This was one of the first books, years ago, where I felt truly “seen” as a competent yet disorganized person who is surprised every night that dinner needs to be made.

I like Phil Boissiere’s way of organizing EF into over-arching categories - and his emphasis on how learnable these important skills are.

Many years ago, my boss sent me to a workshop with Peg Dawson, where my world cracked wide open when I saw, for the first time, that the stuff I had struggled with all my life fit into a simple framework with very common categories. (Categories that didn’t include You Are Just Really…Bad.)
