Holt provides field-tested techniques for handling aspects of daily living that can, quite frankly, drive you nuts. He offers suggestions on such tasks as organizing documents, to-do lists, electronics accessories, handling money, avoiding morning stress, and more. He discusses the need to establish a bedtime ritual, the (negative) effects of social networks and, my favorite, why you should take a nap each day.
Holt's book is written in a deceptively simple ADHD style: the suggestions are easy to understand (no need for lengthy rumination) and to the point. At times you think he's sitting next to you, offering suggestions. In the chapter on how to avoid morning stress he writes "I'm not trying to sound like a strict stepmother, but TV in the morning does not help. Watching TV while you're having breakfast is not only unhealthy, it also takes more time and does not promote family bonding. Just leave the TV off; you'll catch the news later." For the paperwork-challenged (the very definition of ADHD!), he suggests using colored folders based on a color scheme that assigns a meaning to each color. But Holt warns that using more than five different colors increases the likelihood that you'll forget the meaning of each color. The color coding doesn't have to end with the use of file folders. Holt has an open-shelved filing cabinet (available at your friendly Ikea store) for which he purchased colored fabric boxes (also from Ikea) for the open shelves. Particular items are "assigned" to particular colors/boxes. Color coding also works in the virtual world. Software applications, such as Microsoft Outlook and Google Mail (Gmail), allow you to color code your emails so that, for example, priority emails may have their subject line in red.
Like all books that offer suggestions for the ADHDer, some suggestions may not be applicable to your lifestyle ("Do I really need a Leatherman tool?") and some you may not agree with at all ("I won't replace my physical books with e-book versions...I like taking a pen and scribbling in the margins of a book"). Still, there are so many good ideas on reducing clutter, creating organization, using various types of to-do lists and more, that you're bound to find a dozen or more suggestions that will fit your lifestyle and that you'll want to incorporate into your daily life to minimize the effects of your own ADHD.
