Highly Effective Time Management Book for ADHD Adults
As a writer’s coach working with professors who have ADHD and struggle to write, I can’t recommend this book highly enough! It offers practical, well-thought-out strategies tailored to the unique challenges faced by adults with ADHD. The tools and methods are not only realistic but also empowering.One of my favorite aspects is the free downloadable templates—they’re incredibly useful for creating structure and staying on track. I’m using this book alongside my own writing productivity materials for clients who need extra help managing their time effectively.This resource has made a noticeable difference for my clients, and I can see its value for anyone juggling responsibilities while working on writing projects. I’m also using it for my neurodiverse kids (in adapted form). Highly recommend!
Time really can become your friend, not your enemy…
As an ongoing student of maximising productivity and self-leadership, both personally and professionally, I highly recommend adding this Toolkit to your library, and GIVE COPIES TO YOUR TEAMS! But more than just reading it, engage with the worksheets.The book is laid out well and easy to digest, packed with practical tools and a mix of helpful diagrams, and those worksheets I’ve already mentioned! (Don’t be put off by the idea of worksheets, these are a great prompt to jot down ideas and things you want to try…this is the first step to taking action and using the tools in a way that will help YOU).I’ve started to use the Brain Warm-up tool and seen an immediate benefit on focused activities. The Task Intensity Meter also helps me to plan what activities I do near each other, and which ones I space out more. Then there’s the Task Dessert and…You’re bound to find a bunch of tools you pick up and use straightaway, and others will be to hand when you need them.
Why do you write like you’re running out of time?
As a student, then as a teacher (briefly), and now as a publishing professional, time management has always been essential to me, juggling personal, academic, and then professional commitments. Managing the tension between my MPhil studies and the part-time job that paid for them was my first real dilemma, and then teaching is a constant time management struggle. In many ways, getting a 9-5 office job was liberating: I’d learned a huge amount about time management from teaching, and selling advertising kind of dictated my priorities – you made sales calls while people tended to be at their desks, and then did the admin when they were likely to be away from their desk. I thought I was sorted.But then I started taking my writing more seriously, and I started acting in community theatre groups, and things began to get a lot more complex. I began to feel that I never quite had enough time in the day to do the things I wanted, and my life now feels like a constant struggle to balance work, “paying hobbies”, my personal life and social commitments, all while avoiding burnout. It’s led to insane periods in my life where I’m rehearsing three plays at once all while working a 40 hour week, and trying to meet a short story competition deadline, and then friends get offended when I try and duck out of a party invitation. Because I don’t like offending people, I am very bad at saying no to things. When I started self-publishing, where I do my own formatting, often design my own covers AND record my own audiobooks, not to mention the marketing side, I crossed an event horizon of constant stress and panic. I don’t even know what to do with free time when I have it these days.Gosh that’s a lengthy intro. Suffice it to say that The Ultimate Time Management Toolkit could have been designed for me. Written to help people with ADHD, anxiety disorders and CHRONICALLY BUSY PEOPLE – which was the term where I recognised myself most clearly. Risa Williams has put together 25 tools to help people think about their relationship to time and the tasks they feel they have to achieve.This 200 page book is a pleasure to read, text nicely spaced out, with fun illustrations, lively terminology like the “task-intensity metre” and “the frustration surfboard”, and worksheets that include colouring exercises, etc, but the fun is clearly underpinned by the author’s expertise as a therapist, and backed up by copious citations and a substantial bibliography.If you can carve out the time to read this book, and spend some time with the tools, exercises, and worksheets contained therein, then I can’t promise that all your piles of busyness will suddenly melt away, but there are some great techniques for changing how we think about our tasks and to-do lists. It’s certainly helped me think seriously about how I approach my day, whether I’m working from home or going into the office. I used to think I was good at time management, but then the world changed, and this book feels like a tool that will help me to get on top of things again.
My favorite tools from this book:- Task Dessert, because it’s something I sort of did already but it’s neat to read it explained so well; also, associating a tool with deliciousness is inspired!- Separating the Weekly Post-It (a few things you need to do) from The Odds & Ends List (a bunch of nice-to-haves) was a really useful new concept for me, which I’m totally using now;- The Gear Shifter, which is cool because it brings together some of the other tools and shows how to fine tune them as you go;- Microthoughts, which are like little recurring cues for keeping you on track.Overall I love this book because it doesn’t hit you over the head or browbeat you. It’s chock-full of positive, helpful and non-overwhelming tips. I have kind of a stubborn donkey brain, which resists being preached at. This book works for me because it uses gentle, loving, and slightly silly nudges to help me get unstuck 🙂
This is a book that will benefit just about everyone who picks it up. If you have ever felt exhausted, frustrated or overwhelmed ( and who hasn’t) this book is especially useful. It helps you not only navigate your life – it also brings you to an acceptance of your self and your own challenges as you flow into greater mindfulness and develop tools for managing your daily life in a very fulfilling and productive way. I especially like the”task intensity meter” which opened my mind to a new way of perceiving my relationship with my own energy and the various ways it could get blocked. Just reading the book made me feel kinder to myself. Goal setting is now a delight instead of a struggle. I now relish the feeling of achieving micro goals daily, something I never took the time to acknowledge before. In fact just reading this book puts you into a happy state of mind whether you choose to use the tools in your own way or not. And the tools feel natural to use. And fun!
I’m happy I found it.. or it found me.(:
So far Risa’s time management book has helped me work smarter not harder and to my pleasant surprise I get more done! Highly recommend!
This book has been very helpful to me in getting my “head around” how to better organize my time. Since I now work at home AND manage the house and kids, things can sometimes seem too fluid. There are so many concepts in he book that are kind of unconsciously obvious, but somehow reading it and intentionally implementing it has been very helpful. I also appreciate that she provides evidence based examples! I am only two weeks into my “new time planning routine” but I definitely feel more organized and more productive!
