Overview
If you feel like you’re doing everything for everyone and still sinking a little deeper every day, you’re not alone. In Escaping Quicksand, Lisa Woodruff reveals why so many women feel buried by the mental load of modern home life and how to finally rise above it.
Drawing from her own “quicksand years” and research in applied psychology, Woodruff shows that the overwhelm we experience is not a personal failure but the predictable result of invisible, unmanaged work absorbing our time, identity, and energy. Through her transformative ten-step system, she teaches readers how to take ownership of their time, build supportive routines, redefine self-care, make the invisible visible, and approach household management with the clarity and confidence of a true household CEO.
With honesty, humor, and deeply relatable stories, Woodruff guides women out of reactive living and into a proactive, empowered life where their goals and gifts finally have room to thrive.
In Escaping Quicksand, readers will learn how to:
· Identify the “quicksand” that’s draining their time and emotional energy
· Replace chaos with simple, sustainable routines
· Understand why “Swiss cheese organizing” fails—and what actually works
· Create systems that support the whole household, not just its tasks
· Reclaim their mental bandwidth using the Sunday Basket method
· Embrace self-care as essential leadership, not indulgence
· Build a home life that reflects who they are and who they’re becoming
