Can’t Live Without Them Resources
Women’s AD/HD Self-Assessment Symptom Inventory (SASI)
by Kathleen Nadeau, Ph.D. and Patricia Quinn, M.D.
(This scale should not be used for diagnostic purposes. Instead, results should be considered as part of a structured interview, and used in conjunction with diagnostic testing when evaluating women for possible AD/HD.)

Trek Desk
Coach while you walk on your treadmill! Great exercise – no more sitting at your desk! I own the Walk ‘N Work which was available last year, but I like the functionality of the TrekDesk even better. It wraps around to give even more desk space for my “stuff.” Available at Amazon.com.
Brother Labeler
There is nothing, absolutely NOTHING that has helped me get and STAY organized like this labeler (bless you Erica the organizer for introducing me to it). Over the past 5 years, I have learned to label everything from file folders (obvious) to light switches (not so obvious) to my FOFA (see above).
The reason this is such a breakthrough for me is that 1) my handwriting sucks and even I can’t read it; 2) labels allow my brain to NOT memorize trivia and let me read it instead; and 3) the labels are usually repositionable so I can move them when I need to fine tune my system.
People have told me that they just use pieces of masking tape and write on them but that doesn’t work for me because of my handwriting, but also because my perfectionist side wants uniformity in my labels. If they are different sizes and colors and ink is different, my ADD brain will get sidetracked trying to figure it out again. Then, what’s the point?
A side note: the labeler itself isn’t too expensive (Available at Amazon) — usually even a fabulous one that hooks to your computer is about $70 – $100 – often much less when at Costco or another discount store. BUT the labels are terribly expensive…like $20 a roll. So I order mine online from Costco where they are a mere $10 a roll — four to a package. The T3 is the one I use most — 1/2 inch.
