trashfae 's review for:
I've never read a book like this - one that is actually targeted at someone who is struggling. Rather than the type of "get up and go, you create your happiness" pseudo-inspirational bull that makes up most of the self-help industry, it was so refreshing to read something that is focused on harm reduction and the realities of executive dysfunction. It is hard to realize how much negativity you have internalized about the moral value of housework and organization until you start to undo those messages and see things through a different lens. At first I was simply looking for creative ideas on how to re-organize tasks in a way that makes them more doable. But the more I engaged with the material in the book, the more I saw how changing your emotional relationship with care tasks is something that's even more important. It's one thing to know that it's okay to struggle, but many people, myself included, have a hard time applying a caring, kind attitude to themselves. Of course that cycle of shame and guilt is going to make it even harder to complete tasks. But kindness fosters a better environment for your overall ability, and changing the way you see things allows you to do things in a fashion that works best for you, regardless of how it may appear to others. Overall, an extremely important and helpful book.
