Eliminate the clutter and discover the joy of having your house organized with simple, realistic strategies that work for normal people.

So you want to keep your kitchen counter clean, but you aren't ready to toss the toaster? You want to be able to find your kids' socks but aren't looking to spend your 401(k) on clear bins? You long for a little more peace, but minimalism isn't sparking joy? Discover 100 practical, doable tips to organize, declutter, and manage your home.

Traditional organizing advice never worked for decluttering expert and self-proclaimed recovering slob Dana K. White. Is it possible, she wondered, to get organized without colour coding my sock drawer? As Dana let go of the need for perfection, she discovered the joy of having an organized house in the midst of everyday life. You can too!

  • Why changing how we think about clutter is the first step to getting rid of it
  • How living with less stuff is better for the environment, our spiritual lives, and our relationships
  • The simple yet life-changing tactic that is the container concept

  • Doing spring cleaning (or cleaning during any season)
  • Making New Year's resolutions
  • Downsizing your own home or your parents' home
  • Decluttering and organizing for your own peace of mind

About the Author

Dana K. White is a blogger, podcaster, speaker, and (much to her own surprise) a decluttering expert. She taught both English and theatre arts before leaving her job to make her family her life's work. In an attempt to get her home under control, Dana started blogging as "Nony" (short for anonymous) at A Slob Comes Clean. Dana soon realized she was not alone in her housekeeping struggles and in her feelings of shame. Today, Dana shares realistic home management strategies with her signature humor and a message of hope for the hopelessly messy through her blog, weekly podcasts, and videos. Dana lives with her husband and three kids just outside of Dallas, Texas.
