204: Project Brain – The Good and the Bad Podcast

February 28, 2019 By Dana White | 4 Comments

  Sometimes using a different word to think of a task in your home can move you forward on making progress in your home. When that happens, use the different word. I have a Project Brain.

202: Letting People Into Your Home and In On Your Slob Secret

February 14, 2019 By Dana White | 5 Comments

  I'm answering questions about when it's okay to let people into the house, how to know when you're ready and your house is ready.

Cleaning up the Craft Room – A Reader’s Story

February 12, 2019 By Dana White | 7 Comments

I loved this recent story shared by Andrea over on my Facebook page:  I have a craft room where clean up has been neglected for a couple years, and where throwing "it" in became necessary.

Why (and How) I Don’t Use Emotions to Declutter

February 5, 2019 By Dana White | 28 Comments

I’ll start by explaining why I don’t use emotions as part of my decluttering process. I can’t use emotions to declutter because I’m emotional. I’d keep everything. Every baby sock, every book, every bottle of expired pain reliever. No matter if the baby sock was already too small when my bigfoot kid came out of the womb. That’s exactly … [Read more...]

Scared to take the Pet Plunge? Don’t be. #dontsweatyourpet

February 1, 2019 By Dana White | 38 Comments

This post is sponsored by Swiffer and Febreze! If you want to be fascinating, get a dog. Cinder thinks I'm the most interesting person on the planet. This is what I found when I left the bathroom. (I won't share the photo I could have taken a few minutes before.) She couldn't wait to see me. I'm also fascinating when I … [Read more...]
