ADD and Disorganization
If you have ADD, you may have had difficulty with getting and staying organized. In fact, many chronically disorganized people are also living with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). The symptoms that often characterize ADD, like inattention, impulsivity, difficulty with memory and sustained effort, and difficulty monitoring self-regulated action, certainly lend themselves to a difficulty in getting and staying organized.
Janine has studied ADD as it relates to chronic disorganization through the Institute for Challenging Disorganization (formerly NSGCD). She’s earned her Level I certificate of study in Basic ADD Issues for the Chronically Disorganized Client, as well as the Level II ADD Specialist Certificate (she took a dozen ADD-related teleclasses and passed an exam to earn these two certificates). In addition, ADD organizing and ADD coaching were the focus of of the nine-week Coach Approach for Organizers telecourse she took in 2007 with Denslow Brown and Cameron Gott. (See the coaching page for more information on her coaching training.)
Through her training and education, Janine has learned about the special challenges of having ADD and has learned methods for helping her ADD clients by coming up with systems that work best for them.
