Only have two baby bottles to clean? No problem, run the entire dishwasher. Only have a couple things to wash? No problem, run the entire washing machine and dryer cycle. Too tired to consider the enormous carbon footprint caused by choices made to alleviate your own exhaustion? You do you, that’s part of self care. Can’t seem to find time to mop the floor? Then just take it off the list of what you need for a clean house. Magic!

I was hoping for a few tips to help deal with the tasks of adulting; what I got instead were tips on how to create more waste, buy more laundry baskets, and avoid unpleasant tasks. This book was not for me.

However, one idea that I really did appreciate from this book was the idea that in a jointly-run household (or, really, any non-solo living situation), every person -regardless of income and their financial contribution ability- deserves equal *rest* time. Rather than diving tasks 50/50, consider instead what needs to happen in order for each person to have equal rest time, where “rest� does not include meeting basic needs (such as sleep, hygiene, exercise, eating).
