"Order from Chaos feels like sitting down with a good
friend, an honest friend, who is a little further down the road of
learning how to tackle and subdue the daily chaos of living with
ADHD. If there were an ADHD self-help book group, I'd nominate this
book to be at the top of the reading list."
-- Kathleen Nadeau, Ph.D., internationally recognized authority on
ADHD and co-author of ADD-Friendly Ways to Organize Your
Life"This is no ordinary "get organized" book. In Order
from Chaos, Jaclyn Paul seamlessly and engagingly weaves
first-person storytelling with expert knowledge. I value Jaclyn's
words because they always reflect careful thought -- whether in
this book or on her ADHD Homestead blog. She is a
first-rate learner and a teacher. I encourage you to reap the
benefits of her hard-won wisdom."
-- Gina Pera, adult ADHD educator and award-winning author of
Is It You, Me, or Adult ADD?My favorite thing about Jaclyn
is her ability to articulate the frustrations of life with ADHD. I
always refer people to her website and now when someone asks about
organization, I will direct them to this book. In Order from
Chaos Jaclyn takes a very challenging topic and makes it
accessible for those of us who struggle with executive
functioning.
-- Liz Lewis, The ADHD Enclave"One of the best things
about this book is that it takes concepts from a variety of
organisational systems and weaves them together in a way that is
wholly clear-eyed about how you can and do manage yourself already.
It's not asking you to transform yourself into an organising
superhero (whew) but rather to understand how you and your
household function, and then to design working systems around that.
It is a kind and sensible philosophy."
-- reader review (excerpt)"I've taken away a whole new set of
organizational tools; some of which I have heard before but never
really saw how they could work in a real life setting, some totally
new. More importantly, I've come away with several revelations
about how / why I have never been able to get organized in certain
ways and several fresh alternatives to try."
-- reader review (excerpt)"This book answered so many questions I
had as to why I could never seem to get myself in gear and be
organized enough to execute all the flowery ideals you see on
Pinterest, etc. This book is recommended reading for anyone [with]
ADHD and especially if you are Head of Household. It's not a book:
it's a survival guide!"
