Overwhelmed by your mess?
Not sure where (or how) to start?
You are not alone.
I've been there and I can help.
The Basics
Simple yet so effective - explore and see which you can try next:
I finally found someone who really understands me! I'm not the horrible person I had been believing I was. I just didn't know how to manage my stuff!
- A. Lin
Dana's methods are the only ones that have ever "clicked" with me; our brains think of clutter in similar ways. So if nothing else has worked for you, try her methods.
Dana's system changed my family's life- instead of constantly needing to go away on vacations to feel relaxed, we now feel and live like we are on vacation most of the time.
My Books
No fluff, just down-to-earth, super practical advice - and they're funny.
How to Manage Your Home without losing your mind
"Really, this is a must read for anyone who wants to learn the secrets that all those organized types seem to know." -Kimberlee S.
Decluttering at the Speed of Life
"If like me, you have ever looked at all your clutter and felt utter despair; had no idea where to start because it all looks far too daunting…buy this book."
- E.Meredith
Organizing for the rest of us
"...The tagline should read something like "The Best of Dana, in a concise, digestible, organized format," but "100 Realistic Strategies to Keep Any House Under Control" works also." - Gina W.
jesus doesn't care about your messy house
"This was the book I didn't know I needed. Dana's writing style is fun, but to the point. I loved that her faith shines through in this book." - Tammy F.
