• With kids: driving them to various activities, grocery shopping and meals, laundry, babysitters, organizing drawers and closets
• And you: organizing time for your social life, gym, and various other hobbies and activities

Color photographs that capture the short attention span of the reader are featured throughout, as well as sidebars and testimonials from adults with ADD, providing numerous organizational tips, such as the importance of dividing time into minutes or moments, task completion, how to avoid procrastination, asking for help, and how not to be a pack rat.
