    I started listening to this episode as I drove to work, and was thinking “Dana is SO GREAT!” You really understand some of the odd twists and turns of my thoughts. You nailed it when you talked about avoiding tasks that are associated with a project, for fear of getting completely lost in the project. My projects and my need to clear a space are not as separate as I’d thought. I haven’t even heard this whole episode yet and am eager to learn any ways to keep from vanishing into the timeless zone of projects. I try to use timers, but often I just end up ignoring or snoozing them, even though I know I shouldn’t. It’s as if I’m a separate person once I get caught up in something that feels creative. I often avoid the work I love because I don’t trust myself to stop, even just to eat or sleep. It’s a constant struggle.

    Hi there. I’ve been working on the 28 day method and adding things in. The results have been remarkable. However, I just had obesity surgery and one of the side effects seems to be my sense of smell is now at superhero level. My house is getting under control, but it still smells slightly funky. Any ideas? Right now I wash my kitchen and bathroom floor on a weekly cycle and my oiled wood floors monthly (mostly because they have a multistep and time consuming cleaning process and I can’t use bleach or other cleaning agents on it). Am I not washing my floors enough? Do my carpets have smell? I’m at my wits end.

      Hi Mo, I had the same problem minus the surgery so here’s how I got rid of the funky smell; first air out the entire house by opening all the windows, second get your carpets + rugs + sofas (if material ones) professionally cleaned, then wash all your bedding & towels & smell your mattresses in case they hold the smell. Finally steam clean the curtains & throws & get rid of any clothing & clutter that you no longer need or wear. Clean under beds, furniture, appliances & use vinegar as a final rinse in your washing & use it to clean all the windows + bathroom’s. I know it sounds like a lot but do a bit at a time (it took me a month) now my house smells fresh!

    For that funky smell, I had boys and cleaning behind the toilet and up the backside of the bowl and tank really helped. It also helps to immediately toss water you use to steam vegetables, toss old vegetables and fruit, and scrub out trash cans.

    But the easiest is to always have some time during the day where you throw open the windows and let the fresh air in.

    When I was pregnant I had super hero strength smelling. I couldn’t be near a trash can or an opened fridge. I hope it calms down for you as I know the struggle is so real!
