you gotta check this out. Seriously, it’s a no-brainer! 🌟📚✨

i don’t know what to say about this one.
i think there’s some good that can be found in the book but a lot of it relies on almost a toxic positivity version of events. there’s wording like “superpower” which i HATE in reference to neurodivergent behaviors.
i think some may find decent information and it kind of glazes over really good stuff like glimmers, but it’s diluted with things like “listen to music, what about binaural beats?”
it wasn’t for me and i wouldn’t necessarily suggest this to my neurodivergent audience as my first pick for neurodivergent self help books.
all the same, thank you netgalley, and the author marlowe stone for a digital copy in exchange for a review.

I loved the tips and techniques portion. Some I know to use and some I have used and just doing it will help. It kept thins simple and easy and provided the framework for routines to eliminate stress and frustration. Can't wait to implement some of the pointers!

This has some good ideas in it, but it's quite slight and seems to bring in a lot of concepts from other writers without always acknowledging. (The "five kinds of object" I believe is from How to Keep House While Drowning but not attributed?) Some of the lists are confusingly edited or have more than one kind of thing on them (the list of timer apps includes Clocky, which is an object), that kind of thing. In general, I think there are more useful books out there for the same audience.

Also, TWO of the "how to work with your superpowers" ideas are "wear a silly hat to clean!" and come on, yo.

This book is very informative and really interesting for someone with ADHD tendencies. I think I would prefer more images and colour but the ideas and concepts are very good.

To rate this book is very subjective, too much so for my liking. Let me elaborate...

I've suffered from clinically diagnosed, debilitating ADHD for my entire adult life (likely before then too, undiagnosed). You could hand me the perfect, holy grail of ADHD books and if I'm not medicated - it's useless. I'm not a doctor, but my personal experience of vs this book's framing of ADHD are very different. I am in no way saying I don't believe that the author has good intentions and the things outlined will never help; some of these ideas will be implemented into my own routine as early as tomorrow. But again, without medication long enough to get the ball rolling on these changes (at the VERY least) - they're useless.
I don't think authors' underestimation of ADHD is unique to this workbook either, just the <i>idea</i> of the slew of ADHD workbooks out there is ridiculous to me. My struggle with cleaning and organizing is a direct <i>result </i>of the ADHD. So this feels like the ADHD equivalent of telling someone with depression to "just be happy!"

The science is interesting and Ch 2 Identifying Your Kryptonite: ADHD Symptoms and Struggles with Executive Functioning would be helpful for those who didn't already have that knowledge. However, the majority of Ch 4's list of 101 Organizing Hacks weren't new or innovative.

If you already know you're someone who can benefit from these kinds of workbooks, more power to ya. If you're hoping this may be "the things that changes it all", it's not.

{Thank you bunches to NetGalley, Marlowe Stone and publisher for the eARC in exchange for my honest review!}

This book was really practical almost immediately which is awesome. It used a lot of superhero, and what seemed like ADHD internet jargon which was a writing style that didn't resonate with me as much but might resonate more with other people. The tips were really solid through, and grouped by area of the house/method were really good. It was a good balance of high level (ie this is the system to use) and checklists with stuff like 'for the bathroom do X tasks'. I think some of the stuff about brainwaves didn't feel as relevant as the rest of the book. Overall it was a quick and useful read, and I like that the author included printable checklists to help with implementation of the systems.
