So you want to keep your kitchen counter clean but you aren't ready to toss the toaster? You want to be able to find your kids' socks but aren't looking to spend your 401(k) on clear bins? You long for a little more peace but minimalism isn't sparking joy? Decluttering expert and self-proclaimed recovering slob Dana K. White offers sustainable ideas to simplify and manage your home in Organizing for the Rest of Us. 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 Organizing for the Rest of Us includes colorful photos, a presentation page, and a ribbon marker, making it a thoughtful gift or self-purchase for anyone: Doing spring cleaning Making New Year's goals Downsizing their own home or their parents' home Decluttering and organizing for their own peace of mind Fans of Dana's podcast, A Slob Comes Clean, which has been downloaded 7 million times, will treasure this book as a resource.

Quick read. Appreciate White‘s perspective on clutter and cleaning. I‘ve always been an organized, neat, and clean master of my domain, but I got married to a man who struggles with clutter. He likes clean and neat, and he likes the idea of minimalism, but achieving that goal is really hard for him. I‘m hoping White‘s ideas may resonate with him. Need to ease him into her mindset, most importantly her Container Concept🧺🧽🫧

If you are a reader of Dana‘s first two books you are going to recognize her core principles reappear in this one. What I like about this book though is that it takes her concepts and breaks them down with specific examples in the form of the 100 strategies. She is down to earth and her writing is very approachable. I like listening to her audiobooks as I clean and even did so with this one. #BookSpinBingo

Today I Learned that Dana K. White has another book coming out in January! Also that hoarding is a book category 😂 I love her and her first 2 books especially if you have Adhd or otherwise neurodivergent brain that makes cleaning/organizing difficult.

5 stars. I got this arc on NetGalley and was so excited because I have all her books. This one is a quick rehash of her other two but is almost like a QuickStart guide. I will buy it. If you struggle with housework and decluttering and NOTHING has worked she probably will. This is for those of us who just don‘t think like other people.
