Synopsis

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 "really need to get around to fixing one day." 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 stay-at-home moms 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 guide helps you develop lifelong habits. It motivates you to embrace a new lifestyle in manageable sections so you can start applying the tactics as you progress. 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.

Goodreads review by Jessica on January 03, 2017

I received an advance copy of this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I'm an American woman in the 21st century, so I've spent my time ogling the sunny spreads in Real Simple, I've tried to Kondo my closet, and I've been immersed in a society that tells me that I am the one who is bette......more

Goodreads review by Nakia on March 23, 2017

One can always tell when a blogger gets a book deal. They usually have just a few points to make and become long-winded to stretch their points into a book. That being said, this is cool information that will be especially helpful to people with disabilities (it had never dawned on me how difficult......more

Goodreads review by destiny ♡ on February 06, 2020

I've been meaning to read this for ages, and since I bought the new Cleaning Sucks journal earlier this month, it felt like time to finally pick this up! I had read snippets on the UfYH website before (enough to know I liked Hoffman's style), but hadn't really sat down to tackle this one cover to co......more

Goodreads review by Emily on January 25, 2019

This lady had about 3 points to make. It should have been a 5 page book. Instead it's a 225 page book that you can just read by looking for what is written in bold print. Basically this - tidy as you go. Clean for 20 mins and take a 10 min break. There - I just saved you $15 on the book.......more

Goodreads review by Hristina on December 22, 2016

Copy received through NetGalley in exchange for a fair review Confession time: My room is a mess. It's not something I'm proud of, but it's the truth. I needed this book in my life, and I am positively surprised by it. I loved the tone Mrs. Hoffman uses, so relaxed and warm. The tips she offers are gr......more
