How to Keep House While Drowning: A Gentle Approach to Cleaning and Organizing by KC Davis
4.0
How To Keep House While Drowning is not particularly written for neurodivergent folks, but I’m pretty sure that it will help a lot of people struggling with mental health and disorders.
KC Davis is so understanding with a lot of struggles and does a great job of not only offering tips but also explaining how guilt is manifested and how we can try to get rid of it.
I was positively surprised that this book touches the topics of self-care, hygiene and nutrition too and that a black person was included in giving tips for taking care of black hair. Another part that I highly appreciated was the explanations on how parents and caregivers can not only build a lot of shame and guilt around house keeping but also use it against us in an abusive way.
all in all I really enjoyed this much different approach to a self-help book and I will definitely be going back to it and implement some tips into out neurodivergent household.
