In recent years, there has been a lot of public and scientific interest in Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), and yet many people are still not sure what exactly ADD is or how it affects those who live with it. It is estimated that 3 to 5% of the population displays significant traits of ADD, and yet as many as 1 in 8 people with ADD may be undiagnosed and unsure why their brains seem to work differently than others’.
Clients with ADD may have particular issues getting and staying organized, and face specific challenges in the organizing process. As a Professional Organizer, being able to identify and address these issues can be of great benefit both to you and your clients.
In the next A Red Bench teleclass on Wednesday, June 15th, Angela will interview Professional Organizer and ADD Coach Denslow Brown of The Coach Approach for Organizers.

When I got started as a Professional Organizer, I wanted to be sure I knew what I was doing and stood out as someone who was serious about my new profession. The first thing I did was to sign up for a five-day training with Marla Dee of Clear & SIMPLE, a program I’d absolutely recommend to anyone new to Professional Organizing.

Nancy will discuss and answer questions regarding the unique opportunities and challenges of working with elder clients. She will address the post-war mindset of those who grew up in The Depression, the resulting neural networks, and how those influence the process of organizing, right-sizing, and divesting of life’s treasures at a time in life where priorities and physical demands may be shifting.

Do you frequently think that there just aren’t enough hours in the day to achieve your goals? Do you feel that you spend a lot of time doing things you have to do rather than those you want to do?

The overall goals of this series include: connecting you to your values as a way to make conscious choices about how you spend your time, helping you focus your time and attention on the people and activities that matter most, and reducing stress by better organizing your time. Part 1 will focus on ‘defeating self-defeating behaviors’ including managing interruptions, reducing multi-tasking, and overcoming procrastination.
