About book Organize Your Mind, Organize Your Life: Train Your Brain To Get More Done In Less Time (2011)
This book is a team authorship of psychologist and life-coach. The psychologist, Paul Hammerness, specializes in patients with ADHD. Since my son has ADHD and I have some ah, characteristics of my own, learning more about the operation of the brain and how emotion and stress affect its function was really helpful. I also thought that the life coach, Margaret Moore, had very realistic suggestions on ways to improve attention and effective time management. For me the funniest moment was a story about a woman who went out to "spend an hour cleaning the garage" and ended up out there all day. Oh boy. I do that kind of thing all the time. I have to set a timer to make myself stop doing things longer than necessary. The garage cleaning activity is actually useful, it's just that it wasn't the only thing she had to do that day. The discussion was about how to prioritize activities and time and how to shift focus when necessary in order to get necessary things done. Highlights: multitasking does not work, sleep is vital to good brain organization, as is exercise and healthy eating habits, it is possible to change ineffective behavior. Highly recommended. “By the time I reached the appendix of Organize Your Mind, Organize Your Life, I was sure the authors wrote this book for me! The Rules of Order are now posted on the ‘frig, near the computer and in my appointment book. “Apply the Brakes” is my new mantra when feeling overwhelmed. For me, this is in the moment meditation that has provided a new way to organize my brain, slow down the anxiety, and better focus on what I’m doing. Highly recommended for anyone who recognizes they need to “tame the fury” of an overactive mind.”

Had a lot of potential, but it was poorly written. The style of the writing was very boring.
