As someone who has been recently diagnosed with ADHD, I have read and listened to every book about the subject there is. It’s rare that I come across new material and useful material at that. The format of this book is very helpful and clear indeed. The concept of skipping ahead to another section if you feel you need support or going to another page entirely if you think you don’t, kept my ADHD brain engaged and focused.

I will keep referring back to this for support as the help sheets seem especially useful. This would make the perfect gift for a friend or a loved one with ADHD.

This book has been a game-changer for me. With ADHD, procrastination has always been a tough cycle to break, but Risa Williams' practical tools and advice have been invaluable. She breaks procrastination down into "macro" and "micro" forms, making it easier to spot my own procrastination cues and get back on track. The interactive worksheets and personalized strategies have helped me work *with* my natural tendencies instead of fighting them, and I’ve felt a huge improvement in my work focus and productivity. Plus, Williams’ approach has really helped me shake off the guilt I used to feel around procrastination. Highly recommended if you’re looking for strategies to work smarter, without the self-judgment!

Do you have tasks that you ignore? Do you lose interest due to the amount of work that needs to be done? Do you get lost in the flow of tasks and struggle to set priorities? I do!

This playbook contains clear recommendations for each trigger. Did I find advice in it that I already knew? Yes. Did I follow it? Yes and no; it didn’t work. But I understood why. The book outlines the reasons why some strategies might not work for you and what actions you need to take to adapt them to your needs.

I like the structure of the book, which includes not only descriptions and exercises but also simple examples.

I recommend it to anyone who needs clear recommendations without fluff and with understandable examples.

Thank you to NetGalley and Jessica Kingsley Publishers for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.

Many thanks to NetGalley, Risa Williams, and Jessica Kingsley Publishers for giving me the opportunity to read an advanced copy of The Procrastination Playbook for Adults with ADHD. This has been a wonderful resource as I am beginning my journey through understanding better how my brain works.

This playbook provides multiple examples of ways to work through episodes of procrastination. I appreciate the explanations of why some will work and not work for certain individuals. I love how this is interactive and has helped me with setting goals and successfully reaching them. I’m in the process of preparing to sell my house and this has been very helpful.

This is an interactive book, so it’s already been a huge help. I read the content and loved it; now I’m doing the suggested exercises. I highly recommend it to all adults who, like me, are extreme procrastinators.
