“I said: what about my eyes?
He said: Keep them on the road.

I said: What about my passion?
He said: Keep it burning.

I said: What about my heart?
He said: Tell me what you hold inside it?

I said: Pain and sorrow.
He said: Stay with it. The wound is the place where the Light enters you.”
Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi

Quotes by Terry Matlen  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Being overwhelmed can lead to procrastination, which often leads to being chronically late for deadlines and appointments. Being chronically late can take a toll on your self-esteem and damage your relationships. You’ve probably heard your whole life that you are uncaring, selfish, immature, or worse. Executive function impairment is tied directly to a distorted sense of time and a struggle to manage it.”
Terry Matlen, The Queen of Distraction: How Women with ADHD Can Conquer Chaos, Find Focus, and Get More Done

“You’ve probably heard comments such as these your entire life: “Why can’t she put her stuff away?” “Doesn’t she care how it affects the rest of us?” “Why is she so lazy?” “What a pig!” And you have most likely internalized these painful, derogatory, negative remarks over the years until they have slaughtered your self-esteem, making you wonder What is wrong with me?”
Terry Matlen, The Queen of Distraction: How Women with ADHD Can Conquer Chaos, Find Focus, and Get More Done

“Clutter and chronic disorganization combine to create a virtual hellhole for women with ADHD, a seemingly endless abyss that threatens to suck them down on a daily basis. The compromised executive functioning of the ADHD brain makes all things weigh in as equally important, thereby making sorting, selecting, and tossing a real challenge.”
