From Dana: I love this story from one of you! It’s amazing how simple The Container Concept makes decluttering.
Dear Dana,
After my decades-long battle with clutter, you found the magic key that changed my life.Being the daughter, spouse, sibling, mother, and friend of people who couldn’t contain their clutter, I only knew their methods. I have searched through every possible method, and finally, your books inspired the lightbulb moment that changed everything.For years, I would tell people that I wanted a way to organize that was as easy as a well-labeled prop table, or as foolproof as a silverware holder. I now understand that I was looking for your definition of a container.I bought two of your books, as well as getting them on Audible (so you could cheer me on as I did my decluttering tasks) and I am using your methods to cut through the confusion.I am decluttering one item at a time, one Dana Question at a time, and my stress is quickly being changed into pride and focus.I’m a retired professor, widowed for a second time. I have been paralyzed by the grief, as well as the rooms and offices filled with stuff. Your logical and LOVING advice has given me a way to move ahead gently, without burden, and with hope.Thank you from the bottom of my heart (and the top of that next stack of papers.)Sincerely,V.
