Wow, what a book! “The look of it. The smell of it. The texture.” (Goldmember from Austin Powers III)
I loved the awesome structure and the fact that writing over the pages is recommended; I’ll break out the coloured pencils/pens etc. when time allows.
Using the “what’s my state/problem/anxiety?” -> “Here, try this …” approach, I can happily report that it got me through a rough couple of weeks coming up to a project deliverable. Realising I was “stuck” because I was also being “perfectionistic” I quickly found the “How to half-a**e it” and the “Timer Challenge” tactics. In the 3 hours before a team meeting for discussing a draft presentation. I settled for the Timer Challenge, allowing me to have chicken scratchings to discuss across all the slides rather than one incomplete slide that was getting polished.
My impulsivity had me get both the pdf bundle and the book, I’m happy about that decision though would argue that the book is worth waiting for, getting the shrink wrap off and having a Proustian moment bringing me back to the smell of arts classes at school was a thing (for me anyways, we’re all different and experiences may vary depending on your disposition) Since getting the book, I’ve also drafted my own “timer challenge template” in google docs, so that I can just type things in (happy to share if the author allows).

It works as intended – even when I forget about it for weeks at a time. XD
This book helped me self-manage without medication, and pushed me to seek an official diagnosis. Now that I’m medicated, its activities still help me A LOT. The Overwhelmed tab, especially, has been a life-saver.
I would recommend this book to anybody struggling with self-starting, self-motivating, getting organized, or just feeling like a capable adult person when their executive function won’t cooperate.
Dani Donovan, thank you so much for putting together this veritable pot of gold!
