a relief for slobs everywhere

Thank you for writing this book! It made me feel less overwhelmed about my house and bad habits. It is a comforting listen to reassure you that you are not the only one struggling to manage your house but you can improve your loving space drastically with just a few daily methods

Loved it

Honestly one of the books that has helped me most. There are lots of methods out there but only this one made me feel normal. Organising books are usually by organised people who have NO IDEA how it feels to live in my head. But Dana does. And she's found a way that worked for her. It worked for me too. So grateful.

excellent. was so refreshing to hear

Was brilliant. It was so refreshing to hear methods from someone that's not a naturally tidy organised person. It was like the author really got me.

A good read

Even if you do your dishes every day clean your kitchen floor do read this book.
It is for readers who are not very organised.
If you need ideas to organise your closet and how to make your house Pinterest worthy than this book is not for you.
I love one thing about this book is it changes your mindset.

Literally changed my life

I have loved listening to this book, I have been following all of Dana's advice for 4 weeks and it's working! I am no longer overwhelmed, I get things done and when I don't, I know how to get back on track without letting it suffocate me into doing nothing. I'd recommend this to anyone, but especially people suffering depression or anxiety who are struggling to keep on top of even the most basic household tasks. Dana will show you the way 💕

Great Book

Great book. Found chapter 31 good. Really helps you get a starting point. It's true the more you do, the more you want to carry on, once you start. Found book helpful.
