How to Keep House While Drowning: A Gentle Approach to Cleaning and Organizing by KC Davis
4.0
ETA: I’m still giving this 4 stars despite my mixed feelings on this. The tips and appendices are super helpful and it’s always a good reminder that cleaning is about function and not your moral status.
This is good, but not for me and I’m happy to say that. A lot of the tips here are ones that (happily) I’ve already learned via a recent regimen of therapy and unpacking old shame. If you have a lot of shame associated with housework, check this one out. It’s no-nonsense and designed so that you can either skip-read it and reference the appendices of activities that make your life more functional or you can have a quick read through the whole thing and digest the philosophy of having your space be perceived as functional instead of moral.
I like this, but I feel past me would’ve benefited more. And that’s okay.
