Overview

It took 40,000 client hours to write a book that offers real strategies for how people with ADHD can get more done. Most adults with ADHD wish they were more productive. And consistent. And on time. Most of the advice on living with ADHD involves some aspect of productivity. However, because people are complicated and life is varied, too often that advice falls flat. The ADHD Productivity Manual goes both deeper and wider and covers thirty-six areas that influence productivity for people with ADHD. Each of these chapters is short, action-oriented, and grounded in twenty-five years of clinical experience. And, because doing is better than reading, each chapter ends with thought-provoking questions to help you immediately apply new strategies. The thirty-six chapters are broken into seven sections: Why Does ADHD Make Productivity Harder? - Knowledge is power, but so is acceptance. Set a Better Foundation - Life is hard enough, so make some things easier. What Are You Working Towards? - Hint: a meaningful life that you can feel good in. Set Up a Good Work Environment - So your brain doesn't have to work as hard. Sharpen Your Tools - How to not hate schedules, to do lists, and reminders. Productivity is a Mental Game - Flex those motivation muscles even when you don't want to. The Social Side of Productivity - Play well with others, but also know when it isn't your problem to solve. This book will be devoured by adults with ADHD and anyone who treats, coaches, organizes, teaches, or loves them. Illustrations by Marcy Caldwell, PsyD add to the playful, compassionate tone and complement the many, many strategies. The ADHD Productivity Manual brings together the wisdom of twenty-five years of psychology practice, seven-hundred-fifty presentations and podcast interviews, and ten years as a co-chair of one of the biggest ADHD conferences in the world.

I'm a season ticket holder for all things produced by Ari Tuckman. His masterful new book, The ADHD Productivity Manual, is his best work yet. In an ADHD-friendly manner, Dr. Tuckman has crystallized what you need to know and more importantly do and how to do it in this incomparable guide for living well with ADHD. This book will undoubtedly improve lives, including yours! - J. Russell Ramsay, Ph.D., ABPP, psychologist and author of The Adult ADHD Toolkit, Rethinking Adult ADHD Ari Tuckman has done it again. The ADHD Productivity Manual is practical, empowering, and refreshingly honest. He gives ADHD adults exactly what we need: zero BS strategies and deep respect. The reflection questions at the end of each chapter invite real transformation. This book will help you be more productive - but more importantly, it'll help you live a good life. - Kristen Carder, Certified Coach, Host of the I Have ADHD Podcast, Founder of FOCUSED ADHD Coaching This is the closest thing I've seen to a comprehensive owner's manual for your ADHD brain. And like a good owner's manual, it's compact, to-the-point, and full of actionable 'troubleshooting' prompts/solutions. Use it as a step-by-step guide, or as an a la carte menu depending on your particular challenge du jour. Either way, one of the best minds in the ADHD solutions arena has provided perhaps the ultimate roadmap to more traction and less frustration in your ADHD life. - Alan P. Brown, ADHD Coach and Creator of ADD Crusher(TM) Ari Tuckman has done it again! With his trademark humor and compassionate candor, Ari walks us through our ADHD struggles with wisdom and grace, uplifting us with this inspiring, powerful, and practical guide to our own success. - Nachi Felt, PhD, Adjunct Professor of Psychology and Education, Co-Director of the Cognition and Neuroscience Lab at Teachers College, Columbia University Ari Tuckman PsyD gets it. In The ADHD Productivity Manual, he delivers the perfect mix of validation, insight, and practical tools for people with ADHD who want to get things done-and feel good about themselves in the process. Dr. Tuckman's humor, honesty, and deep clinical experience shine through in every chapter. This isn't just a book about productivity-it's a guide to building a better life with ADHD, one doable step at a time. - Stephanie Moulton Sarkis, PhD, author and psychotherapist www.stephaniesarkis.com The search is over for a hands-on, practical, compassionate guide on increasing productivity for individuals (like myself) living with ADHD. Many workbooks out there talk the talk but Dr. Ari Tuckman actually delivers, to an audience he has advocated for and treated for over 25 years! He takes the common obstacles and overwhelming challenges those with ADHD know all too well and makes it less scary and, dare I say it, even fun to tackle. He possesses a wealth of information and more importantly translates that knowledge into strategies that someone with ADHD would realistically use. The tone of the book, like Dr. Tuckman, is educative, validating and encouraging-with a sense of humor sprinkled throughout the pages. - Roberto Olivardia, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist, Lecturer in the Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School. Imagine managing your life -- seriously, handling all the necessary details -- without falling into a constant ADHD shame cycle? Tuckman's ADHD Productivity Manual strikes a balance so you can manage your mindset to get things done! - Elaine Taylor-Klaus, MCC, CEO ImpactParents.com, Author of The Essential Guide to Raising Complex Kids with ADHD, anxiety, and More
