Unfuck Your Habitat

Someone’s after pictures will always look like someone else’s befores. I can guarantee that if I posted pictures of my house right now, someone out there would find a way to be appalled by the state of my home. We’re all working from different baselines.

Don’t let the idea of perfection turn you away from making progress. The most important part of the UfYH philosophy is that even if you can only do a tiny little something, that great! That’s progress! So you don’t have a perfect home when you’re done. That’s fine. It’ll be a little bit better. And then maybe tomorrow, a little more on top of that.

You don’t have to post pictures. I’d still suggest taking them, so you can see your progress. We often can’t track how far we’ve come when we’re right in the middle of it, but it’s good to be able to look at a picture and say, “Wow. I did more than I thought.”

And finally, no one, not one single person here, is beyond help. No one’s home is too far gone to even start. You deserve better than to feel so terrible about where you live.
