N2 - Studies in personal information management (PIM) have primarily examined PIM behavior as an individual activity. In this paper, we discuss social dimensions of PIM, more specifically, socially derived PIM activities. The biggest challenge adults with Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD) face is managing information and tasks. Accordingly, online forums for sharing PIM strategies is a wide spread practice among many individuals with AD/HD. Those that are not engaged in online forums are also found to often rely on social resources in forming PIM strategies. We discuss social dimensions of PIM emerged from our 16 interviews with adults with AD/HD and coaches of AD/HD. Our findings provide a good starting point towards understanding the social, adaptive and evolutionary nature of PIM practices, which would later inform design implications.
