Publisher's Summary

You don't have to live overwhelmed by stuff - you can get rid of clutter for good! Decluttering expert Dana White identifies the emotional challenges that make it difficult to declutter and provides workable solutions to break through and make progress.

While the world seems to be in love with the idea of tiny houses and minimalism, many of us simply can't purge it all and start from nothing. Yet a home with too much stuff is difficult to maintain, so where do we begin? Add in paralyzing emotional attachments and constant life challenges, and it can feel almost impossible to make real decluttering progress.

In Decluttering at the Speed of Life, decluttering expert and author Dana White identifies the mindsets and emotional challenges that make it difficult to declutter. In her signature humorous approach, she provides workable solutions to break through these struggles and get clutter out - for good!

Not only does Dana provide strategies, but she dives deep into how to implement them, no matter the listener's clutter level or emotional resistance to decluttering. She helps identify procrasticlutter - the stuff that will get done eventually so it doesn't seem urgent - as well as how to make progress when there's no time to declutter.

In Decluttering at the Speed of Life, Dana’s chapters cover:

  • Why you need this book (You know why)
  • Your unique home
  • Decluttering in the midst of real life
  • Change your mind, change your home
  • Breaking through your decluttering delusions
  • Working it out room by room
  • Helping others declutter

As long as we're living and breathing, new clutter will appear. The good news is that by following Dana’s advice, decluttering will get easier, become more natural, and require significantly fewer hours, less emotional bandwidth, and little to no sweat to keep going.

Thank you! Bravo!

An enormous relief to not feel alone in my chaos. Like others I was decluttering to the audible book by chapter 3! We are seniors and our kids will be eternally grateful to you. Any hints for the barn?

The quick start guide to decluttering anything

Simple concepts with simple questions. This book is the perfect place for the struggling declutterer to begin or, in my case, resume.

This is, indeed, real help for real life decluttering!!

I love this book! I highly recommend it.
You will not regret getting it!

I’ve read more than a handful of books on this subject, and this the only book that really helped me and got me going.

Dana gives you strategies on how to deal with your clutter and walks you through them, while acknowledging how hard it is to do it and how you’re feeling throughout the process.

This book validates how you feel, and the fact that Dana shares her experience and recognizes what she went through, helps you realize you are not the only one with such a problem and feelings. You don’t feel “crazy”. 😉

This is the only book that I’ve found addresses how hard it is for some of us to declutter and acknowledges the real feelings of decluttering: guilt, declutter paralysis, frustration, anxiety, fear, grief, avoidance and denial.
The feelings of guilt, of having so much stuff, wasted money and energy, feeling like a failure because of it and for not being able to deal with your clutter. Frustration, anxiety and fear every time you see the clutter and sometimes decluttering paralysis where you don’t know what to do or where to start. It all seems overwhelming. It deals with your feelings of grief -of what you could’ve done with this things, or grief of what you were or could’ve been, career-wise. The feelings of denial and avoidance of clutter.

Enjoy the book and good luck decluttering!

Very motivating

Dana has lots of experience in decluttering. Her book has an ease to it that makes you want to hear it again and again. She adds humor while expressing her own experiences of decluttering her own home. It is an easy to follow and understand book on how to clear out the clutter that fills our homes and lives. Refreshing, entertaining and educational...you can't go wrong with this book.

Very helpful

I am on a decluttering kick at home and I found the book very helpful in how to strategize and not get overwhelmed. How to make decisions about what to keep and what to throw and the message was very reasonable. 😊
