Habitat Hacking: A Room-by-Room Manual

A small manual for building a house that remembers what your brain forgets, reduces what your body has to survive, and carries some of the load before you ever blame yourself.

This is the whole idea behind my work in 25 pages, room by room, with ways to find the blocked action, name the burden, and make one small change you control. The laundry basket can live on top of the dresser. Nobody appointed the furniture police.
