Traditional organizing advice never worked for Dana K. White. Is it possible, she wondered, to get organized without color coding my sock drawer? As Dana let go of the need for perfection, she discovered the joy of having an organized house in the midst of everyday life.
In Organizing for the Rest of Us, Dana teaches us how to make great strides with minimal effort in organizing every room of our home. Here she offers 100 organizing tips to help us understand:
- Why changing how we think about clutter is the first step to getting rid of it
- The basics of organization for people who don't like to organize
- Why you need to get a grip on laundry and dishes before getting organized
- How living with less clutter is better for the environment, our spiritual lives, and our relationships
- Why real-life decluttering requires fewer hours and less emotional bandwidth than we imagined
Fans of Dana's podcast, A Slob Comes Clean, which has been downloaded 7 million times, will treasure this book as a resource. With her lighthearted approach, Dana provides bite-size workable solutions to break through every organizational struggle you have--for good!

Say goodbye to clutter, reduce stress, and live simply with this
easy-to-use guide to downsizing!
Whether you are selling your family home, blending households into a
new home, or cleaning out your aging parents' home, sorting through a
lifetime's worth of accumulated possessions can be a daunting and
stressful experience. Decluttering guru Peter Walsh recently went
through the process of downsizing his childhood home and dividing his
late parents' possessions among his family. He realized that making
these decisions about mementos and heirlooms creates strong emotions
and can be an overwhelming chore.
In Let It Go, Peter will help you turn downsizing into a rejuvenating
life change with his useful tips and practical takeaways, including how
to:
- Understand the emotional challenges that accompany downsizing
- Establish a hierarchy of mementos and collectibles
- Calculate the amount of stuff you can bring into your new life
- Create strategies for dividing heirlooms among family members without
drama
This new phase brings unexpected freedoms and opportunities, and Peter
walks you through every step of the process. You'll feel freer and
happier than you ever thought possible once you Let It Go.
