Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. With an abundance of hilarious household tips, Leave Your Dishes in the Sink is here to teach you how to look like you're doing the most by doing less.Most home economics books share the same guidance: the best way of doing things. In a world of Instagram-worthy homes and Pinterest-perfect meals, sometimes the best way of doing things feels unattainable. Leave Your Dishes in the Sink teaches you how to work with lifes most relatable habits to create the illusion of upkeep and a facade of cleanliness. Taking you room by roomfrom the kitchen and the living room to the bedroom and the bathroomyoull learn the proper (aka easiest) way of doing things. Avoid dirty dishes by eating out of the jar. Choose the houseplant that will match your level of self-doubt. And who needs folding the laundry when you have The Chair? Youll even find out how to entertain your guests without them noticing you havent vacuumed your carpet since you signed your lease. With the help of elegant charts and diagrams, youll find answers to some of the lifes toughest questions, including: How do I fold a fancy napkin? (Just dont.) Does a bucket count as a cup? (Yes.) Which way does the toilet paper roll go? (Who cares!) Witty and absurd, Leave Your Dishes in the Sink is a hilarious reminder that real life exists and its okay to give yourself a break. By doing less, you too can create your dream homeor at least one thats totally fine just the way it is. The best kind of self-improvement book, this anti-perfectionism guide gives you permission to give yourself a break while getting in some laughs!LAUGH-OUT-LOUD RELATABLE: Author Alison Throckmorton perfectly distills all the universal shortcuts we take as adults trying to keep it all together, like leaving your dishes in the sink "to soak" and using that one chair you have as a second dresser.
