Acerca de esta escucha

Do you rule the realm of disorganization, clutter, and chaos? Are you constantly battling to get things done? Are you ready to give up and toss your day planner into the dungeon (otherwise known as your closet)? If so, you might just be The Queen of Distraction. And whether or not you've been formally diagnosed with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), you probably already know that something's got to give.

The Queen of Distraction presents practical skills to help women with ADHD achieve focus and balance in all areas of life, whether it's at home, at work, or in relationships. Psychotherapist Terry Matlen delves into the feminine side of ADHD, discussing the elements of this condition that are particular to women, such as relationships, skin sensitivities, meal planning, parenting, and dealing with out-of-control hormones. In addition this audiobook offers helpful tips and strategies to get your symptoms under control and outlines a number of effective treatment options for you to pursue.

Empowering

I found this book very helpful. Terry Mattlen herself has ADHD and has real world tips on how to manage it in every day life. I thought the narrator was excellent as well.

She knows me!

I wish everyone in my family could hear/read this book. It explains things that I didn't know were systems of ADHD that I was chastising myself for.

It is almost like reading a bibliography of myself

It is almost like reading a bibliography of myself. I like that this book relates to women with ADHD. All subtypes are discussed. I wish there was more on the Primarily Inattentive subtype since I thought females generally have that type.
The book offers strategies for organizing your life but sometimes I think that the author forgets that we are ADHD because some of the suggestions require too much organizational thought. I think that if you have a spouse or a non-ADHD person to help you use these suggestions, it would makes sense. I can just see myself getting stuck trying to sort my "to do today" paperwork vs what can "wait until later" pile. I can sort tasks better than paperwork. I think that a lot of us find paperwork much harder to sort out. Some of is that have an OCD personality along with ADHD/executive function issues may find it even more difficult.
I find the narrator easy to listen to even at a faster playback rate. There were a couple areas that skipped like a broken record briefly but it may have been on my device rather than an Audible glitch recording.

Would be better for kindle.

I liked the content although it seemed a bit all over the place. I had desire to skip the entire relationship section it felt out of place. I think it would have read better as a kindl book because of the amount of times a website was listed(could be a drinking game). They probably didn't need to speak out H T T P colon back slash back slash every single time.

This book brings comfort!

While I don't have an official diagnosis, listening to the author describe inattentive adhd made me feel like she was describing my life! The suggestions she offers seem very attainable and offer so much hope for being able to function better in the future. I would love to see more books by this author which dive into the variety of topics even deeper! This book is ideal for newly diagnosed, and those who have just realized that adhd is the reason for their lifelong struggles. It is definitely worth the price!

Life Hacks

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I would recommend this book because there are plenty of good "take-aways", but I don't know that I'd limit the audience to those suffering from ADHD. Many of these issues are merely time management suggestions.

Would you ever listen to anything by Terry Matlen MSW again?

Perhaps. There was not much riveting content except for the scientific background behind ADHD and the different types.

What three words best describe Randye Kaye’s voice?

No real opinion here. She was okay.

Could you see The Queen of Distraction being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Not at all applicable.
