Why Cleaning Felt Impossible: The Whats, Whys, and Hows of Every Angle of Decluttering

by Dana K. White

Do you wish a decluttering expert could come alongside you to help tackle specific roadblocks that always derail your decluttering journey? Dana K. White, self-proclaimed recovering slob and author of Organizing for the Rest of Us and Decluttering at the Speed of Life, is here to help with her original audio series, Decluttering Deep Dives.

Each installment of Decluttering Deep Dives covers a frequent problem that Dana hears about from her readers and listeners. Featuring Dana’s signature light-hearted voice and approachable tactics, Why Cleaning Felt Impossible dives into these common struggles:

Fighting to get your house clean and not being able to keep it that way
Shoving everything in closets, rooms (with doors that lock!), and junk drawers in a desperate attempt to keep your stuff under control
Moving stuff around but never getting it organized
Cleaning for hours without actually making progress on the mess (or even getting to the point of picking up a cleaner)
Fans of Dana’s podcast, A Slob Comes Clean, will love Dana’s in-depth conversation filled with workable solutions for you to make your space the peaceful, organized home you need and want.

Super quick and raw account of how a woman couldn’t keep her house I’m under control and what she learned on how to change it.
“Moving things around is not cleaning”
Was probably the best topic.
Until you address your possessions, nothing will change.

No new info here from her books but a good refresher

I love how honest this author is about her struggles with her home and keeping it under control. She does a great job of simplifying the strategies while also giving real world examples of how to apply them. I would suggest any of this author’s books/audiobooks for anyone who wants to learn more about the mentality of decluttering in a simple bit humorous way!

3/3.5 stars. An interesting discussion with helpful reminders. These are all on hoopla, which is nice to just borrow.

I don’t think moving things around justices as cleaning and decluttering.
