This is a great book if you are having trouble with your day-to-day house chores, or if you are depressed and feel like every small task is a mountain. I'm not at that stage right now. So it wasn't what I was looking for. My stuff is tucked into cupboards and closets, under beds and inside storage containers. My house is clean. It is NOT organized. I want to purge the house of everything unnecessary. This book made me feel like I'm doing great.🙈

lil1inblue This is a good one to keep on hand in case you need it. I went through some health issues for several years, and this was a life saver.
And you ARE doing great! 😉

ItsAnotherJen @lil1inblue 🥰 Thank you!! I do think think this book has great merit. I will keep it in mind as something to recommend to those who might need it. I think I need to look more into the philosophy behind death cleaning. There is so much to be gained from letting go of excess belongings. I haven't had to move in 20 years, so I've accumulated too much. 1d
Scochrane26 Therapists in my agency recommend this one a lot to clients. It‘s not for everyone but good for certain people. 1d

Schnoebs I felt the same way, I did end up following this up with the tagged book. It made me rethink why I‘m holding on to certain things. I‘m honestly thinking about rereading it at some point to make me reevaluate things again. 1d

ItsAnotherJen @Schnoebs I'm reading that one right now!! It's exactly what I needed too. 17h
ItsAnotherJen @Kitta It's the time of year-New Years resolutions are a big deal right now. Organization and getting rid of stuff is one of mine and I think a lot of people are in the same boat. 17h

Kitta @ItsAnotherJen ahhh okay yeah that makes sense then, I forgot somehow? 😅 My library has 85 people waiting. I think I could use it so I‘ll read it. (edited) 15h
Kitta @Sparklemn thank you! 15h
ItsAnotherJen @Sparklemn Thank you for the article rec! I can't embrace my messiness right now though, I need to embrace throwing away or donating things. 😬 I think it would be so liberating to own less🎉🎉 8h

This book gives a great representation of a dealing with a disorder in the classroom. Specifically ADHD and the challenges someone with this would face.

I wouldn't have picked this one up if it wasn't for @sebrittainclark 's #AuldLangSpine list but I'm glad I did! This was a really helpful and encouraging book on how to keep your home livable without stressing yourself out more. I don't have ADHD or depression, which is a big focus of the author's life, but anyone can relate to feeling overwhelmed by everyday tasks and she provides useful manageable tips

I attended a training recently on working with neurodivergent colleagues and decided to listen to this book for a little more insight. It talks about different types of neurodiversities and highlights women in these categories, which I really appreciated as it‘s always been a male dominated study. This book was enlightening and I had some takeaways and see many traits in my immediate family which is not surprising at all.

It‘s amazing the power of hearing that you‘re not alone in your sense of drowning. Life is still a struggle, but Davis‘ words have given me hope, courage, and even skills to help work my way through it. The practical advice provided is actual advice that can help with setting priorities, getting through life tasks that can be or seem overwhelming, and realizing/accepting that you are not a failure for not maintaining an Insta worthy environment.

A late update to my #ReadingBracket2024
I only finished one nonfiction book in September. It was a quick yet encouraging listen

Listened to the audiobook. LOVED this - so many helpful tips and the accessibility of highlighting main points was great. Care tasks = morally neutral.
