Innerbrat brought the ‘Unfuck Your Habitat’ tumbrl to my attention yesterday, and I immediately felt I knew what the point of that thing was, so I went and unfucked my two worst corners today.

  • Before: my bathroom cabinet, all hodgepodge and dusty
  • After: it doesn’t look that much different, but all the shelves are wiped clean, and everything is in a spot where I can grab it in the morning in the order that I need it
  • What you don’t see: the less pretty things all hidden behind the scent bottles
  • My little black cat looked on in disbelief
  • My trusty helper in tackling the bathroom dirt: nice eco-friendly vinegar-based cleaner
  • My bookshelves before I unfucked them, with stuff stuffed between the rows because the shelves are really a bit too high for paperbacks
  • Afterwards: no more stuff between the rows!
  • What you don’t see: the two basketfuls of disused nineties electronics I threw away to make room for the papers that used to be between the bookshelves
  • Time it took me: one hour for the bathroom, 90 minutes for the bookshelves and baskets

Thanks again to innerbrat for pointing me there in the first place!
