Story5 out of 5 stars 3,547
If you’re struggling to stay on top of your to-do list, you probably have a good reason: anxiety, fatigue, depression, ADHD, or lack of support. For therapist KC Davis, the birth of her second child triggered a stress-mess cycle. The more behind she felt, the less motivated she was to start. She didn’t fold a single piece of laundry for seven months. One life-changing realization restored her sanity—and the functionality of her home: You don’t work for your home; your home works for you.

What do you think when you hear the word "declutter" and what does it really mean? It is not about living frugally. It means becoming aware that less is better, because it allows you to acquire more freedom, more money, more space, and more awareness of what you buy and consume. It doesn't just work for things; you can apply decluttering to any part of your life, whether it's the mess in your home, your finances, your brain, your relationships, or even your work.

Publisher's summary
Where do other people find the time to keep their homes so clean? How can I maintain my own clean home without spending hours a week on cleaning, organizing, and doing chores? What feasible life habits can I learn and teach my family to help keep us organized? If you’ve ever struggled with questions like these, then this is the book for you!
50 Things to Know About Habits That Reduce Your Housework by author Maris Liv offers an achievable approach to changing your daily habits in order to maximize your time for more pleasant activities than cleaning, organizing, and tidying up. Take back your leisure time by adopting more efficient and effective living habits.
There are numerous sources available online about cleaning hacks that teach you how to mix your own soap with standard household ingredients or tell you which brands of oven cleaners are most sustainable for the environment. Although these are excellent sources for learning how to keep a cleaner home, some of which are even listed at the end of this book in the section on other helpful resources, the information provided in this book takes a different approach to managing a clean home by exploring specific habits a family can adopt to prevent a home from getting dirtier, thus reducing the cleaning all together.
Within these minutes, you will learn about habits that will help prevent specific rooms in your house from getting dirtier or more disorganized. Four separate sections about the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and kids’ rooms dive into routines that you can develop while spending time in that specific room. A fifth section explores practices that will reduce the time it takes to do specific chores. Each section closes with 11 reflection questions that will help you decide which habits are needed in your household, and which ones will be most appropriate for you and your family. At the end of the book you can find charts to help and encourage you to repeat these tasks the theoretical 21 times it takes to make a new behavior a habit.
Don’t lose any more precious time to unnecessary house cleaning! After listening to this book, you will know dozens of little behaviors that will save you time in the long run, so grab your copy today and start enjoying more of your life with a clean home!

While the world seems to be in love with the idea of tiny houses and minimalism, many of us simply can't purge it all and start from nothing. Yet a home with too much stuff is difficult to maintain, so where do we begin? Add in paralyzing emotional attachments and constant life challenges, and it can feel almost impossible to make real decluttering progress.

Follow New York Times best-selling author Mary Roach - but be careful not to trip - as she weaves through personal anecdotes and everyday musings riddled with her uncanny wit and amazingly analytical eye. These essays, which found a well-deserved home within the pages of Reader's Digest as the column "My Planet," detail the inner workings of hypochondriacs, hoarders, and compulsive cheapskates. (Did we mention neurotic interior designers and professional list makers?) For Roach, humor is hidden in the most unlikely places, which means that nothing is off limits.

Finally, a housekeeping and organizational system developed for those of us who'd describe our current living situation as a "f--king mess" that we "really need to get around to fixing one day". Unf--k Your Habitat is for anyone who has been left behind by traditional aspirational systems - the ones that ignore single people with full-time jobs, people without kids but living with roommates, and people with mental illnesses or physical limitations. Most organizational books are aimed at stay-at-home moms and people who seem to have unimaginable amounts of free time.

Things I didn't think of
This book was a great quick listen and use of a credit. I have a clean home but this book gave me a few tips I would have never thought of. I enjoyed the narrator as well.
