About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

This is a book for anyone who feels overwhelmed by life and is looking for an accessible and gentle way to care for their home—and themselves.

Have you ever looked at a pile of dishes in the sink and wanted to crawl back into bed? Or found yourself staring at the overflowing recycling bin thinking, why is my life such a mess?

But what if we stopped seeing a clean house as a reflection of our worth and instead as a kindness to our future self?

How to Keep House While Drowning will introduce you to six life-changing principles to revolutionise the way you approach domestic work, all without a single to-do list. Most importantly, it will help you get free of shame and guide you in coping with stress...and that ever-mounting laundry pile.

This book will help you:

  • Find ways to make your home serve you.
  • Break down domestic work into manageable tasks.
  • Stop negative self-talk around housework.
  • Give yourself permission to rest, even when things aren't finished.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

…this book may contain useful approaches how to tackle tasks from laundry, dishes to bigger one of tasks. Ignore the long 1 star review, they didn’t understand the issue. Book contains both practical tips that may be beneficial, but it also tackles the psychological aspect of chores cleanliness and the so called standards of what clean looks like. So if you hate chores and may have (or know) to have ADHD (and like symptoms) you can find surprisingly good tips in this one that doesn’t hammer on your inner self and patronize you for being terrible. It may also save you years of trying to figure it out for yourself (took me over 15 years to come up with similar chore systems as described). Author also offers an abridged version so it may not even be 3 hours. Worth the listen read.
