I'm reading Organizing Solutions for People with ADHD by Susan Pinksky and it is full of helpful advice and useful tips. But I don't like to hear the truth sometimes.

The actual quote from the book is "If you are purchasing items for a project, pause to put the date you will DO the project on your calendar (preferably within the week). If the project doesn't get done, reschedule it so those supplies stay on your radar.... We should only buy items for which we have an imminent plan or need."

Never before have I been so offended by something I really needed to hear.

I was so offended and upset I made a meme and posted it here. Really got under my skin.

The four piles of things for unfinished projects from the last month that I can see from my desk are contributing to this feeling of being attacked.

I, too, immediately looked at my piles (plural) of unfinished (some, barely started) projects...

A jack of all trades, is a master of none (but is much better than a master of one). At least we're learning a lot as we go through life. That has to amount to something, right? ... right??

Thanks for the recommend. My library has it, so I've added it to my tbr.

My sister recommended it after I got her to read How To Keep House While Drowning, which I saw recommended on this sub a few weeks ago. Both are great!
