This sounds very useful and freeing. I’ve been really quite unwell for a couple of weeks with a virus and I’m fretting at the floors while knowing if I vacuum and mop (and move stuff around and move the cat who lives in the bathroom) I am going to lay myself out. I’m sitting with it until I’m stronger but it’s quite hard – and I’m not a houseproud person at all!

Lisa, this sounds like a wonderful, freeing book. I love the mantra “Anything worth doing is worth doing partially.” I like my house to be tidy, but I’m not obsessive about everything being spotlessly clean all the time. (Some chains are meant to be broken, and this was one for me.) Hugs, friend.

I will definitely start using “care tasks” instead of “chores”. Yes, there is always too much housework to do. I read somewhere that readers always have untidy houses …

This sounds like a wonderful book! It’s so much easier to keep my spaces clean and organized now that the nest is empty ?. My hubby got me a Roomba for our anniversary and there’s something so satisfying about seeing neatly vacuumed rows in the carpet. I have the energy to dust now (I can’t do both—vacuum AND dust each week ?).

I love the idea of care tasks instead of chores!
My house is always picked up and presentable; but I feel a lot of guilt over dust and jam-packed closets and drawers. I’m not a bad person! Just one who hasn’t got the victory yet. I definitely want to read this book and watch her TED talk.

My Mom was a great housekeeper and I’ve always felt guilty that my standards were not up to hers. When I met my birth mother, I discovered she was not a great housekeeper either. So I concluded it must be genetic and I missed that gene. HaHa
