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.

Story
If you’re struggling to stay on top of your to-do list, you probably have a good reason: anxiety, fatigue, depression, ADHD, or lack of support. For therapist KC Davis, the birth of her second child triggered a stress-mess cycle. The more behind she felt, the less motivated she was to start. She didn’t fold a single piece of laundry for seven months. One life-changing realization restored her sanity—and the functionality of her home: You don’t work for your home; your home works for you.

Story
It's not you; it's your schedule. Does it sound like magic? It's not. We've all heard of circadian rhythms - those biological processes that give us jet lag and make us night owls or early birds. But few of us know just how profoundly these diurnal patterns affect our overall health. Bad habits - like skipping meals, squeezing in workouts, working late into the night and then trying to catch up on sleep during the weekend - disrupt our natural cycles. A growing body of research on chronobiology reveals just how sensitive the human body is to these rhythms all the way down to the genetic level.

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.

If you don’t let people in your house or have to think about what angle you take cherished pictures of your children from to avoid shots of clutter, Dana is your guru. I was naturally organized as a child but things got out of hand along the way. This book is a great starting point but I also recommend her podcast. I can’t wait to listen to her second book!!!!

A fresh and genuine perspective on decluttering!
Dana has broken down the concept for decluttering into basic, manageable steps for anyone who might struggle with maintaining a home where things are easy to find and just as easy to put away!
Dana’s honest and down to earth approach to decluttering is one that can be adopted by those who have struggled with excess in their homes.

can I just say, I listened to this entire audio book as soon as possible. I related so much to every single moment, every "logical thinking" situation.
but she tells you like it is. if you don't want the truth and want to stay in the fantasy, then don't listen to this book. but if you want real results... wash your dishes, and also read/listen to this book.
