Make use of the info and you WILL see results
Dana is a fountain of knowledge. I purchased the book having already been a fan of hers. Her voice is easy to listen to. She has a lot of great tips and methods and if you actually implement them you WILL see results. Just the way she simplified decluttering changed things for me in a big way. Just like she explains - I was always about efficiency. Come to find out that's what was ruining my progress. I was always making a bigger mess instead of progress.

Perfect for the active or recovering slob
I am a recovering slob and as any recovering slob knows; it’s a process.
Dana White has written a practical, candid, and sincere guide to managing your mess daily. It is written by a slob for a slob and as such really gets how the slob brain works. What I like best about this book is that it calls me out on my own hangups in a meaningful way, without being condescending or chastising.
I love listening as I do my 5 minute pick up or tackle a pile dishes and laundry!
Thanks Dana!
