\"\"<\/a>While certainly housekeeping is not poly-specific, the attitudes around housework and housekeeping can contribute to a happy poly household or rip it apart.<\/p>\n

May I present an option that might be of use to some of you:<\/p>\n

Unfuck Your Habitat<\/a><\/p>\n

The basic system might seem a bit like FlyLady. You do bit of work in small spurts, then take a break. Instead of shining your sink, the idea is to make your bed every day \u2013 in both cases the action is intended for you to create the habit of making a small amount of order in your surroundings habitually. Does it tend to spread?<\/p>\n

Of course.<\/p>\n

Where I think UFYH shines is the concept of the 20\/10 (work for twenty minutes, take ten minute break, lather, rinse, repeat if you need to). The 20\/10 is great for group efforts, which is why I rather like it for the poly family. I think OLQ in its happier days would have taken to it rather well. Marathon cleaning was discouraged, and short bursts of intensive work suited all of us well.<\/p>\n

But wait, there’s more!<\/p>\n

For the iPhone user, Unfuck Your Habitat has an app<\/a>! You can set a timer for a 20\/10, look for an unfucking challenge if you don’t know where to get started, and even keep track of your housecleaning achievements. Yes, making things a game is good<\/em> for household harmony!<\/p>\n

If you have an iPhone, check it out!<\/p>\n

No, this is not entirely altruistic, mind. The developer spent all her available time\/money creating the iPhone app, so there’s no Android app. I’m an Android user, so the more of you nuts who have drunk the Apple Kool-Aid buy this, the faster I get my own app. Yes, tightwad that I am, I will drop a buck ninety nine for this app, as it looks awesome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
