HOW TO KEEP HOUSE WHILE DROWNING by KC Davis advertises itself as a guide to reframing one's relationship with cleaning & organizing-especially amidst struggling with anxiety, fatigue, depression, ADHD, and/or lack of support. 

I was particularly intrigued by this book because cleaning & organizing take a unique toll (and lots and lots of spoons) on the disabled community, and this book seemed to consider that from the get-go. 

Although I appreciated the intent and most of the messaging, I don't think this book is very useful to moderate-severe spoonies, or to those living alone. I also found it pretty repetitive around its central message, which ended up being to detach your self worth from "care tasks," as opposed to advice on how to manage these tasks better. 

I think this book could be beneficial to those who struggle with chore-related shame/trauma, especially if they have kids and/or don't live alone. It could also be beneficial to those who are neurodivergent but aren't also moderate-severe spoonies. 

Ultimately, I'm glad this book exists for those who find it helpful, but I wish it wasn't so exclusionary and repetitive.
