Unfuck Your Habitat

May 2012

IT IS (MOSTLY) DONE.

thispowertounmake: ok, so i’ve been quiet on the unfucking front; not because i quit, but because i didn’t feel like logging everything every step of the way. however, i’m proud to say that i’m Pretty Much Done. one month ago, my room looked like this, as detailed in this post: and now, it looks like this: what i have done: - got a new bed ($100 on craigslist for a queen size; it took WEEKS of...

buttercupsfrocks: As an inveterate housework shirker, I’ve been lurking on Unfuck Your Habitat for a while, trying to summon up the requisite energy to unfuck my own. Most of my waking hours are spent incarcerated in what I laughingly call my study - a boot cupboard room measuring 5’ 11” by 7’ 6”. Over the past few weeks I’ve been working flat out on the second edition of my book, in between...

So I discovered this wonderful blog called Unfuck...

spacetime-continuum: And it was exactly the motivation I needed to get up off of my lazy ass and clean up my (let’s face it) fucked-up room. I have a bad habit of tossing clothes onto the floor and not picking them up for days at a time. Yes, I know, it’s bad. I have the hamper right there. Why don’t I do it? I’m a lazy fuck, that’s why. Then there’s the issue of my computer desh,...

Mini-challenge!

Look up from your computer. Find five things in your line of sight that don’t belong. Get up. Put them away. Resume being lazy online.

thebergeronprocess asked: I am unfucking little bits at a time instead of expecting to do one huge unfucking of the entire habitat--that would be overwhelming!--but I have a question. My DirecTV remote buttons are all nasty and brownish from use. Is there a way to clean them?

thenext15seconds asked: Hello, I am very good at successfully unfucking, however I am not very good at keeping rooms that way. Have you any tips to keep rooms permanently unfucked?

smashbandit asked: I'd like to thank you for this blog. It's done me wonders. Since following it two months ago, I have "unfucked" my closet, desk area, dresser, and even underneath my bed. I feel like I can breath again and I am always excited to come home to see my BED THAT HAS BEEN MADE. It really is a sigh of relief to not come home to piles of shit everywhere. Thank you for existing....

emmaxgudith asked: my house is very, very, extremely messy due to all 4 family members living with depression, anxiety, and mass loads of stress from family problems. my father's mother is coming to town this weekend from out of town and she is a complete neat freak so we are pressured to clean the house to immaculate perfection before she arrives. my bedroom is the focus right now and i just cleaned for almost...

How frequently am I going to need to remind everyone that if I post “make your bed,” and there’s someone in your bed, or you’re in a different time zone, or you’re still sleeping, or your cat is sleeping and doesn’t have legs and can’t move, or you sleep on a pile of sticks without sheets or pillows, JUST DO WHAT YOU CAN WHEN YOU CAN. You don’t have...

Unfucking the shower drain!

girlwithgoats: As I was in the shower today, I noticed it draining a bit slowly. The stopper is supposed to be attached, but broke a while ago, so Best Beloved and I just leave it half-cocked in the drain. I pulled the stopper out, and wound up fishing out an entire fistful of grody hair out of the drain. (Okay, a kid-sized fistful, but still. GROSS, GROSS, GROSS!) I immediately threw it in...

batmanfights asked: What do you recommend cleaning a toilet with that's not harmful to the pipes or the environment?

sexy-syntax-deactivated20120711 asked: This might be a stupid question, but why do you say to add toilet cleaner every night?
