NOTE: The e-reader version of my book (Kindle, Nook, iBooks, etc.) is on sale for $1.99 in August! Go here for direct links! 

If you’ve been around a while, you know I take summers off from regular blogging and podcasting. I’m simply not capable of throwing myself fully into both mothering and blogging so I choose mothering during these fleeting summers I have with my kids. But never fear, I have some suggestions for you if you fear going into withdrawal!

Before I share those suggestions, though, see if any of my upcoming speaking dates are in your area! I would LOVE to meet you at one of them! (Fill out this form so I can let you know of ones specifically in your area.)

Upcoming Public Speaking Engagements:

August 2, 2017 – 6 pm Encino Library, San Antonio, TX

August 3, 2017 – 6:30pm Pruitt Library, San Antonio, TX

September 29-30, 2017 – Pinners Conference & Expo Dallas, TX –

October 6-7 – Pinners Conference & Expo Phoenix, AZ –

HowToManageCover_CVR

How to Manage Your Home without Losing Your Mind is not your traditional cleaning and organizing book. In it, I teach you which the reality-based strategies and hard-learned lessons I’ve learned through my own deslobification process.

I hear from people ALL the time who are shocked that they read the whole thing straight through and actually enjoyed it. My two main goals when I wrote it were that it NOT be boring, and that it truly be helpful. Go read the reviews to see what people are saying about it. 

As you work on your own cleaning routines, bring your kids in on the fun/misery.

If you feel clueless on how to go about doing that, you might want to pick up a copy of my e-book, Teaching Kids to Clean.

You can also browse posts on this subject here. (For free!)

How to Teach Kids to Clean

Read ASlobComesClean.com backwards.

See in “real time” the changes and struggles and successes and failures and re-starts of my deslobification process.

My Get Started page explains how to do read backwards for free, or if you want to read offline, you can purchase a year at a time, or the first three years together as a set for $25 in e-book form.

Have you ever watched my YouTube videos? There are a lot of them here, or you can go over to YouTube and watch there. Here’s a playlist of my favorite ones where I play various characters trying to unload their junk on Nony.

Avoiding clutter!!! at ASlobComesClean.com

What about podcasts? I explain here (both in video and written-out-with-lots-of-photos form) exactly how to go about listening to a podcast. Podcasts are a lot like radio that you can listen to on demand, either on or off wifi.

It will be like I’m there with you while you’re working on your house. Except that I’ll actually be at the pool.

Keep Up via Email

My plan is to send a newsletter weekly. Sign up for my email list here. That way you won’t miss a thing when/if I do put out new content over the summer!

    Hi, Dana.

    While I was reading your newsletter, “Do You Get Distracted When You Declutter,” I thought to myself ” I should buy her book! Wait a minute! I bought her book! Tsk. I’ll never find it in this pile of junk! (my house). ”

    I log onto Amazon and look up your book “How to Manage Your Home Without Losing Your Mind”. At the top of the screen, it says, “You bought this item on October 6th, 2016″. Sigh.

    So, I have most books in one horrible, dusty yucky mess. But, I decide what the heck. Take a cursory glance. Your book was in the second small pile (three books each) I checked!

    I saw the cover and said to my self ” aw..even the plate looks sticky” Guess what? It was MY stickiness! My dusty yucky mess!

    I’m glad I found the book.

    Thanks for everything,

    Devoted Fan, Ursula

    Happy dance! I just finished/caught up… and probably good for me that it’s during your dark season! Well, I still have many podcasts to go, so maybe I’ll get my Nony fix that way. I’m definitely going to have to buy your book now – I lived what you said about reading it first so that I can truthfully say it’s good ( I mean, I know you are, but I want to be honest and all…). I’ve known my share of kindred spirits in our club and I’m trying to decide who this would be well received by… Thank you for sharing your insights of, appreciation for and work arounds for these creative, logic-of-their-own brains.
    My own story reflects yours in many ways… “things will change later”, clutter guilt, clutter value, so MANY decisions (!), fits and starts and fascinations with systems I promptly forgot, etc. I actually didn’t stumble across your blog until after my husband and I began to have some sucess with some mutual agreements over basic chores- we set up some basic guidelines of who would do what-I’d wash at night, he’d put them away in the mornings (we are dishwasherless and this keeps us from spending tons of time on drying and then me being skeeved out that mold and other yuckies will grow in less than perfectly dried stacked dishes) and vice versa the nights I work night shift. We had inadvertantly stumbled upon your number one: Do The Dishes! It is now fairly routine, and I now have time, admidst a 6 and 3 year old during the days and senior care a couple nights a week, to make progress on the rest of the house and I decided against homeschooling through the summer in order to focus on having a functional home and having kids who understand routine (how long do fights over getting dressed in the morning go on for?!?). Thank you for giving me more strategies that make sense to ME! Ooo, and also, I recently came accross the “Getting Things Done” system, from which the concept of Do it now! (For two minute tasks) is from. The author of the book is David Allen and he has a podcast I am working my way through too, and his guests so far have been talking about routines and habits and our brains, once refrencing a book I read a few years ago (The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Busines)… This feels like such an awesome coalescence of some fabulous ideas! Thank you for being a big part of this ling in coming brainstorm!

    I have finally worked my way from the beginning and can only say that you are an inspiration. Early on I adopted your dishes every night and, since there’s only two of us, I start a load each morning that I can at least half fill the washer. It goes into the dryer when I get home from work and is folded and put away that night. I am still working on seeing clutter instead of being habituated to it. Tomorrow is the day I have decided to start decluttering my kitchen. Started because there is far more than I can do in one day. You’d never believe how much stuff can be crammed into a 10 x 5 kitchen that includes all the usual appliances plus a washer. Thanks for having the courage to put yourself out on your blog and help so many of us that struggle. I hope you come to the Washington DC area in the not too distant future. I think you’d get a great reception since all five copies of your book in the county library system are checked out and some are already reserved for the next reader.

A Slob Comes Clean is the completely honest (and never-ending) story of my deslobification process. As I find ways to keep my home under control, I share the truth about cleaning and organization methods that actually work for a real-life slob. And I'm funny.
