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.
