It critiques the self-help industry's failure to consider the social and historical contexts of mess and fatigue. Tracing the evolution of productivity culture from industrial settings to home life, it highlights how societal expectations shape our views on organization and focus. The author explores the concept of being "neither use nor ornament," aiming to deconstruct the moral judgments surrounding perceived inefficiencies and the pressures they create.
