这种革命性的清洁和整理方法有助于让你从家里乱七八糟的感觉中解脱出来。
如果你正努力保持在待办事项清单的首位,你可能有一个很好的理由:焦虑、疲劳、抑郁、多动症或缺乏支持。对治疗师KC Davis来说,她的第二个孩子的出生引发了一个压力-混乱循环。她越觉得落后,就越没有动力开始。她有七个月没叠一件衣服了。一个改变生活的认识让她恢复了理智和家的功能:你不为家工作;你的家适合你。
换句话说,混乱不是道德上的缺陷。一种新的平静感笼罩着她,她放下了基于羞耻感的信息,这些信息将一堆脏衣服解释为“我永远跟不上”,将一个混乱的厨房解释为“我是个坏母亲”相反,她看着没洗的衣服,心想:“我还活着,”看着成堆的盘子,心想,“我连续三个晚上做了我的家庭晚餐。”
在这种自我同情的基础上,KC设计了一种强大的实用方法,并通过她的TikTok账户@DomesticSpags大受欢迎。秘诀在于简化你的待办事项清单,并找到适合你有限时间和精力的创造性变通方法。在这本书中,你将确切地了解如何定制你的清洁策略,重建你与家的关系,包括
•如何将家务视为对未来自我的善待,而不是对自身价值的反映
•如何从设定优先级开始
•如何错开任务,避免拖延
•如何在现有的日常生活中快速清洁
•如何利用创意捷径将房间从杂乱变成实用
在KC的帮助下,你的家将再次感觉像一个庇护所。它将成为一个休息的地方,即使事情还没有结束。你会轻松地行动,平静和平静会消除内疚、自我批评和无尽的清单。他们在这里没有位置。
How to Keep House While Drowning: A Gentle Approach to Cleaning and Organizing
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.
