Cómo cuidar tu casa cuando la vida te ahoga

If you are looking for cleaning hacks, appendix 2 has a dozen or two of them, you can skip right there. This book isn't about cleaning.

This book is about decluttering your brain more than your house. Understanding the differences between what must be done and what you've internalized. The theme that this book comes back to is that these chores are morally neutral. Dusting, laundry, vacuuming are neither morally good nor evil. You'll be far better served if you find a reason to do them, find a work around to make them easier or not needed, or find the core need that actually needs to be done.

As an aside, this book touches on self care, which is something that always tickles my brain. I get the impression that some people use the term "self care" as a code for self indulgence. I like to think of it instead as caring for yourself as you would care for a friend. Would you insult a friend who didn't clean, or would you kindly help? If you could exercise your friend's body for them, would you as a kindness? I think that a healthier way to approach self-care is to treat yourself the way you would a treat friend.
