I will be re-reading this book. Care tasks are very difficult for me and I struggle with perfectionism. KC has accessibly and genuinely laid out different ways of thinking of care tasks, applicable strategies, and reflective questions. The input from Imani Barbarin also expanded the book to be inclusive for disabled people and considerate of the black experience. Whether read as a reference or straight through, this is a wonderful book for ADHD, mentally ill, busy, and disabled adults (or even just any adult) to experience. There is a lot of stuff about parenting applicable to self-parenting. I wish she would have gone more into movement or in the future expand to working from home tasks.
