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 listener'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.

Amazing!!

I love this book. I think it's my most listened to book on Audible, I've been finding I end up listening to it once every other month or so to reset my outlook on getting my home together.

The way Dana lays out her system for decluttering is simple, easy to follow, and most importantly, gets results. I truly believe this is because Dana fully admits she is not, by nature, an organized person. She fully admits that she is a recovering slob, and that is exactly what I (a fellow, trying-to-recover slob) needed.

Dana addresses a multitude of problems and has a solution to them, just be open to listening to the explanations the whole way through, there's a lot of tough love in this book. There were a few spots in the book where I definitely got a little wound up, but listening to Dana explain everything the entire way through has definitely helped me change my ways.

After listening to the first few chapters and getting the method down, I went about decluttering the entryway to my home. In 2 hours I made more progress there than many, many previous attempts, where I would sometimes spend the entire weekend trying to figure out how to manage it, and my entryway is now beautiful! I'm so excited to keep up the momentum of decluttering my home, and I truly could not have done it without this book.

Entertaining and helpful.

The narrator is very easy to listen to. I played this on bluetooth headphones or a speaker while doing dishes, folding laundry, or decluttering! 😁 She is realistic and eye opening. Great if you have lots, or a little clutter. Lifestyle changer for sure. Let her advise soak into your everyday choices on belongings. I listened a year ago and will start it over today while I get cracking on house work.

Very helpful

I am on a decluttering kick at home and I found the book very helpful in how to strategize and not get overwhelmed. How to make decisions about what to keep and what to throw and the message was very reasonable. 😊

My house is truly mine again!

My house is truly mine again! this book inspired but more importantly guided me to purge excess things in my home that didn't make me happy. its repetitive in parts but that's because you need to hear the steps over and over so you don't forget when you tackle the next room in your house! #Audible1

Thank you for writing this book!

I love the funny and sensitive approach to saying straight forward logical advice- I implemented so many of these strategies and will listen to the book again in a few months to glean even more.

Just. Wow.

I can’t even tell you how many decluttering books I’ve read/listened to/“re-read”... and still nothing ever really sunk in or “took”..and You’d think if you’ve read one, you’ve read them all...but this one really is different. I could *so* relate to this author-I, too, am a ‘creative’ and always see the *potential* in things...things that other people would just be like “wth?” And all these dreams of what I “could potentially do”or had “been meaning to do”-but (duh) even years later “never DID”..yet I was collecting stuff ‘just in case I did’...ugh) The container rule? {MIND BOWN} ... I have tons of audiobooks I never finished (I know, shocker!) ..but really, THIS ONE? I Read it twice in a row and I guarantee that won’t be the last time. TRULY..you won’t be disappointed ..it’s a must read for anyone needing to declutter and not have a bigger mess than when you started!

The ONLY book that has ever helped

This is the most helpful book/audiobook that I have ever purchased! I love Dana’s sense of humor in approaching such a sensitive subject for me. She is here in the trenches with us fighting her way through the mini mountains of stuff that choke our homes, our family, and our psyche. Her straight forward and easy steps helped me get past the overwhelming beginning. Her self deprecating humor helped me out of the weeds when I started to hit sensitive areas. And her reiteration of the process helped me to remember the basic steps when dealing with a complex mess. Her narration is so charming that I felt more like I was chatting with my best friend than being taught how to unburden my house from a mess of my own making. Every day I wake up and put on my earbuds and listen to her cheer me on while I find a new area to make livable and beautiful. The Audible version of the book makes the most sense for me because I want to listen to her while I am working on my house, picking up and chauffeuring kids, and running errands.
I highly recommend this book before reading her first book about how to manage your house. After decluttering, managing housework is so much easier and less stressful. Thank you Dana!

I wish I had this book 40 years ago

I've had a huge problem with clutter since I was a teenager. I had a hard time throwing things away for a variety of reasons. Sometimes the clutter would paralyze me. My mom tried to help me to get organized and would encourage me to throw a few things out, but the emphasis was on organization of my clutter, not decluttering. This book makes it crystal clear that organizing is not as powerful as decluttering. I now have a once-a-week de-cluttering afternoon along with my five minute pickups each day. I really wish I had this book 40 years ago. Best audiobook I've listened to in 3 years.

The best decluttering book out there

I love Dana’s approach and wit. And this system works! I highly recommend this book for people who aren’t automatically tidy or who wake up one day surrounded by clutter. Honest, funny and good to the bone!

Awesome & Helpful

First off, I’ve never listened to an author read a book that was any good, but Dana was exceptional!!! If she ever decides to quit her blogging/writing, she could earn a living reading audio books. I would look for her ,that’s how good she was.

Secondly, I went into this book thinking it wasn’t really possible to change the way I think about my stuff, and finally get some things out of our home. I was wrong! I’m in the beginning stages, but I’m walking around my home for the first time ever and looking at it as a container. Dana has given me the permission I need to throw away and donate stuff instead of just figure out how to reorganize the stuff we have spilling out everywhere.

The book was extra interesting because of her own personal examples. I guess it seemed doable compared to those super neat freak women that want to tell you how to to fix your home. Thanks Dana! You’re my new hero.🌷

Read this book for emotional support

The story behind this book is what drives the book. If you have trouble with the clutter in your life, and need support as you work through it, this book may be of some assistance. However, this book breaks down into some very simple rules that could easily have been summarized in a blog post. True, following the steps will probably help you de-clutter your life, but if following the step is all you need to do, then the cliff's notes would be a better choice for you than this book. If support is what you are seeking, this book has some of the personal stories and understanding that you may need to be able to hear the steps and begin working towards a healthier, cleaner lifestyle. It also has repetition. Lots of repetition. It's designed in such a way that if you are not going to write down the steps and begin working, then by the end of the book by gosh you will have the steps fairly well memorized.

Anxiety, released!

You know when you know you need to do something, but you just need/want someone to tell you to do it? And you do want to start, but you don't know how? Dana's book helped me past this paralyzed state. I also welcomed the ideas of recognizing the difference among cleaning, organizing, and decluttering. All very different. I have already begun to o declutter my home, and it feels oh so liberating.

Love this book!

I never thought I’d write a glowing review about a de-cluttering book yet here I am. LOVE this book! Fantastic analogies, heartfelt understanding and realistic tips! Plus, it’s funny! I’ve read several books on de-cluttering but this book is by far the best!

Id recommend reading or listening to her first book as a prelude.

Author makes an excellent reader

Any additional comments?

It seems natural to assume that an author, more than anyone else, is best suited to read aloud their own writing. After all, they are the ones who strung these words together to create sentences that turned into paragraphs, pages, then chapters. If you're an avid audiobook listener, though, you've realized this is often not the case. Surprising, isn't it? But "Decluttering at the Speed of Light" is an exception. I cringe at the thought of someone else reading these words, with their conversational style and underlying humor. Dana White's words are insightful on paper or read aloud, but her humor is largely achieved in her unique delivery. She is pitch perfect.
