How to Keep House While Drowning: A Gentle Approach to Cleaning and Organizing by KC Davis

5.0

I listened to the audiobook of this, read by the author with a special guest offering insight into POC hair care.
I loved this book. It gave me so many nod along “yes! That’s me!” moments. I will likely check out the kindle book from my library next so I can highlight some of those passages. This is a self help book I can actually see wants to reread and benefiting from doing so.
The approach here is so gentle and understanding and helps you take the “moral obligations” off of caring for yourself. Care tasks or morally neutral. I mean, DUH, and THANK YOU.
I also really appreciate the inclusion of “hacks” and how tos. Both get you ready to tackle tasks that may have felt impossible by teaching you How To Do The Thing AND how to Trick Your Brain To Do The Thing.
