Why Do I Seem Put Together But Feel Totally Disorganized With ADHD?

This book, first published in 1989, outlines seven habits that are designed to help individuals become more effective in their personal and professional lives. The habits are grouped into three categories: Private Victory (habits 1-3), Public Victory (habits 4-6), and Renewal (habit 7). The habits include being proactive, beginning with the end in mind, putting first things first, thinking win-win, seeking first to understand and then to be understood, synergizing, and sharpening the saw. Covey emphasizes the importance of personal integrity, effective time management, empathetic communication, and continuous self-improvement.

In 'Mini Habits: Smaller Habits, Bigger Results,' Stephen Guise introduces a unique approach to building healthy habits. The book advocates for starting with 'stupid small' steps that are too easy to fail, thereby leveraging the brain's natural tendency to form habits through repetition. Guise explains that by focusing on small daily actions, individuals can bypass the limitations of motivation and willpower, leading to significant and lasting changes in areas such as exercise, reading, writing, and more. The book provides practical advice on how to implement these mini habits, including defining habit cues, creating reward plans, and writing down goals.

Getting Things Done (GTD) is a personal productivity system developed by David Allen. The book provides a detailed methodology for managing tasks, projects, and information, emphasizing the importance of capturing all tasks and ideas, clarifying their meaning, organizing them into actionable lists, reviewing the system regularly, and engaging in the tasks. The GTD method is designed to reduce stress and increase productivity by externalizing tasks and using a trusted system to manage them. The book is divided into three parts, covering the overview of the system, its implementation, and the deeper benefits of integrating GTD into one's work and life.
