This book is great to help feel less awful about our messes and build up the basics to create lasting good habits. It has helped me become less stressed and I can already see how doing tiny things add up.
Yes, it does have cussing, but it's titled "unf*ck your habitat", so not sure why anyone is surprised by it.

This book is about cleaning and is still funny and enjoyable to read. Includes useful tips for keeping your home both neat and clean.

I appreciated her discussion of mental health and perfectionism and mess. Alas, it appears the answer is the same as it always was: I’ll have to clean more. This book did help me come to grips with that a bit.

3.5 rounded up.

Thank you to Caroline for recommending this title.

This short and useful guide for the rest of us--those of us not of the model home, magazine design spread spaces that look sooo perfect but are not in any way realistic for most people.

Some of it is common sense, but anyone reading might need the basics reiterated for motivation.

She also speaks compassionately to anyone who lives with with conditions or disabilities that can interfere with daily housekeeping as well as big projects like cleaning your entire space in a day.

Very nice advice for anyone helping someone else with decluttering, etc.

She includes positive information and guidance for people living in other situations--such as dorm rooms, other roommate situation, or living in someone else's home like your parents.

With specific strategies and encouragement, the potty mouth writing is worth it! Nice encouraging tone with guidance that is not overwhelming and can be put to use immediately.

The audiobook was nicely narrated.

I mean. All the advice in the book is good, but it's just a bit shallow. I only continued on because it was an audiobook and I was listening to it while working. So, just to pass the time..

Some good tips about how to get on top of your mess. The useful content is padded out with long sections that circulate around the same basic advice, so even though it's a short book it could have been much shorter.
