Waterstones Says

Removing the stress and frustration of housework and domestic chores through revelatory new methods, How to Keep House While Drowning is an essential guide to a clean house and a healthy mind.

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
