Another hit by Dana K White!

I love all Dana's books and have her other physical books. This one pushes me to continue decluttering and reminds me of what she's already taught me lol Thanks Dana!

Must read

Great new ideas to try and share with my family and friends. Put this book on your must read list.

This elephant is actually edible

This book works for they way I think and work. So glad I found it!

not 100% applicable, but definitely worth a listen

Since I live alone, some of her tips, as she lives with a family, aren't applicable to me. Most of them, though, are so great and so simple that it was definitely an inspiring listen. I feel like I can get my house a little more comfortable, definitely a little more spacious, and more enjoyable. I know we're all promised "a few simple things will change everything," but sometimes they really do. I've already started cleaning and decluttering, because that's what I do when I listen to these kinds of books, and it's already making a difference. Here's to better habits.

Just plain awesome, you won't regret it!

I loved it, bite sized tips and just from total different perspective from those "magic" organize your home today that never works for me. This book is gold. Go listen to it now! Thanks Dana for writing and recording this !
