After months of struggling with depression and grief, KC Davis' book "How to Keep House While Drowning" became my lifeline by offering compassionate, practical advice for managing daily tasks when overwhelmed.

Some takeaways:
• Care tasks like cleaning and laundry are morally neutral – not good or bad
• Shame-based motivation leads to shame-based rest, creating a harmful cycle
• "Laziness" doesn't exist – executive function challenges explain task difficulties
• Being kind to your future self by preparing things ahead of time
• Functional systems matter more than aesthetically pleasing ones
• You can't save the world when you're struggling to save yourself


If you're struggling or know someone who is, I highly recommend picking up "How to Keep House While Drowning" – it offers practical approaches to care tasks that are functional, kind, and accessible.
