I Didn't Do the Thing Today: Letting Go of Productivity Guilt to Embrace the Hidden Value in Daily Life by Madeleine Dore

hopeful reflective relaxing slow-paced

3.5

Really lovely and soothing and genuinely helpful! I've seen so many reviews talking about how this book has far too many quotes in it, but I found the quotes made for a really thoughtful, meandering path through Dore's advice and experiences. I listened to this as an audiobook and really enjoyed dipping in and out of it based on the themed chapters, and would go back and get this as a physical copy to keep better track of the different strategies and suggestions. I found it a bit difficult at times when so many ideas had their caveats and that made listening to it at times frustrating, but that was mostly towards the start and when I got into the flow I could let myself enjoy things just being rather than being THE ANSWER. Liked it.
