But, it's about motivation, and support, and accountability.There's a weird sort of void in the "taking care of your physical surroundings" stuff, in the archaic "how to keep a home" and "how to be domestic" arenas. It tends to ignore single people, or people without kids, or students, or people with pets, or people with roommates, or people with full-time jobs, or classes, or other sh*t going on. It assumes everyone is married with kids and one partner is around a lot of the time, and has a lot of time to devote to "housekeeping."Well, we don’t all live that life. Very few of us do.UfYH is gender-neutral. I don’t buy into traditional standards of who "should" be doing cleaning. If you live somewhere, you deserve for that place to be nice and clean and livable, and you should be the one who makes it that way. I don't care who you are or what box or boxes you check or don't.

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.

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.

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?)

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!

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

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.
