I don't have too much to say about this one. It was fine. I did get some useful tips from it, and I appreciated how it was framed for those who struggle with their mental health or who are neurodivergent. Tasks like cleaning and tidying can feel impossible for me at times, and this did help me frame it in a different light. I also found I'm already doing some of the things suggested here.

That being said, I found some of the suggestions a little silly (disposable pre-pasted toothbrushes? Throwing away dirty dishes and clothes to avoid cleaning them? Really?) I also found it a little repetitive in parts, for such a small book.

But overall I think this was good. I'm not sure if I'll ever re-read it, but I'm glad I did read it.
