Banish Clutter Forever | Sheila Chandra

An interesting look at tackling clutter and chaos in life. I loved the toothbrush theory as it makes so much sense. Really useful and gives you actual exercises to help get started. 4*

I don‘t usually seek out self help books, but this book helped me to start unpacking my belief that clean house = good person. It‘s not nearly that simple or easy.

Unraveling where I learned that also helped start me on a self examination journey that, I hope, has made me a better person.

#SundayFunday Have a wonderful day, and don‘t forget to tag me.

ChaoticMissAdventures I follow her on Tiktok, I really like how she focuses on cleanliness not being a moral issue. You are not a "bad person" if your home isn't spotless, that sort of thing. 1w
TreenaReads I read a bunch of parenting books when my son was born, Generally, I don‘t get much out of them. 1w
konlitsy I generally don't feel drawn to self-help books. Even when I attempt to read them, I usually only get through the first two chapters. For self-help, I sometimes listen to the Bhagavad Gita.

Kerrbearlib Oh wow, I need to read this. Cleaning has always been a struggle for me due to my ADHD & CPTSD. It‘s something I‘ve been deeply ashamed of and it‘s had a negative impact on my self-esteem. I‘m trying to unlearn the negative messages that were drilled into me (“You‘re lazy!” was a common one). Maybe a book like this would help. (edited) 1w
BookmarkTavern @Kerrbearlib It helped me a lot. I especially loved the audiobook. It felt like sitting down with a friend. 1w

Mehso-so

She does a fine job of setting out her stall, that between the ages of 8 and 40 or so we're effectively hijacked by biology and culture and that midlife is an opportunity to become our true selves. However I found I don't subscribe to the myths about ageing that she assumes are universal, so it wasn't nearly the paradigm shift that was promised. And while she's good on excavating one's authentic dreams, the realising of them is more problematic.

quietlycuriouskate For instance, suggesting we outsource the "life stuff" that feels like a chore. And how am I to pay for that? With chickpeas? 1w
TheBookHippie 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I have fresh eggs that might get me somewhere… 1w
Caroline2 Chickpeas 😂 I‘ve heard the exchange rate for chickpeas at the mo is favourable though. 👍 I know what you mean, I feel like I‘ve read a lot about rich women “changing their lives” lately. They completely underestimate how difficult it is for the rest of us!!! 1w

The_Penniless_Author Nothing like seeing my book prominently displayed behind a grimacing Rae flashing a thumbs-down. 🤣 I don't know whether to feel heartened or concerned. 1w
The_Penniless_Author It did get me to watch the entire video as well as check out your Goodreads, so as a marketing tool, hat's off! 😆 1w

I usually try to power through them, but sometimes I just give up and don't read for a while.

I need to pick up the tagged book and get it finished. 🙄😏

kspenmoll I change books. I am a mood reader so it helps. 2w
MaGoose @kspenmoll I always have several books going. I'm probably in the middle of 7 or 8 books right now 😵‍💫🙄🤪🤣 2w

Reading via Amazon Prime subscription. There are lots of neurodivergent people in the family including my two young people. One seems sensory seeking and the other is avoidant and their sensory processing seems very easily overloaded.

The writing style on this is a bit clunky to me, but no matter as interested in what the author had to say.

1. I'm feeling well mentally, but I still have severe chronic knee pain, despite visits to 2 orthopedic doctors and bilateral knee replacement surgery 2.5 years ago.

2. I walk 2.5 miles twice a day

3. How to maintain a positive outlook. Sorry if you've already covered that. I'm new to your posts on mental health.

@Kerrbearlib #mentalhealthmonday

tpixie Chronic pain is very hard. Have you tried a self propelled walking backward treadmill? I‘ve heard that those are good for knees… 3w
MaGoose @tpixie I haven't heard of that. I'll look into it. I'm thinking of joining the Y so I can go swimming in their pool. 3w
tpixie @MaGoose swimming is a great idea 💡 Non- jarring! 3w

TiredLibrarian I'm sorry about your chronic pain. 2.5 mi. twice a day is impressive! 3w
BooksandCoffee4Me Had right knee fully replaced last spring and having the left one fully replaced next month. No more cortisone shots and, yes, swimming is so good! Take care. I‘ll pray for you. 3w
Kerrbearlib Sorry for the late replay! I'm sorry to hear you're having knee pain, that must be frustrating! Glad you are doing well mentally aside from the pain! I love walking too. Maintaining a positive outlook hasn't been covered yet, thanks for the recommendation! 3w

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just what I needed to help motivate me to make my space work for myself and to help remove the shame around having a “messy” house or not keeping it clean enough 100% of the time, which makes me feel like a failure.

Short and fast paced. Recommended to me by a non-litsy friend.

Kitta @Texreader it took months for it to come in on Libby! I returned it early so someone else would get a chance to read it lol. My library has 9 copies and 11 people waiting per copy! (edited) 3w
