The perfect housekeeping guide for somebody who is overwhelmed with
their mess and can't figure out how to start. -Lifehacker
"An accessible guide on how to clean for normal people. -Livestrong
It actually changed my life and my home; I'm serious. -Book Riot
Finally, a housekeeping and organizational system developed for those of
us who'd describe our current living situation as a "f*cking mess" that
we're desperate to fix. Unf*ck Your Habitat is for anyone who has
been left behind by traditional aspirational systems. The ones that
ignore single people with full-time jobs; people without kids but living
with roommates; and people with mental illnesses or physical
limitations. Most organizational books are aimed at traditional
homemakers, DIYers, and people who seem to have unimaginable amounts of
free time. They assume we all iron our sheets, have linen napkins to
match our table runners, and can keep plants alive for longer than a
week. Basically, they ignore most of us living here in the real world!
Interspersed with lists and challenges, this practical, no-nonsense
advice relies on a 20/10 system (20 minutes of cleaning followed by a
10-minute break; no marathon cleaning allowed) to help you develop
lifelong habits. It motivates you to embrace a new lifestyle in
manageable sections so you can actually start applying the tactics as
you progress. For everyone stuck between The Life-Changing Magic of
Tidying Up and Adulting, this philosophy is more realistic than
aspirational, but the goal is the same: not everyone will have a
showcase of a home, but whatever your habitat, you deserve for it to
bring you happiness, not stress.
