    Hi Dana!

    I’m still listening. and still decluttering. I look forward to your podcasts every week as I tackle my dishes, laundry and other house chores. I’ve needed a huge break from social media and blogging to make room for some other things in my life for a while and so have been quietly enjoying your podcasts. I could not have been more surprised to hear you say ‘hi’ in this episode, I’d totally forgotten about that conversation. I hope your recovery from surgery speeds up and you feel 100% in time for summer.

    <3 Stella

    Good morning! I am not sure this is the appropriate place for my comment, ( I am new at this), but just wanted to share my sincere appreciation for your books and methods. When a close friend shared your book with me, I immediately reacted with “I have read all those books! These books are great but my problem is in my head, and I cannot seem to figure out what works for me or change my ways.” But I knew my friend was offering this with love as she knew how I struggle (to the point of tears) with clutter and housekeeping, so I agreed to read Decluttering at the Speed of Life. I immediately noticed your use of the word ‘Life’, not ‘Light’. One of the major roadblocks I struggle with is finding like huge blocks of time to devote to decluttering. Seems every time I get rolling good on this effort, here comes overnight guests or someone gets sick or there’s a death in the family! In other words, life happens! My desperate efforts involved dragging as much as possible into our master suite until the company left! And as you can guess, those piles could be ignored for months afterwards until I really had no idea what was in them. So, I guess it has been about three weeks or so ( you know we people do not have a good awareness of time), but I have been utilizing these ideas with success: doing the dishes daily, sweeping kitchen daily, developed a day of the week schedule for main rooms of our house, and doing laundry primarily on Monday. These concepts have helped me tremendously. And I feel I am among ‘my people’! Thank you, Dana!

    I just happened onto your site from an Aldi’s Facebook group who linked your feeding teenagers during the summer post. Never heard of your site but I am so glad I do now. I read the first post and then went to the current info as you suggested. The title to this podcast caught my attention and this very issue is the foundation of my problem. I always feel I need to try to sell my stuff and make some money where I don’t feel quite so guilty about purging things I bought and don’t use. I work a lot…a lot…and finding the time to create Ebay listings, selling on Facebook groups whatever…all takes time which I don’t have. I just need to let that idea go and just get it out of the house. I KNOW just this step would make my failed attempts to get organized become a reality. Thank you! I am going to keep digging around your site.

    Holy perfect timing!! I’m decluttering and had a hard time getting rid of some jewelry I could care less about. After listening to this podcast I tossed the jewelry into the bag, guilt free. I had moved these things around three times, could never part with them, then after you talked about how they put the little parts and pieces together- they deserved whatever tiny profit they may make from the jewelry. Thank you!!!

    When my kids were toddlers and outgrowing things quickly. I would throw a diaper pin on anything that needed to go in the donate box after being washed. School age, I kept a donate box available to them (and occasionally “the dryer ate it” things they wouldn’t let go of) Now things that need to be washed before donation go in a mesh bag to trigger my memory, “why is this in a bag?”
