ABSTRACT

For many adults with ADD, life feels overwhelming and chaotic. Theirhomes are cluttered; laundry and dishes go undone; unread newspapers and magazines pile up. Their cars are cluttered; mobile storage units are filled with a jumble of items-clothes to take to the cleaners, misplaced athletic shoes, and half-eaten, dried-out fast food. Time rushes by and they don’t notice; bills and important paperwork are buried under piles. Their finances are often in overdraft; charge cards are up to their limits; frequent late fees are assessed; tax returns are filed late. When they make an effort to get organized, their clutter seems to magically reappear only minutes after it has been cleared away.
