Dana White's anecdotes of her personal trials, failures, and tribulations will resonate with any reader who just-can't-cope. It's non-judgmental and uber-messy people will feel seen. The not-so-messy folks will have a sympathetic understanding of what may underlie their friend's or family member's inability to keep semi-tidied up and able to discard the clutter. The author really is accomplished in writing amusing anecdotes to explain how to approach overwhelming messes.

However, I'm partly on the same page as "Octal" (check out his post down below at Jan 1, 2021). This 2016 book is indeed terribly repetitive and maybe reflects the author's learning curve on writing style. Where was the insightful editor? Reiterating previously-made advice undermines the impact of her philosophy. Her Decluttering at the Speed of Life effectively made similar points on decluttering, and was a very constructive narrative in managing clutter in a busy life.… (meer)

This is the author's personal journey - a before and after book with some instruction on how to get between the two. Only thing is, it was too close to home - eerily so, cringe worthily so.

Because of this trauma, I can only listen in 5 min batches, so I've had to borrow the book a few times.

I have been the author in her 'before' stage. I have made some tiny steps on my own before her 'tell all' book, towards the 'after'.

She is offering me a path - I want to follow.

I am ready to follow.

Super helpful, practical advice. I really appreciated White hammering on the distinction between decluttering and organizing. The thrust of the book is that decluttering is mostly about mindset, rather than process, is especially valuable to me. Not to disparage her process. The writing is clear and authentic, and the book is well organized, although she is at her best when she stops trying to be funny.

I have read this book at least 3 times in one month. I know she gets this a lot, but she totally understands the way that my brain works. "Slob vision" is a thing! If you have trouble with getting stuff out of your home, are over your "clutter threshold," this is the book for you. It was a great book for me.
