Summary
How about we have some fun this year for ADHD Awareness Month! So I thought, why not start a BOOK CLUB?! I'll be hosting the first ever Organize 365® Book Club that will feature my book, How ADHD Affects Home Organization.
I'm not a psychologist or a doctor, I'm just a former teacher turned stay-at-home-mom that has taught and parented children with ADHD - and I was diagnosed with ADHD in October of last year. I want to use my teaching and organization skills to support any executive function deficits and how they show up in home organization.
There are 8 executive functions, and I cover 6 of them in the book. I think about how these executive functions play out in American homes, and what I would put into place in your home to mitigate any deficiencies. Don't ever think anyone has a perfect executive function profile - no one does! Figuring out which of the executive functions that need the most support is half the battle!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Organize 365 Coffee Chat. |
| 0:09.6 | These coffee chats pop up when I have something fun or important to share with you about |
| 0:14.6 | what is going on at the Organize 365 company. |
| 0:19.0 | Coffee chats share time-sensitive information, so when the coffee has gone cold and the |
| 0:24.8 | information is no longer relevant, these episodes will disappear from your podcast. |
| 0:29.9 | Keeping the Organize 365 podcast feed current and relevant, I think our coffee is ready. |
| 0:39.9 | October is 80 HD Awareness Month, and I thought this year for fun we could have a book club. |
| 0:51.9 | I mean a book club would be fun, right, like how do we have a book club all of us together? |
| 0:57.9 | Here are my ideas. |
| 0:59.9 | Back in 2016, I wrote a book called How ADHD Effects Home Organization. |
| 1:05.9 | I'm not a psychologist, I'm not a doctor, I'm just a former teacher, a stay-at-home mom, |
| 1:12.9 | now business owner who has had a lot of experience with ADHD. |
| 1:16.9 | Both as a teacher, as a parent of kids that were diagnosed with ADHD, and now myself. |
| 1:22.9 | I guess I've been diagnosed now myself as having ADHD. |
| 1:25.9 | I don't know how to diagnose people, I don't know about medication, I don't know about any of those things. |
| 1:30.9 | But what I do know is how ADHD plays out at home in your home organization. |
| 1:39.9 | So taking my teacher skills that I employed in the schools and what we do with kids when they're diagnosed with ADHD in our classrooms is we chunk things |
| 1:50.9 | and we create schedules and structure and build-in systems and routines in organization to support students' executive function. |
| 1:59.9 | Now real quick, I just want to say that executive function and ADHD often go together but they don't have to go together. |
| 2:07.9 | You can have ADHD and not have any deficits in your executive function and you can have deficits in your executive function and not be diagnosed with ADHD. |
| 2:17.9 | But they overlap a lot, a lot, a lot. |
| 2:21.9 | And so how ADHD affects home organization looks at our executive function. |
