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.


Yet another book on decluttering/cleaning much like "Sink Reflections" and "The Magic Art of Tidying Up"... however, if you've read those two (or others of their ilk) it really didn't bring anything new to the table. I feel kinda bad rating this so low, because it is NOT a bad book! It just didn't teach me anything new, and I ended up skimming large parts of it, as I already knew those things. But if you're approaching this line of books for the first time, it might be a lot easier to stomach than those two, as it doesn't make any assumptions about where you are in your life, your living situation, your finances or anything like that. So with that in mind I'd recommend "Unf*ck Your Habitat" over the others any day, as it's likely to be a lot less eyeroll-inducing than the other two.
