This is a great resource, which gives practical suggestions to help you become more organized. I look forward to trying out some of the suggestions and work through some of the activities to get my work and life more organized. Most of the suggestions are obvious, but seeing them together and described in the book's way, it makes more sense and allows the reader to pick and choose the best methods for themselves.

I am someone who is pretty organised, but being so is definitely an effort due to my neurodivergence and I am always looking for tips and advice on better, easier ways to be organised, whilst reducing stress and mental load. This book contained a lot of advice that I already follow, but which would be helpful to someone who has previously been disorganised and is trying to get themselves out of chaos - but I also found several nuggets of gold that will be very helpful to me.

A surprisingly concise and dense book on organization, lots of application suggestions with little space spent on "explaining" why it's hard to be organized and productive. I've heard all those things multiple times over, so it was nice to just get a book on advice + actions to take. Audiobook is dated 2018 so some of the tech suggestions are slightly outdated.

Alıştırmalarla desteklenen öneriler oldukça faydalı olmuş. Adhd gibi bir nöroçeşitliliğe sahip insanların tüm önerileri gerçekleştirmesi mümkün değil ama en azından faydası olacak notlar almam iyi oluyor

Honest and in-depth advice for reaching your full potential. This advice is presented in easy to follow language that can be broken up and applied in pieces at a time.

This is an excellent read for those who need to the point, straight forward ideas on how to get organized. The information is useful and practical.

I am the most disorganised person in the world but I'm hoping that if I continue to take advice from this book then thst will soon change!

A very good book, full of ideas and advice. I think it's always great to learn something new to apply to our everyday and work life.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
