I borrowed this book thanks to my Kindle Unlimited subscription that I share with my girlfriend, and I read it on my tablet using the Kindle app.
There are tons of books that explain what ADHD is and how to work with it, so then, what’s the main reason to give this book a chance? The main reason is that this book does not focus on explaining what ADHD is—it assumes you already know that. Instead, it provides a large number of exercises (thirty, to be precise) to help manage it.
All the exercises are divided into three different levels (ten exercises per level). First, you work on building awareness of your own behaviors. Then, the exercises focus on learning how to manage time and emotions. Lastly, the final level focuses on refining the skills taught in the previous levels.
Although it’s a great book of exercises for people with ADHD, I also found the second and third levels very useful for anyone looking to improve time-management techniques—whether they have ADHD or not.
An unusual way to discuss ADHD and help those who have it. The book breaks down into three parts with exercises that increase awareness of the main issues. Part I has exercises like using an impulse scale, check in with a wheel of emotions, habit observations and tracking, assessing interruptions and strategies to correct. It’s an ingenious way to highlight the struggles of those with ADHD. Part II is exercises to learn different approaches;my favorite ones are reorganizing time, impulsivity traffic light, creating a checklist of steps and the Pomodoro technique. Blocking distractions and stress management are emphasized. Part III gets into longer term exercises to strengthen control over the ADHD condition, based on lessons learned in prior exercises and regular monitoring. Cautions about multitasking and creating distraction free zones are given. These exercises are good, a novel way to help those with ADHD struggles.
I struggle with my ADHD so I got this book of exercises. There are 30 exercises presented here. The author presents an exercise and first explains what the goal of the exercise is (ex. Planning for the future). Then the author explains why that exercise is important. This is so important for people with ADHD. We need to know the why behind the things we are asked to do. Then the author provides step by step directions to complete the exercise. The 30 exercises cover topics like focus, curbing impulses, and learning to regulate feelings. I loved this book and found it beneficial.
Each of the 30 exercises is short, structured, and easy to follow—perfect for those who struggle with consistency or motivation. The book combines psychology, mindfulness, and behavior training in a way that feels both professional and compassionate. Exercises like “The Five-Minute Reset,” “Task Chunking Power,” and “Focus Through Movement” are immediately usable, even for busy readers.
