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 book offers helpful tips and strategies to get your symptoms under control and outlines a number of effective treatment options for you to pursue.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5When working with people whose problem is distraction, telling slow, drawn-out stories of a single individual... it’s... painful as hell. More than half of the book is just telling individual stories, then a summary of the experience and its relation to ADD. I did not feel any sense of help or guidance.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5This reads like an infomercial.
The narration has that phony tone and sustained enthusiasm generally reserved for semi-hyperbolic sales pitches, and there's a smug insincerity to the text.
I couldn't put it down fast enough. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a really great book. I learned some things about ADHD that I was not aware of before reading this book. I can now see how having ADHD can be extremely frustrating as an adult as well as a child. There are some great tips to help someone with ADHD become more organized. Some of the tips are useful whether you have ADHD or not. Great read.
