Bring your home out of the mess it's inâ??and learn how to keep it under control! Housekeeping expert Dana K. White shares reality-based cleaning and organizing techniques that will help you learn what really works.

Do you experience heart palpitations at the sound of an unexpected doorbell? Do you stare in bewilderment at your messy home, wondering how in the world it got this way again? You're not alone. But there is hope for you and your home.

Managing your home isn't an all-or-nothing approach, and Dana has broken down the most critical things that you'll need to do to keep up with the housework. With understanding, honesty, and her trademark humor, Dana shares her field-tested strategies including:

  • Exactly where to start to tame the chaos

  • How to gain traction in your quest for a manageable home
  • Practical tips you can implement and immediately to declutter huge amount of stuff with minimal emotional drama

    Praise from Readers:

    "This book lays out the hard truths of a clean house but in a way that doesn't make me feel silly for not having embraced them before."

    "Dana leads you step-by-step with the heart of a woman who has been there and struggled with the same issues you are currently struggling with. Really, this is a must read for anyone who wants to learn the secrets that all those organized types seem to know."

    "I felt like a failure already. Did I really need to read yet another book full of tips and tricks that would leave me feeling worse? From the first page, I was put at ease."

    Get ready to say goodbye to the stacks of dirty dishes crowding your kitchen counters, conquer the never-ending piles of laundry, and stop tripping over clutter on your living room floor as Dana helps you discover what works for you, for your unique personality, and in your unique… (más)

    Dana White's anecdotes of her personal trials, failures, and tribulations will resonate with any reader who just-can't-cope. It's non-judgmental and uber-messy people will feel seen. The not-so-messy folks will have a sympathetic understanding of what may underlie their friend's or family member's inability to keep semi-tidied up and able to discard the clutter. The author really is accomplished in writing amusing anecdotes to explain how to approach overwhelming messes.

    However, I'm partly on the same page as "Octal" (check out his post down below at Jan 1, 2021). This 2016 book is indeed terribly repetitive and maybe reflects the author's learning curve on writing style. Where was the insightful editor? Reiterating previously-made advice undermines the impact of her philosophy. Her Decluttering at the Speed of Life effectively made similar points on decluttering, and was a very constructive narrative in managing clutter in a busy life. ( )

    Pretty much everything she said, was exactly what I say/do/have happen on a nearly daily basis. I am glad to know that it is not only me that thinks this way. Great tips, and I have started implementing them already. Thank you! ( )

    This was a reread for me, in part inspired by the struggle of a younger relative who just lost her mother, and will soon have to move from her home. It's funny, rueful, instructive, understanding, and simple. I could use some of that. ( )

    Honestly lowkey a very good writing advice book too, if you, like I, want to get galaxy brained about it. Quick read, h/t DRM's discord.

    This book is pretty repetitive and about 80% longer than it needed to be, but did express a three worthwhile ideas. One, that some people view cleaning as a "project" and thus let things pile up to the point that it's basically insurmountable (and everything is dirty/cluttered in between), and second that there are compounding effects to cleaning, and third that outside constraints (size of containers, etc.) can be useful as forcing functions to minimize clutter. There's basically no useful information about optimized cleaning methods (the book seems to claim these are not factors, and that searching for these are in fact counterproductive ways to procrastinate, but there are definitely ways to improve efficiency) or anything else; it's more a chatty discourse about the author's view of cleaning. Sort of an anti-Marie Kondo, a book which I also disliked. ( )
