Imagine an ADHD toolkit filled with tried-and-true skills that empower you to be more focused and productive--and to "hack" daily life so your strengths can shine. That's exactly what expert therapist Laura E. Knouse and preeminent authority Russell A. Barkley offer in this friendly guide. In short, engaging chapters, you get a menu of science-based strategies and resources for getting organized, completing tasks from start to finish, managing time, regulating your emotions and impulses, and addressing common relationship problems faced by adults with ADHD. Drs. Knouse and Barkley share ideas you can use every day, complete with checklists, self-coaching tips, helpful links, and downloadable forms.
