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.

Is this woman living in my head??

Wow! I am so stunned right now.... How did she know I was thinking these thoughts? And why does this make so much sense? And why didn't I realize this was how to solve my clutter problem? I am so, SO happy I listened to this book! I have been following the thought processes mentioned in the book and.... things are improving... Slowly, but improving! If you are ready to declutter your life and open to some great advice from the author this is the book you have been waiting for!!

Real Talk

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.

life changing

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.
