About this listen
Have you recently found yourself wondering if you have too much stuff? Do you feel like you are stretching yourself too thin? Maybe you have noticed you don't have as much time to yourself. If you can relate to any of these things, then the minimalist lifestyle may be for you.
Minimalism gives you the ability to bring an end to the constant gluttony of the world. It's the complete opposite of the ads you see everywhere you go. Our society views stuff as a way to prove your wealth and happiness. People eat up noise, distractions, debt, clutter, possessions, and consumerism just to prove that they are better than their neighbor.
With minimalism, you learn how to get rid of all the clutter so that you can focus on what matters the most and the things that you need. The point of a minimalist lifestyle is to reduce things.
Some of the obvious benefits are cleaning out junk and clearing out stress. But when you start, you won't want to stop. This book is here to help you learn how you can begin a minimalist lifestyle. You will learn:
- How to create limits
- Ways to declutter your home
- How to figure out if you are wasting your time
- How to live your life with purpose
- How to travel lightly
- And so much more!
When you finish this book, you will understand how to begin your journey to a stress-free, clutter-free, purposeful life. You'll know what's important, and you will discover that you have more freedom. You'll be able to focus on your health and hobbies that you haven't had a chance to do. Don't continue to live a life of consumerism. Learn how to live your life to its fullest.

Clutter is a common problem, and it’s one that is nearly impossible to ignore. The more it remains in front of you, the more you will feel the stress and anxiety you wish would just go away. While the mess won’t clean itself, if you commit yourself to the process and give it your all the first time around, you won’t need another decluttering session ever again.

Most of us know we own too much stuff. We feel the weight and burden of our clutter, and we tire of cleaning and managing and organizing. While excess consumption leads to bigger houses, faster cars, fancier technology, and cluttered homes, it never brings happiness. Rather, it results in a desire for more. It redirects our greatest passions to things that can never fulfill, and it distracts us from the very lives we wish we were living. But it doesn't have to be this way.

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.

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.

Finally, in the first productivity book by a woman in a decade, Erin Falconer will show you how to do less - a lot less. In fact, How to Get Sh*t Done will teach you how to zero in on the three areas of your life where you want to excel, and then it will show you how to offload, outsource, or just stop giving a damn about the rest. In How to Get Sh*t Done she shows how even the most perfectionistic among us can tap in to our inner free spirit and learn to feel like badasses rather than drudges.
