Unfuck Your Habitat

wheretheeastwindblows:

Having the holiday in the middle of the week seems to have thrown off my routine.  I feel kind of weird and out of sorts today, but that hasn’t stopped me from doing some unfucking.  I’m at a point where I’m maintaining the unfucking I’ve accomplished in my habitat while I continue unfucking some of my work habits.  20/10s have been helping me stay on task both in my office and when I work from home.  I’m watching significantly less tv in the evenings, and using that time to unfuck or work has made me feel as though I’m making progress on both fronts.  Here is what I accomplished on Sunday evening instead of watching reruns of embarrassing reality tv shows that I would never want to actually admit to watching:

Bathroom vanity before:

And after:

Kitchen counter before:

Kitchen counter after:

So far I’ve managed to make sure that these two areas are back in the “after” condition at the end of the day, and I try to spread the circle of unfucking outwards a little each day.  On the work front, I ordered a statistics book to help me untangle and interpret some of the more complicated tests that I have to run and have been avoiding, and until that arrives I’m reading and summarizing some theses related to my research and cleaning off my desk.  Some days I feel like I’m going about this whole unfucking thing excruciatingly slowly, but then I make a mental list of the small but significant changes I’ve made and remind myself that small changes are kind of the point. Thank you, UfYH!
