Even if you do your dishes every day clean your kitchen floor do read this book.
It is for readers who are not very organised.
If you need ideas to organise your closet and how to make your house Pinterest worthy than this book is not for you.

I have loved listening to this book, I have been following all of Dana's advice for 4 weeks and it's working! I am no longer overwhelmed, I get things done and when I don't, I know how to get back on track without letting it suffocate me into doing nothing. I'd recommend this to anyone, but especially people suffering depression or anxiety who are struggling to keep on top of even the most basic household tasks. Dana will show you the way 💕

Great book. Found chapter 31 good. Really helps you get a starting point. It's true the more you do, the more you want to carry on, once you start. Found book helpful.

Love listening to this as a follow up to Decluttering at the Speed of Life . The 'instructions' are clear, and they work!
All I hear, when I'm faltering is "just do the dishes" - I started with the podcasts 6 months ago and this has become my mantra, now my kitchen looks amazing and rarely get out of control. Realistic in it's approach, but with strategies that work, this is highly recommended for anyone needing to get some order in their home; just listen while you start on the dishes, that's what I did!

Funny, Informative & Helpful

Fab. I have adhd and often feel overs. Dana describes my life, difficulties and thought processes to a ‘T’. Helpful and digestible. I’ve made a start. So far, so good……….

Wow, it’s like listening to my own struggles!

Dana K White is a very funny writer and podcast broadcaster
. Her tone is encouraging and humble. Her goals realistic and simple.

My home may never be magazine worthy, but my mind is no longer overwhelmed and anxious, which is most important.

This is not a book full of technical checklists and exhaustive plans. I think it's better for it. I'll listen to this again and again while I'm cleaning or decluttering.

I'm so glad, too that the author read the book. Her voice is lovely both here, and on her podcast.

A funny and realistic coaching session for failed housewives

This surprising find reminds you that action is at the core of success when it comes to housework, but it also offers sensible strategies to deal with the emotional debris that gets in the way. Beautifully read by the author herself it is full of wisdom and common sense.

Wonderfully simple
