    I am so grateful to have this resource. I keep it with my work stuff and it’s helped me so much to flip through a section when I get stuck, or am overwhelmed or am just not doing what I need to do. Dani’s cartoons are fun and the content is well researched and spot on. I’m not diagnosed as ADHD but I have a lot of trouble with attention and focus and this book is helping me keep pace with my coworkers. I’m so grateful I have this and I highly recommend it to anyone who struggles to get their stuff done.

    This book is honestly changing my life. I cried the first time I read through it. Soooo appreciative of this resource and the clearly very hard work Dani did!

    After finally getting diagnosed with Autism in 2020 and ADHD in 2021 I tried various things to help but your book is a game changer. It explains in a way I understand that works as you have been there too. I love it and race about it to everyone having the same issues ????

  4. Dani Croaker (verified owner) –

    This is BRILLIANT! Even in my most cynical, deflated unmotivated state I have found something to help me. I am recommending this to all the ADHD-ers I know!!

  5. Vanessa Marzetz (verified owner) –

    This book is really good, so well done, with lots of details. You can see how much work and passion Dani put in it!

    What I especially like is the examples and “side-notes” in brackets. It is like the book comes to life and becomes my friend to help me out, understand me and is kind to me, even though I am not kind to myself.

    I am in the finishing phase of my PhD (and all these feelings alternate over time, sometimes within a day) and this book as a resources helps me to structure my work, stay focused, and I am less likely to procrastinate.

    Highly recommend it for everyone, especially academics!
