I learned about this book from someone i follow on instagram. Can I be honest? I was a little put off by all the lack of upper case letters on the cover....but after reading it I think maybe that was strategic. I don't really have a hard time with keeping house and being organized so I wasn't sure this book would be for me - but the more I read the more I appreciated her thinking. Self-compassion is key and so many of the approaches she talks about would work in many other aspects of my life like teaching school, serving at church and in my community, and more.

Vienīgā grāmata par tīrīšanu un kārtošanu jeb aprūpes uzdevumiem, kuru no sirds varu ieteikt izlasīt jebkuram. Saudzīgs, iejūtīgs un praktisks palīgs funkcionējošu sistēmu ieviešanā, kas apstiprināja un papildināja manu filozofiju par mājām kā vietu, kas kalpo man, nevis otrādi. Autorei izdevies lakoniski, konkrēti, bet ar dziļu empātiju atšķetināt morālos aspektus, kas apvij tīrību un kārtību paralizējošā, apgrūtinošā un kaunpilnā veidā. Tā vietā viņa piedāvā likt centrā rūpes par sevi un savu rītdienas "es". Lai iet - "aprūpes uzdevumi ir morāli neitrāli" būs mans jaunais moto mājas apkopes darbu organizēšanā. Dodu pieci un piecas zvaigznes!
I listened to the audiobook version of this in one go, fittingly while I was tidying, and part of me wishes I had gone with the physical copy.
There wasn’t anything wrong with the audiobook, there were just a lot of quotes and tips that I mostly already knew but that I would have liked to dog-ear (yes, I’m one of those) that are good reminders for when I get into a spiral of overwhelm.
It’s also specifically designed for neurodivergent people which I appreciate — no filler or fluff, straight to the point, and lots of helpful tips and affirmations.
While it was mostly a good reminder and nothing particularly new for me since a lot of the things talked about in this book I’ve benefitted from a while ago through CBT for my ADHD, I’d definitely recommend it for other ADHDers who struggle with their executive function, particularly around the house.
