pickIt‘s a pick for the right reader. There‘s a valuable message about inherent worthiness and the moral neutrality of a tidy home (no “cleanliness is next to godliness” here). Plus, some practical tips for how to start, or even just tackle the most crucial things, when overwhelmed. But it wasn‘t exactly what I needed, at least not beyond the reminder of how much work I need to do in shedding my perfectionism and separating my motivation from shame.
Happy Monday 💞
pickThis book is perfect.
If you can‘t tell I‘m a little preoccupied with how messy my house is 🙃
pickI get amazed when I see all these people all of the things they clean daily or weekly on FB. I‘m horrible at cleaning, luckily I have a husband that cleans the bathrooms & we have a pretty even split of tasks. This is not really a how to clean book but more of a reminder to go easy on yourself. I think in a world of where we see all these images of perfection on social media it‘s hard to not feel overwhelmed. I also like how the author highlights
pickDefinitely a self-care and compassionate book.
pickAdd me to the list of people who really enjoyed this book. It definitely reads as more of a self-help or self-care book than a cleaning book, but I really liked that about it. Specifically designed to work well for neurodivergent readers, I found it easy to read, and I can see myself going back to it at some point to refresh myself on what I learned. That said, I‘m glad it was a library book, because it‘s a #borrownotbuy for me. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!
It was a really hard choice between How to Keep House While Drowning by KC Davis and A Power Unbound by Freya Marske, but at the end of the year, I think How to Keep House While Drowning is the standout book for me in 2023.
Thanks for making this fun 2023 graphic @chasjjlee!
