Don’t Overthink Everything
Don’t spend too much time analyzing or rehashing things in your head.
Overthinking can rob you of the present and create undue stress and anxiety you don’t need. If you find yourself mentally besieged by something stressing you out, go for a walk to help clear your mind.

It’s Okay to Fail
The average young adult goes through five or six career changes before age thirty. It’s okay if something you’ve dreamt about falls through. Perhaps you were meant to walk a different path. It doesn’t mean you’re any less unique or special. It means you’re growing and about to embark on a different journey than you fantasized about as a teen. And that’s okay. It’s a normal part of life experience.
Failure is a good teacher and a powerful motivator. James Cameron started as a truck driver, and Harrison Ford was a blue-collar carpenter. J. K. Rowling was a teacher and single mom on welfare. Adam Driver got turned down when he first auditioned for the Juilliard School; he joined the Marines, and two years later, when he reauditioned for Juilliard, he got in.

Learn from Your Mistakes
Inevitably, everyone messes up. Despite how together or entitled people might act, nobody knows what they’re doing when they first launch into adulthood. Everyone starts as a fish swimming in the same ocean against the same current. As the Alanis Morissette song goes, “No one’s really got it figured out just yet.” Making mistakes is essential to learning and growing, and it’s how we evolve.

Thank you Sherry, my publisher really surprised me and embosed the front cover! It was lovely to take it to the launch party signing at Barnes and Noble, it's the first book I've published that's had an embosed cover. Pretty cool! I hope you enjoy the book. ;)

Thanks, guys! One fun one I did this morning for release day was to put a few copies in little libraries around the city.

Thank you kindly, everybody. The reviews are rolling in, and there have been some pretty amazing things said about this book. Here's one of the reviews from Amazon: I wish that someone had given me a book like this as an 18 year old. It's full of practical advice, and tear jerking words of encouragement and Hope. It's like getting some good advice from a mother or a big sister. Definitely buy this book!

Sam

3/13/2024 10:55:29 am

Haley Cavanagh link

Thanks, Sam! The book covers everything from parenting and housekeeping hacks, to zombie apocalypse survival planning, ha ha! In addition to budgeting, cooking and cleaning advice, it also touches on life advice such as having a good work ethic, how to manage your time efficiently and deal with stress, etc. I hope you'll check it out. ;)

Cathy French

3/13/2024 01:34:57 pm

Looking forward to learning and reading about invaluable advice especially saving money

Haley Cavanagh link

3/13/2024 03:04:42 pm

Thank you, Cathy! It's remarkable how something as small as money can make such a big difference in a person's life, but oh boy, it does! The book begins with Finances and talking about ways you can budget and save, which can really help someone starting out on their own or someone who may struggle to find their budgeting niche. I hope you'll check out the book and that it benefits you and the young adults in your life!
All the best. :)

Thanks so much, you guys. I have been blown away and humbled by all the positive reviews this book has been receiving! It's so amazing to hear it helped people and that everyone's enjoying it. I love to hear about reader experiences through reviews - I wrote this book to help people, so nothing is neater than when you discover it really did impact someone and make their life better in little ways. I hope you'll all check out Adulting: The Ultimate Cheat Sheet! Read the reviews if you're on the fence about the book, people are going to town in their feedback, and it's great!
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. It's very windy and cold here in Utah, but it should be sunny!

Oh my gosh. Are the kids no longer having home ec or watching their parents, grandparents to learn how to be an adult.? Is it no longer taught in school how to handle your finances and sign in cursive your name? Ah... I thought this was a gag book, but it is a serious book on how to stop having ma and dad take care of you.

Haley Cavanagh link

3/17/2024 09:58:25 am

Thanks, everyone. You know, what's so fascinating and frustrating and great about life is that we all come from different walks and beats of life. Some may have a hugely supportive support system, while others struggle. That's one of the reasons I wrote this, because everyone could use advice at some point as they come into young adulthood. I'm so grateful it has been helping people. It's been so gratifying and humbling to read the reviews on Amazon and Goodreads and realize that this book is having the positive effect on others that I had hoped it would have. Thank you for all of your comments. I appreciate your interest in this book, and I hope you'll check it out.

From what I can tell from various sources, this might be a good read for people of several chronological ages, not just those who are normally considered to be entering the 'adult' world.

Haley Cavanagh link

3/23/2024 12:21:31 pm

Hi Leonine, Danielle, and Carol,
Thank you for your comments. The great thing about this book is there is something in it for everyone, whether you're just starting out into adulthood or not. I hope you all enjoy the book as much as I enjoyed writing it. 💜 Please let.me know if you have any questions. I have loved reading the reviews from people the book has touched and helped.

Suzie B

3/26/2024 05:56:09 am

This sounds wonderful and relatable! For the author; what was the most difficult part of writing this book?

Haley Cavanagh link

3/26/2024 08:24:41 am

Hi Susie, thank you for your comment and question! You know, the hardest thing about writing this book was just finding the time! As parents, we have so many things to do and so many places to be and on top of our jobs, getting the kids to and from school, cleaning the house, and basically being everybody's manager, it's so hard to find the time to sit down and write. I remember dictating some of this book in my car while picking up the kids from school in the carpool lane, jotting down notes here and there, and basically just doing things while on the go until I could carve out time to write. It's been a process, but I believe the end product is so worth it. It's a very helpful book that I believe will give a lot of people sound advice in a fun and relatable way, and there's always something anyone reading it can glean from it whether it's hacks for cleaning, how to pay bills or save money on your utilities, to simple travel advice and checklists that might come in handy. This book isn't my first book, I've actually written 13 under this name and a pen name, but I will say that this is the book that I'm the most passionate about because it's the book that I would have wanted to have as a young adults, and I'm super excited about its potential to help other people.
Thanks again for your comment. I hope you have a great day. 💜👍

Betsy Kaplan

3/27/2024 01:08:06 pm

Looks great.

Haley Cavanagh link

3/28/2024 10:05:36 am

Thanks, Betsy! It's been getting great reviews and I am so happy people have found it useful and informative. It's amazing how something as simple as knowing how to save on monthly bills or cut costs when dining out can help when you're starting out as an adult. I've had lots of people come to me and say, "I got this for my son/niece for Easter" or "I'm going to get this for my granddaughter as a graduation gift." I am thankful to have been able to work with Cedar Fort Publishing to get this book into the hands of those who need it! I hope you enjoy the book.
Sincerely,
HC

Hi Starla,
First of all, I LOVE your name! I don't think I've ever met a Starla before. And oh yes, self help is where it's at. I set about writing this book initially for my girls to pass down pearls of wisdom for them when they got older, but it's so amazing how writing can transform into something useful and productive for other people. I'm here for it, too! Thanks so much for your comment. I hope you enjoy the book.
All the best,

Will definitely give it a read, adulting is hard :/ What did you enjoy about the book making process?

Haley Cavanagh link

4/3/2024 06:05:06 am

Hi Helena,

You're right adulting can be hard, but with the right choices and the tips and tools this book offers, it can be a bit easier and fun! What I enjoyed most about making this book was working with Cesar Fort Publishing! They are hands down the best publisher I have ever worked with and I would do it a hundred times again. They are great people who are kind, funny, and know what they're doing. Creative wise, this book took much longer than any of my others to create because it was important to me to get it all right. So it was a project that started way back in 2007 on a Post It note! One thing to glean from all of this is that nothing you do creatively is EVER wasted! 💜
Thanks so much for your question.
