How to Keep House While Drowning: A Gentle Approach to Cleaning and Organizing by KC Davis

inspiring lighthearted reflective fast-paced

5.0

 This was such a validating read. It offers so much empathy to a human task that has somehow been given a moral value, as if you are a good person if you keep a clean home. 

There really doesn’t need to be the amount of guilt and shame associated with cleaning when we’re all out here trying to survive, and guilt and shame really don’t help you be a healthier or even cleaner person. 

K.C. also gives some great tips and strategies on how to balance mental health with organization and cleanliness, how to get past that negative self-talk, and how to find systems that work for you. 

Get out of the grind or perfectionist mindset and let yourself be human. You are not failing. You are struggling, and that’s okay.
