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:

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 normally stick to Romance novels. However, I decided to veer of the trail a little and read this book and I was startled to find out how much I love this book. It was incredibly insightful and very relatable. It definitely allowed me to clear my space without regret or anxiety. I would definitely recommend this book.

    I grew up with a mom that was a hoarder. Plus my parents owed a second-hand/ Antique store. Our home had trails. My sisters 3 plus me. All are clutterers at different levels. So I loved this book so much I bought one for each of us. I'm scared to send it to my oldest sister.

    Dana, even though the book isn't out yet, please, oh please consider an audio version. I'm in the habit of listening to audiobooks as I tackle the obstacles and challenges in my life. I don't have time to read- I'm too busy cleaning and declutttering!
