READ BY THE AUTHOR. Listen while you organize in real time!

Eliminate the clutter and discover the joy of having your house organized with simple, realistic strategies that work for normal people.

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? Discover 100 practical, do-able tips to organize, declutter and manage your home.

Traditional organizing advice never worked for decluttering expert and self-proclaimed recovering slob 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. You can too!

In Organizing for the Rest of Us, Dana teaches you how to make great strides without losing your mind in organizing every room of your home. You'll find her 100 easy-to-read organizing tips invaluable, including:

  • Why you need to get a grip on laundry and dishes before getting organized
  • The basics of organization for people who don't like to organize
  • Why changing how we think about clutter is the first step to getting rid of it
  • How living with less stuff is better for the environment, our spiritual lives, and our relationships
  • The simple yet life-changing tactic that is the container concept

Organizing for the Rest of Us includes colorful, practical photos, a presentation page, and a ribbon marker, making it a thoughtful and useful gift or self-purchase if you are:

  • Doing spring cleaning (or cleaning during any season)
  • Making New Year's resolutions
  • Downsizing your own home or your parents' home
  • Decluttering and organizing for your own peace of mind

Fans of Dana's popular podcast, A Slob Comes Clean, will treasure this book as a timeless (and frequently revisited) resource. With her humorous, lighthearted, easy-to-follow approach, Dana provides bite-size, workable solutions to break through every organizational struggle you have--for good!

  • How to Manage Your Home Without Losing Your Mind

I agree with a previous review that if you have read all of the other books and listen to the podcasts/ watch YouTube videos there is nothing new to learn.

However I love that it’s got all of the steps in one place and it’s quick and succinct. Every nugget of information I have learnt is all in one place.

I like to play this whilst decluttering, picking up and cleaning. I find it reassuring in the moment when it all feels crazy to know that I know what to do. I’m literally being talked through the process as I’m doing it.

If you haven’t read the other books then this will give you a quick guide to all of the best bits without needing to read the background (which I love). You can jump straight into cracking on and improving your home.

Useful as a reference guide/recap if read other books

I have listened to all 3 of Dana's books (and love her on YouTube too). I think they are great I still feel decluttering at the speed of life is my favourite and has helped me the most. I have mostly got my home under control and didn't really NEED this one but I always find her hints/ideas will spur me on to go a level deeper or get another part of my life under control or help others to do that. Plus I just like the way she puts it/talks. This book I feel is like both books squished together which is just what most people need. But like she said if you do need more help read one of the other books.

Love Dana

I usually listened while doing the dishes and it always motivates me. I watch Dana on YouTube but having all of these tips in one place I found really helpful. I like Dana's style of delivery and find I am always given a boost by her awareness of reality and that there is no need for perfection.

Love this book for motivation
