 You know when a book finds you at just the right time and it resonates with you on a level you didn't expect? This book did that for me. For such a short and digestible book, it took me a lot longer to read than I expected. But I think that came from the weight of the messaging within the book and the life stuff that came up while I was reading.  Clocking in at ~150 pages, every chapter is boiled down to its most essential components and messages, and even written with the TL;DR highlights nodded bolded and "skip here for the next most important message" links noted. The biggest highlight I came out of this book with was "Caring for yourself and your space is morally neutral." Being messy, struggling to get yourself into a shower, or a breakdown in executive function keeping you from starting or finishing the laundry doesn't make you a bad person. It just means you're human and finding a care system that works for you and your house is still a work in progress.
