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

hopeful informative inspiring medium-paced

4.5

There wasn't that much that was new to me because I already follow KC Davis on Instagram and I've read some other similar books that break down cleaning/organizing/managing household tasks, but I can see this book being invaluable to anyone who's overwhelmed or stuck or filled with shame because society teaches us we should feel bad about ourselves when we can't stay on top of life. 

I appreciate Davis' framing: that it's better to be kind to yourself, that laziness doesn't exist, that your spaces and systems and routines exist to serve you. The book can be repetitive at times, but sometimes we need to hear these things again and again for them to sink in.
