These proven gems of wisdom, submitted by hundreds of women with AD/HD from all over the world, will help the reader painlessly get through the piles of laundry on her floor and stacks of paper on her desk.

However if you are a male don't let the title stop you completely as some of the ideas in this would be very helpful to you too!!!!
