A funny and realistic coaching session for failed housewives
Dana K White is a very funny writer and podcast broadcaster
. Her tone is encouraging and humble. Her goals realistic and simple.
My home may never be magazine worthy, but my mind is no longer overwhelmed and anxious, which is most important.
This is not a book full of technical checklists and exhaustive plans. I think it's better for it. I'll listen to this again and again while I'm cleaning or decluttering.
I'm so glad, too that the author read the book. Her voice is lovely both here, and on her podcast.

Wonderfully simple
This surprising find reminds you that action is at the core of success when it comes to housework, but it also offers sensible strategies to deal with the emotional debris that gets in the way. Beautifully read by the author herself it is full of wisdom and common sense.

A must read!
A brilliant reality check, it's OK to not have it all together! We are not alone but Dana is an amazing encouragement, cheerleader and now I have finished the book, I still hear her voice when I am sat in despair 'Go do the Dishes' 😊 I recommend to anyone who struggles with the hype around other ways to keep on top of your home! Dana is real, you will relate because it feels like your home and/or situation, my only tasks now? To keep doing my dishes and train my dog to do a 5 min pick up with his many many balls!!! Check it out, practical, funny and down to earth reality, Loved it and living it ...most....days because I am proud to say I am part of the 'slob comes clean' tribe.

This is 🙌🏼
Now, I’m pretty organised-ish! I purchased this thinking I needed it and elements of it I do! But as I said, I’m fairly organised. I’m also a cleaner, I clean in folks homes, I clean in organised homes, ‘normal’ 🤪 people’s homes and ‘slob’ homes! The slobs expect that all their daily tasks can be done by me in 2 hours once a week.... + clean their bathrooms and vacuum throughout! i can’t do all that in 2 hours 😫
Therefor, I’m going to gift them all this book 🙊 I’ll offer to help de clutter (now that I’m an expert after reading de-cluttering at the speed of life)
Thank you Dana, you’ve helped massively.
Elaine ☺️

Loved it
I love this book, can’t recommend it enough,I am finally managing to get my home under control. Also I find Dana’s voice very restful and often put the audio book on with headphones when I’m ‘doing the dishes’.

I love this audiobook
I have listened to this book several times. I often replay it when I’m washing the dishes and tidying up at the end of a long day. The book is very practical and helps me manage a busy home with two young children.
I love the narration by the author. It’s warm, witty, and relatable.

There is hope!!!
Absolutely loved Dana’s book. Behind the great humour there are words of wisdom to help us who were not “born-organised” to get over the overwhelm of not being in control of their house. With her simple routines (just 4 steps) these really make a massive difference to your home... it is transformative, even from Day 1, and gradually improves your confidence even you are starting from a position of hoarding, so you don’t get overwhelmed. Thanks so much Dana!
