I picked this little book at the library because the title intrigued me.  It's an intriguing way to look at taking care of your house and yourself, especially if you are struggling.  This book teaches you to reframe how you look at "care" tasks (hygiene, cleaning, cooking, etc.).   This book would help anyone who is temporarily struggling (grief, depression, illness, injury), as well as those who are permanently struggling (ADHD, disability, chronic disease, being a caretaker.)

At first, some of the suggestions were the same as most self-help books (do tasks the night before to set yourself up for a good day, put on music to clean).  Still, others were out of the box (too tired to empty the dishwasher - take out the few things you need now, add the few that must be cleaned, and rerun the dishwasher.)

This book would be helpful for those struggling, but I think it could be even more useful for someone who knows a person struggling.  It would give them concrete ways to help the person without shaming them about the state of their home or self.

Compassionate and practical. My only complaint is that images with text are too small. They're cute illustrations. I don't know why they're so small.
