I have UFYH in my tumblr feed. Very handy, and there've been a lot more useful posts regarding how to alter the UFYH stuff according to physical or mental health needs, which has been really useful for me.

wow cool, i wonder how many other useful sites are hard to come by (it took a year searching for a cleaning site to find this place, and i never saw ufyh in my wanderings) flylady wasn't for me (it wanted the awful rooms magically gone so you could do 'routines' hundreds and hundreds of lists (my nightmare is lists). this is cool, i love how all the rooms are 'gross' thanks for sharing

Thanks for the link. Although I respect the rules of SOOS, the UFYH site sounds more like I really talk. That's especially so when we're talking about clutter.

Great site - thank you! Both figuratively and literally, these people really speak my language. (Flylady has some excellent content, but I (me, myself, personally) just can't cope with the style. I don't think she's ever actually said anything quite this bad, but I'm always afraid the next sentence is going to be something like: "Guess what time it is, kiddie-widdles! It's time to cleanie-ween your roomsie-rooms! Won't that be super-duper funsie-wunsie!?!") (ETA: But she really does call her readers "flybabies." How'm I gonna to get anything done while I'm busy being condescended to?)

Lion...Did you just drop the "F" Bomb? Oh no you didn't! def6, i'm not sure if you're serious or if you're just teasing me ... "Un- F*ck Your Habitat" (otherwise known as "UFYH") is a website. You'll note that I didn't use the word, but the name of the website does. It's actually a helpful website for harried persons trying to clean up messes. For example: This room is so messy that it's all F'd up -- therefore I need to "un-F" it. The cleaning suggestions are rather flylady-ish (clean in spurts with breaks, etc) but written in more ... blunt ... language. Such as: "Get your butt out of the chair!" Check out the link in the first post of this thread. It's really quite okay!

Okay, I admit it. I judged this book by its cover. I saw this thread and skipped over it, more than once. I should know better. Does the Lioness steer us wrong? Not that I recall. So even though I found the name of the site off-putting, I finally clicked the link. This is good stuff. I think it will be very appealing to many. I happen to like it and I think DD will really like it, as long as I don't try to sell it too hard. The f* word isn't a problem for her generation. There is something to be said for direct and to the point.
Onward

I'm a fan of the site and use it for inspiration sometimes. Though I find the tumblr format annoying. I haven't browsed much since she got a "real" website. I like the routines and the no nonsense approach. onwardandupward, I completely get that some people find the F-word off putting. I view it as more of a tough love kind of thing.
