A practical, no-holds-barred approach to housekeeping that'll motivate you to get off the sofa and tidy up.
Finally, a housekeeping and organizational system developed for those who'd describe their current living situation as a 'f*cking mess' that you 'really need to get around to fixing one day'.
Rachel Hoffman began Unf*ck Your Habitat as a Tumblr blog using daily, weekly, and mini challenges to motivate the lazy to get up and start cleaning. She launched Unf*ck Your Habitat in book form, for anyone who has been left behind by traditional aspirational systems. The ones that so often ignore single people; people without kids; students; people with pets or roommates; those with full-time jobs; and people with mental illnesses, chronic illnesses, and physical limitations.
Most organizational books are aimed at devoted homemakers, DIY-ers, and people who seem to have unimaginable amounts of free time. They assume we all iron our sheets, have linen napkins that 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, challenges and other how-tos, this no-nonsense advice relies on UfYH's 20/10 system (20 minutes of cleaning followed by a 10-minute break; no marathon cleaning allowed) in order to help you develop lifelong habits. It's designed to encourage the reader to embrace a new lifestyle in manageable sections, so they can actually start applying the tactics as they progress. For everyone stuck between The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up and Adulting, this philosophy is decidedly 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.
