too much imagery  
I just couldn't get into the imagery in my mind of an organized space. I was looking for something with ideas on how I could work with my ADD, this wasn't it.

Some good ideas......  
What I took away from this is the power of visualization and developing visual memory as an another tool. I didn't however finish the four week program. Part of this, sure, is ADD, but part of it was the excruciatingly slow pace at which it progressed. When I have a desk full of bills to pay, I don't like directions to "spend no more than 10 minutes on your desk today." It just doesn't fly. To be fair, this would probably be a great book for someone who had no organizational systems in place, was completely overwhelmed, and had no idea where or how to start. I know there's many out there like that. I do have a system of sorts, so this wasn't a good fit for me. If you have ADD and have no clue where to start, by all means try it!

Great information  
I bought this for my son and his wife, but read quite a bit of it myself. I was impressed with the information on just how AD/HD works in the brain. It cleared up a lot of questions for me. I think it will be helpful to them as well.

4 weeks to an organized life with ad/hd  
having been diagnosed with ad/hd a little over a year ago, i have been reading extensively on the subject. this book is by far the best i've read. it is informative, compassionate and practical. it reads as though the authors have a window into my head and my life. the description of the problem and the strategies for dealing with it are very helpful. i would reccomend it enthusiastically to anyone interested in the field and especially to those coping with ad/hd. sincerely, conny m.

Three Cheers for 4 weeks  

This is a must have if you either have ADD or treat others that have ADD!
I am a Clinical Social Worker that has been treating patients with ADD for almost a decade and I actually learned some new techniques from this book. I have recommended it to most of my patients and they really like it!
The begining chapters provide a clear understanding of the nuances of adult ADD in a easy to read and enjoyable fashion using case examples. The organizing portion is written in the same easy fun style with headlines and "Activity" sections. Working the activities are quick and interesting building on strengths of the ADD mind. This book is easily worth the money. Also a great Holiday gift for a good friend or family member.
