Decluttering at the Speed of Life: Winning Your Never-Ending Battle with Stuff

Description

You don't have to live overwhelmed by stuff--you can get rid of clutter for good! Decluttering expert Dana White identifies the emotional challenges that make it difficult to declutter and provides workable solutions to break through and make progress.

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.

In Decluttering at the Speed of Life, decluttering expert and author Dana White identifies the mindsets and emotional challenges that make it difficult to declutter. In her signature humorous approach, she provides workable solutions to break through these struggles and get clutter out--for good!

Not only does Dana provide strategies, but she dives deep into how to implement them, no matter the reader's clutter level or emotional resistance to decluttering. She helps identify procrasticlutter--the stuff that will get done eventually so it doesn't seem urgent--as well as how to make progress when there's no time to declutter.

In Decluttering at the Speed of Life, Dana's chapters cover:

  • Why You Need This Book (You Know Why)
  • Your Unique Home
  • Decluttering in the Midst of Real Life
  • Change Your Mind, Change Your Home
  • Breaking Through Your Decluttering Delusions
  • Working It Out Room by Room
  • Helping Others Declutter

As long as we're living and breathing, new clutter will appear. The good news is that by following Dana's advice, decluttering will get easier, become more natural, and require significantly fewer hours, less emotional bandwidth, and little to no sweat to keep going.

I’ve listened to Dana’s podcast, a slob comes clean, for a while now and this book is essentially an extended episode! I really appreciate how clear Dana’s advice is and how easy it is to build cleaning motivation. As someone who is/has never been a clean person I really appreciate all the tips and tricks Dana offers. I wasn’t planning to declutter while listening, but it’s hard not to!

This is my 20th decluttering/ home-organization book, so I'm a bit of an expert in them. Too bad I'm still not a decluttering expert! I'll up to a 5 if I get my house more decluttered soon. She's philosophically right about a lot though.

Great audio book to listen to while cleaning the house! I’m currently applying her methods and it’s eye opening for me.
