I met Myquillyn a few years ago when she invited me to be an author at her Nest Fest event. She's as nice as she seems online. We talk about decorating and organizing and decluttering and my fears of cute displays turning into piles of random clutter. I like her because … Read More Decluttering: Looking Good Isn’t Enough September 21, 2020 By Dana White 8 Comments For the past two Christmases, I've bought color coded charging cords for each member of my family. The first year I got six foot cords, and last year I went wild and got the ten footers. Somehow, cord-borrowing and cord-losing still happens, but it's better. These are good quality cords, and they seem to last better than any others we've … Read More 262: Blending Organizing Styles (and more) Podcast September 17, 2020 By Dana White Leave a Comment In today's podcast, I discuss: Finding the balance between how the members of the household like things to be.

I know this is a strange time for groups, as we're trying … Read More 261: Measuring Progress, Measuring Success Podcast September 10, 2020 By Dana White 4 Comments Schoolwork gets a grade. Losing weight causes a measurable change in the number on the scale. But sometimes it's hard to measure decluttering success. Or to measure how much your home has improved due to daily habits. Today, I'm talking about ways to measure your success in your home so you can inspire yourself to keep working! My … Read More Laundry Day is a Container September 7, 2020 By Dana White 4 Comments I LOVE this email from one of you. Such a great way to apply the Container Concept to different situations! I NEVER write emails to authors or bloggers, but I had to write to you, and thank you. I am a teacher-turned-homeschooler. I always thought when I stopped working full time and stayed home with my two kids that my house would be tidy and … Read More 260: Rethinking Organizing Podcast September 3, 2020 By Dana White 2 Comments One of my biggest strategies is to let yourself "just declutter" in order to get started and make progress in your home immediately. And decluttering achieves the purpose I was looking for when I thought I needed to "get organized." But there is value in organizing. And I've been thinking about it (and talking about it) a lot in my real life … Read More 259: The Thing About Maintenance Podcast August 27, 2020 By Dana White 2 Comments Maintenance. It feels pointless and impossible when there's so much that needs to be done FIRST! But maintenance, even when the house is in shambles, is the key to making maintainable progress. Really. I'm talking about the parallels between my recent gardening (jungle-recovery) efforts and when I first started my deslobification process. Sign … Read More Finishing the Project = Decluttering August 26, 2020 By Dana White 11 Comments As we've been cooped up in our home, I've been thankful for the outside space we have. As we've spent more time outside, I've put a little more work into our yard. I saved up and bought a new outdoor dining set after eating many Spring of 2020 backyard dinners on a folding table and the same metal patio chairs I sat on as a toddler. But I … Read More Older Posts Primary Sidebar Sign Up for Our Newsletter!
