The inattention, time-mismanagement, procrastination, impulsivity, distractibility, and difficulty with transitions that often go hand-in-hand with ADHD can be overcome with the unique approach that Nancy Ratey brings to turning these behaviors around. The Disorganized Mind addresses the common issues confronted by the ADHD adult: “Where did the time go?” “I’ll do it later, I always work better under pressure anyway.” “I’ll just check my e-mail one more time before the meeting…” “I’ll pay the bills tomorrow – that will give me time to find them.” Professional ADHD coach and expert Nancy Ratey helps readers better understand why their ADHD is getting in their way and what they can do about it. Nancy Ratey understands the challenges faced by adults with ADHD from both a personal and professional perspective and is able to help anyone move forward to achieve greater success. Many individuals with ADHD live in turmoil. It doesn’t have to be that way. You can make choices and imagine how things can change – this book will teach you how. By using ADHD strategies that have worked for others and will work for you, as well as learning how to organize, plan, and prioritize, you’ll clear the hurdles of daily living with a confidence and success you may never before have dreamed possible. Nancy Ratey has the proven strategies that will help anyone with ADHD get focused, stay on track, and get things done - and finally get what they want from their work and their life.

 Rating: - Phenomenal Book for dealing with ADD/ADHD! YAY!I bought this book because I was hoping that it would provide me with the necessary tools to calm my otherwise disorganized ADD mind. The book description on Amazon seemed to fit my situation perfectly, and I impulsively bought the book here on eBay. I thought that in a worst case scenario, I may pick up a tool or 2 that would help me somehow. My best case scenario of actually being able to USE the information was what I was shooting for. Imagine my pleasant surprise when I received ... Read More Rating: - Nancy Ratey Gets ItThere are plenty of books about ADHD (although not enough for adults) and some are better than others. This is definitely one of the better ones. Nancy has been in the ADHD trenches for a long time and it shows. She understands ADHD through and through. She offers plenty of strategies and helps her readers really understand the many facets of ADHD. Some books are too simplistic or talk about things that are simply not accurate. It's clear that Nancy has a sophisticated understanding of this complex ... Read More Rating: - Medical Student with ADHDWhat a unique "self-help" book for individuals with ADHD. Many collections are written as a laundry list of suggestions that are clearly unrealistic, especially for individuals with ADHD. Nancy Ratey has not given any suggestions at all per se; rather, she merely shares with us her victorious story of courage, strength, and hope. With Nancy's perspective I was given piece of mind by knowing we do not have to make this journey alone. Prior to reading this book I had never considered ... Read More Rating:  - A great addition to one's half-read ADHD book collectionI found JackofMostTrades' review reasonable. Perhaps if he gave it one star, one might consider bias - but three stars for this book is very reasonable. I did have trouble finishing it - I guess I'm one of those that got bored half-way through. (Although for the sake of this review I have skimmed the rest) Personally I think everyone with ADD/ADHD should read the book, "A Perfect Mess." Guess what, being somewhat messy can actually be MORE efficient and productive than being a neat-nik. This understanding ... Read More Rating: - GREAT BOOK - DOWN TO EARTH RECOMMENDATIONSI have just completed reading Ms. Ratey's book and thoroughly enjoyed. She uses her personal experience in conveying her message. I have worked in the mental health field for 30 years and feel that this book is an invaluable resource for professionals who deal with these types of challenges on a daily basis! Kudos to Ms Ratey. I'm waiting for Volume 2!! ThanksThe Disorganized Mind: Coaching Your ADHD Brain to Take Control of Your Time, Tasks, and Talents
