This one is longer than usual. Feel free to listen at double speed! I’m answering a listener question about “how I do it all” and I’ve already thought of things I didn’t talk about that I should have!
The short answer is that I most don’t definitely don’t do it all, but the very long answer is what exactly I do and don’t do and how I decide what does and doesn’t get done. And how I decide what’s worth having someone else do.

2nd podcast on getting ready for guests (should have the links to the other things I mentioned)

Hi, Dana! I just emailed you this question late last night! Surely this is all some kind of crazy coincidence, or this is really meant to stop me in my tracks and make me learn from your experience. I’ve only been able to listen to the first fifteen minutes, but I’m really looking forward to listening to the rest during my “getting ready” time tomorrow morning. Thank you for all you do. You help lift up women (and men) all over the world.
Everyone’s has different challenges. I appreciate hearing the details of prioritizing in real life.
Hi Dana,
Just two short things.
I love the fact that you make time out for your friends. They are so precious and even when you’re busy they still get some time with you.
I love your longer podcasts. I get loads done. When one job is finished I just go onto the next.
Just dropping a quick note to say I love when your podcasts are longer than usual. It is super motivating to me when I listen to you so the longer the better. Thanks again
I had to laugh as I am a homeschooling mother of 9!
That said, your books and podcasts have helped me so much! I found the last fourth of this podcast to be really good encouragement!
I’m glad you’re able to structure your job around your family and even friends, at times. I hadn’t wondered what you did all day but I was surprised how much time a blog post takes. Fwiw, podcasts are my favorite! Feels like I’m listening to a friend talk over coffee even though I’m just doing the dishes or laundry while listening!
Thanks for all of the encouragement and laughter!
Thanks so much for sharing your days and thoughts with us. You truly are a blessing. I look forward to hearing you each week. It’s helpful to know more of your thought processes and planning behind your work. <3
Just wanted to say that you are FANTASTIC!! Thank you thank you thank you for all that you do! Found your site a few weeks ago, got your Decluttering at the speed of life (so good), been listening to your podcasts. I just always thought I was so lacking in these areas, and your explanations and willingness to put it out there is so wonderful and so appreciated. Will be getting your other book! Also- dishes have been done each day (quite the accomplishment here), and I’m making progress on some decluttering. Thank you again!
You are AMAZING! I wish you’d been doing this 50 years ago, when I was a young mother…even though you weren’t born yet!😁 Your information is invaluable. You’re even teaching an old dog new tricks.
You’ll never regret putting your family & The Lord first! You are truly a very special woman! God bless you & your precious family.
I tried your process almost a year ago but gave up. The reason it didn’t work for me at the time was THIS. I was trying to do things at the wrong time for me. NOW, I declutter/clean 2-3 times a day (quietly at 2 am is my biggest chunk of time and energy) I spent much of my younger years working night shift; I need to go with what works. I am not motivated at 7 AM. Ever.
