This revolutionary approach to cleaning and organizing helps free
you from feeling ashamed or overwhelmed by a messy home.
If
you’re struggling to stay on top of your to-do list, you probably
have a good reason: anxiety, fatigue, depression, ADHD, or lack of
support. For therapist KC Davis, the birth of her second child
triggered a stress-mess cycle. The more behind she felt, the less
motivated she was to start. She didn’t fold a single piece of
laundry for seven months. One life-changing realization restored her
sanity—and the functionality of her home: You don’t work for
your home; your home works for you.
In
other words, messiness is not a moral failing. A new sense of calm
washed over her as she let go of the shame-based messaging that
interpreted a pile of dirty laundry as “I can never keep up” and
a chaotic kitchen as “I’m a bad mother.” Instead, she looked at
unwashed clothes and thought, “I am alive,” and at stacks of
dishes and thought, “I cooked my family dinner three nights in a
row.”
Building
on this foundation of self-compassion, KC devised the powerful
practical approach that has exploded in popularity through her TikTok
account, @domesticblisters. The secret is to simplify your to-do list
and to find creative workarounds that accommodate your limited time
and energy. In this book, you’ll learn exactly how to customize
your cleaning strategy and rebuild your relationship with your home,
including:
-How
to see chores as kindnesses to your future self, not as a reflection
of your worth
-How
to start by setting priorities
-How
to stagger tasks so you won’t procrastinate
-How
to clean in quick bursts within your existing daily routine
-How
to use creative shortcuts to transform a room from messy to
functional
With
KC’s help, your home will feel like a sanctuary again. It will
become a place to rest, even when things aren’t finished. You will
move with ease, and peace and calm will edge out guilt,
self-criticism, and endless checklists. They have no place here.
